Long-Term Carrot Storage Facility with High-Capacity Mechanical Refrigeration

Objective

Create a stable microclimate for long-term containerized carrot storage using only a mechanical refrigeration system
Complete the full engineering, manufacturing, delivery, and launch cycle within an eight-week deadline

Distinguishing Requirements

Provide a storage solution capable of maintaining carrot quality without a humidification system
Integrate an efficient CO₂ removal system to maintain proper air composition during long-term storage

Solution

Following the recommendations of Agrovent’s engineering specialists, one of the storage sections was equipped with a high-capacity mechanical refrigeration system specifically designed for carrot storage in warm and variable climates.

Key elements of the solution:

Central refrigeration station built on two high-efficiency compressors
Air coolers selected and positioned to ensure uniform airflow and stable temperature across all container rows
Microclimate configuration optimized to reduce dehydration risks even without the use of active humidification

This system ensures reliable long-term carrot preservation for regions such as India, Africa, KSA, and the UAE, where outside temperatures and humidity levels can significantly affect storage quality.

Implementation Stages
