Study on cold room enhancements for commercial applications -Review

When agricultural goods begin to be transported by those temperatures where value added products can be transported, cold room assessments in industrial applications must be validated. Computational feedback can improve the process consistency. Data on coolant and boundary dynamics can be evaluated by means of computer fluid dynamics (CFD). Air speed and air temperature are the distribution parameters in this analysis. When the vegetable temperature is preserved with less variations in the storage room, as well as the required air distribution, the best effects of proper preservations are achieved. With proper air circulation, temperature difference is minimised. Air speed is necessary to protect the cold storage of agricultural products. This project's main objective was to observe the decrease in temperature when PCMs are used within the cold storage space. Most of the experimental results demonstrated that in the event of regular openings of doors, also in the context of electricity failures using PCM, the temperature retained inside the cool space was 1–4.5 °C lower than without PCM, even in the cases of electrical failures using PCM. The present study focuses on applying guidelines to enhance cold room technology for improved outcomes in cold storage. Present work discussed about the reference methods and the techniques used in previous literature with future recommendations.
