Preservation
Cooling rooms for fruit
An important part of refrigeration applications focuses on fruit preservation, because fruit is a very perishable product.
The role of cold
Designing the installation
Concepts such as specific heat must be considered for the correct design of the refrigeration installation. Also, to get the highest efficiency from the cold room, correct harvesting and post-harvest operations are essential.
Our solution
Preservation in cooling rooms
The best solution for fruit preservation is normally a cooling room that keeps the fruit at the right temperature and humidity.
During preservation, fruit keeps breathing and carrying out metabolic processes, so air renewal inside the cold room is essential, although in some cases, where doors are opened and closed frequently, this may be enough.
Temperature
Close to freezingThe temperature at which fruit must be kept may vary according to the variety; the most used temperatures are close to freezing.
Humidity
Between 85 and 90 %The most common humidity range, although it may vary according to the variety.
Air renewal
Fruit keeps breathing during preservation, so renewing the air inside the room is essential.
