Controlled Atmosphere Cold Storage
The controlled atmosphere cold storage, also known as air-conditioned warehouse, is the most advanced preservation method for fruits and vegetables. Based on refrigeration, this cold storage is configured with function of gas composition regulation. By controlling the temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide, oxygen concentration and ethylene concentration in the storage environment, it reduces the respiration of fruits and vegetables, delays its metabolism, and keeps freshness of fruits and vegetables, thus significantly prolonging the storage period and shelf life of fruits and vegetables. In general, controlled atmosphere cold storage can extend storage period by 0.5-1 times in comparison with common refrigerated warehouse. After leaving the cold storage, the storage period of fruits and vegetables can be extended by 21-28 days compared to common warehouse, that is, 3-4 times that of common one.
The controlled atmosphere cold storage is generally composed of airtight storage, air conditioning system, refrigeration system, humidification system, pressure balancing system, and automatic control system of temperature, humidity, O2, CO2 and gas.
CBFI Icesource has been focusing on the refrigeration industry for more than ten years. For cold storage, we not only design and supply standard cold storages, but also provide customers with integrated turnkey engineering services including design, procurement, installation, commissioning, maintenance and operation monitoring.
