Simulation Study on Air Supply Methods for Fruit and Vegetable Storage in High-Density Storage
To extend the preservation period of fruits and vegetables within the storage facility,maintaining the temperature within a minimal fluctuation range is essential.Additionally,to further enhance the storage capacity utilization in ship cold storage units,a dense storage approach is adopted within the fruit and vegetable storage.To achieve a temperature fluctuation range of±0.5 ℃ under dense storage conditions,a simulation research is conducted on the airflow supply methods for the fruit and vegetable storage in a densely packed setting in this study.By establishing a simulation model for airflow organization within the storage,two distinct air supply methods were evaluated:direct air supply from the cooling fan and an approach utilizing adjustable vents are located at the top.The findings indicate that employing adjustable vents at the top ensures that the temperature fluctuation within most areas of the densely stored storage does not exceed±0.5 ℃,meeting the requirements for precise temperature control.Valuable insights are provided by these research outcomes for the subsequent layout and air supply method selection for cold storage units on actual ships.
