Controlled Atmosphere Storage

Controlled atmosphere storage is now a commonly used enhancement to refrigerated storage for prolonging the storage life of some types of produce. Usually controlled atmosphere means regulating the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide within the storage rooms for extended storage times. Computer control is the norm for controlled atmosphere storage because good control requires continuous and repetitive checks and adjustments.

Benefits of Computer Control

• Improved quality - more precise and consistent control of storage conditions
• Data collection - for complying with export requirements and evaluation of storage strategies
• Reduced labor - frees operators up for other tasks through automatic reporting and alarming, and through remote monitoring
• Reduced energy consumption - primarily through the control of refrigeration equipment

Computer Control Functions

• Gas level monitoring
• Automated sample control
• Room vent fan control
• Nitrogen injection control
• Refrigeration controls
