Study of cold storage design and the impact of basic variables on its effectiveness

Abstract

In this paper, we study the different types of cooling and freezing stores that can actually be used to store and preserve foodstuffs, as well as the types of heat-insulating materials and moisture-insulating materials that are used in the structural composition of these stores, in addition to the method of calculating the various items that constitute the thermal load of these stores. For the purpose of evaluating and calculating the thermal loads of cold stores in big Market for storing table eggs and foodstuffs. In this research paper, the first and second warehouses were chosen for these stores. To complete these calculations, the design conditions (temperature) for the air outside the stores were determined based on the temperatures that were recorded for a period of 6 days from (11 am to 5 pm) and the temperatures that were taken from the meteorological station, the design conditions inside the warehouse were determined depending on the quality and grades of the stored food items Suitable storage temperature. Design calculations have been performed and practical readings have been recorded, and through the study it is clear that the capacity of the evaporators is much greater than the capacity of the stored materials.
