Controlled atmosphere, high to precise humidity, is the environmental storage, of usually vegetables, at a specified humidity and cooled temperature range. The amount of cooling and humidity level will vary by the type of crop, its maturity, harvest conditions, loading or stacking patterns, length of storage, and the intended use. For example, late crops may have a lower field temperature requiring less refrigeration (mild cost), while an early crop with higher temperatures will require more refrigeration. Some crops require a rapid cool down or narrower variation in temperature and humidity levels, which requires a larger capacity system (extreme cost).
For certain pallet or bin storage requiring only conditioned air, use component KYE5 (Controlled Atmosphere, Conditioned Air).
If heating and cooling is required, use component KYE3 (Controlled Atmosphere, Warmed and Cooled Air).
All controllers, sensors and analyzers appropriate for the cooling operation.
