Cold storage sealing.

The realization of the Controlled Atmosphere – ULTRA LOW oxygen-is the operation by which the concentration of O2 in the cold store is reduced and maintained at a low level. This operation is possible only if the construction of the cold store is correct and complies with the gas tightness condition. Moreover, a properly built and gas-sealed cold storage will require less energy consumed to achieve and maintain the required conditions.

During the construction of the cold store, maximum attention should be paid to the following:

– sealing in all corners [floor – wall; wall – wall; wall – ceiling] including connections and fasteners of the refrigeration and humidification system [fixing rods; passing pipes and electrical wiring, passing water pipes and condensate leaks].

– sealing in front of the access refrigerating door [joining Wall – door and door – floor].

– the sealing between the joints of polyurethane panels [mother-father or crenellated type] the sealing of these joints represents the definitive elimination of losses generated by the unevenness of the joints between the panels.

Achieving a good tightness of the cold store leads to significant gains during the operation of the equipment as follows:

– quickly ensure temperature / humidity and gas concentration conditions.

– savings terminated by judicious exploitation of equipment and implicitly increase the life of castor equipment.

– important savings achieved with the judicious use of electricity necessary to restore the unbalanced technological conditions through the losses suffered by non-tensioning of cold stores.

Technology:

Defoliation of polyurethane panels from which the cold store was made [operation in charge of the construction company].

Cleaning and degreasing joints between panels and between panels and floor.

Application of the primary primer [quick-drying base layer] with good adhesion to different surfaces. It also ensures – after drying-a good adhesion for the next layer.

Apply protective tape over the primary primer.

Application of the final primer.

Final verification of the application mode, application of the presented system to the various pipe / cable / etc. crossings.

Any necessary repairs before the PIF operations of refrigeration equipment / ATC / humidification / ULO.

The airtightness test of refrigerated warehouses with controlled atmosphere can fit into the following levels:

-1.0 – 1.5% O2 concentration and 0.1-2.0% CO2 concentration-acceptable result, storage in ACT Grade 3

– 2.0 – 2.5% O2 concentration and 1.0-3.0% CO2 concentration-acceptable result, storage in ACT Grade 2

– 3.0 – 4.0% O2 concentration and 3.0-5.0% CO2 concentration-acceptable result, storage in ACT Grade 1

– >4.0% O2 concentration and > 52.0% CO2 concentration – unacceptable result, the samples are resumed after restoring the tightness of the deposits [restoring the tightness of panels, refrigerated doors, passages through walls-ceilings etc]

2.03

Protection and accessories cold stores provided with ATC and UI.

Due to the change in air pressure resulting from atmospheric changes and temperature differences, the air volume in the cold store is continuously under pressure and over pressure. A flexible air buffer-buffer tampón-is installed to compensate for these pressure differences. The excess air from the cold store is captured in this [over-pressure phase] and if necessary [under-pressure phase] is retransmitted to the warehouse. This process prevents the unwanted penetration of oxygen-rich air [in case of non-fatigue].

– buffer buffer 3 mc [recommended to install on warehouses with volume, 450 mc] – 3 pcs. Made of flexible PU. Dimensions: 2700 x 1150 [lxØ] [mm] – will be positioned above the cold stores. Provided with Manson Ø = 135 mm for coupling to PVC pipe Ø = 125 mm.

– flange [diameter = Ø 125mm]: provides a gas tight closure. The connection is made at 90 degrees for easy installation. An outer and an inner flange of the cold store is mounted.

– overpressure valve [diameter = Ø 160mm]: overpressure protection role. The increased diameter of 160mm allows the transit of a greater amount of air in a small unit of time which leads to increased protection even in the case of large and rapid pressure variations. It is set to 10mm column H2O.

The coupling flange of the overpressure valve [diameter = Ø 160mm] is of the sealed closure type with 90 degree connection. An outer and an inner flange of the cold store is mounted.

– flange for connection provided with threaded cap [diameter = Ø 50mm]: mainly used for tightness tests, additional temperature measurements gas sampling. An outer and an inner flange of the cold store is mounted.

– pressure indicator [provided with sample valve]: role in measuring overpressure or under pressure [mm column H2O] in the cold store during the storage process. It is also used to perform measurements during cold storage watertightness tests. The connection with the sample valves is also used for periodic sampling of control samples or samples relating to existing deposit conditions [gas concentration]. An outer and an inner flange of the cold store is mounted. Connection Ø = 12 mm

2.04

O2 Control in cold stores provided with ATC-UA.

The decrease in oxygen content inhibits the respiration of fruits. And yet, when the oxygen content is too low, the fruits will choke and the entire load of the cold store will be lost.

Therefore, oxygen supply [aeration] is necessary to maintain the optimum oxygen level in the cold store.

Aeration fan with sub-pressure valve.

The aeration fan introduces dosed oxygen-rich fresh air into the cold store using a switch, timer or external gas measuring device [ACS measuring station].

We offer a separate aeration fan combined with a sub-pressure valve for each cold store.

The advantages of aerating with an external fan are:

energy efficient aeration during cold storage loading when the oxygen content is too low or the CO2 content is too high.

– aeration of each cold store separately;

– maintaining the optimal capacity of the CO2 adsorber.

– the optimal [simple and precise] introduction of oxygen during storage.

– before opening the ATC storage the safe oxygen level is ensured by the aeration fan.

– so that the controlled environment can be accessed without any danger.

The aeration fan has an integrated sub-pressure valve with a diameter of 160 mm that allows the transport of a larger amount of air than in the case of using a sub-pressure valve with a diameter of 125 or 110 mm.

– connection Ø 160 mm / surface 200 cm2

– power 230 V, 75 watts

– capacity 370 m3 per hour at 100 Pa

– pressure gauge set to the pressure of 10 mm water column

Flange Ø 160 mm.

The flanges provide sealing and a 90 degree connection to the cold room. We recommend a flange outside and a flange inside the refrigerating chamber.

2.05

CO2 Control in cold stores provided with ATC-UA .

During breathing fruits and vegetables convert O2 into CO2. An important effect of increasing CO2 content is inhibition of breathing. And yet, if the CO2 level is too high, it can lead to damage to your valuable product and as a result it [CO2] will have to be replaced.

The CO2 Adsorber.

A CO2 adsorber removes excess CO2 without altering the low O2 content in the cold store. During adsorption the air with a low content of O2 is removed from the chamber by the adsorber and through this process the CO2 molecules bind with the activated carbon in the adsorber. The air purified of CO2 returns to the cold store. When activated charcoal is fully or partially saturated ,it will be regenerated [cleaned] with the help of fresh air. Prolonging the regeneration time will limit the transfer of ethylene between cold rooms to a minimum.

After regeneration the adsorber container is filled with fresh air, rich in oxygen that can be returned to the cold storage at the next adsorption process. However, the lung of the supplied adsorber replaces oxygen-rich air with low-oxygen air. The most important advantages of this equipment are:

– introduction of a minimum amount of oxygen during the entire process,

– the air in the cold room is not used to reduce the oxygen content by the adsorber. [this could cause an under-pressure and implicitly the entry of an amount of oxygen from the external environment].

The CO2 Adsorber works according to some” recipes ” through which various processes can be set. A separate recipe can be set for each cold store so that each product can be treated differently, in an optimal way.

An integrated timer can ensure that the adsorber ensures the Daily resumption of treatment a predetermined number of times. In addition, the adsorber can be controlled completely automatically by a gas measuring station of the ACS type.

The proposed system combines an existing pressure fan [frequency controlled] with the diameter of the correctly chosen PVC pipe. Reduce energy consumption to a minimum. This is a significant advantage becausethat the CO2 adsorber works most of the day.

For your application we recommend a CO2 model USC 255 :

– capacity 125 kg net CO2 in 24 hours

– power 0,5-1,1 kW [230 V / 1 ph / 50 Hz].

– average consumption 0,8 kW

– connection diameter of PVC pipes and double valves = 90 mm

– lung volume of the adsorber 4 mc; made of flexible PU.

– dimensions 1700 X 1325 X 1840 mm.

– equipment weight: 520 kg

Double valve CO2 Adsorber: the CO2 adsorber is connected to cold stores with a PVC pipe system. For a tight connection between each warehouse and adsorber a double valve is provided that opens and closes automatically during the process. The double valve is electronically controlled by the adsorber and is actuated by a pneumatic powered rotary actuator.The double valve is characterized by high level operating safety and long service life. Achievement:

– stamped aluminum housing.

– EBRO Rotary actuator, manufactured for intensive use in extreme conditions.

– butterfly valve specially designed for ATC application.

– EPDM rubber developed specifically for sealing butterfly valve.

The diameter of the double valve is adapted to the capacity of the CO2 adsorber. If the diameter is too small, air friction will introduce too much heat into the ATC cold store. On the other hand, a double valve too large would be unnecessarily expensive. Technical data:

– diameter 110 mm

– including 4 flanges for airtight mounting.

– pneumatic air supply with 8 bar.

-control unit on CO2 adsorber powered at 24 V.

Air compressor

The CO2 Adsorber is supplied with a robust piston compressor with cast iron cylinders that provides compressed air for both the double valves and the pneumatic valves of the CO2 adsorber.

– capacity of 204 l per minute at 10 bar.

– pressure switch with pressure gauge included.

– 100 l buffer tank.

– power 1.5 kW (400 V, 3 ph)

– dimensions 1000 x 420 x 800 (width * depth*height)

– weight 50 kg

Automatic leakage Control on the air compressor.

Automatic control of leakage from the buffer tank using a timer. Water resulting from condensation can be collected in a vessel or removed directly.

CO2 injection valve.

Some fresh products, such as berries, are stored at an “extreme” high content of CO2. When the fruit breath does not produce the required amount of carbon dioxide quickly enough, we can give nature a helping hand.Each cold store will be equipped with a CO2 injection valve for high control of the CO2 level in one or more stores at once. At the same time, after the injection, a slight overpressure can be created that can compensate for small losses. The injector valve can be connected to CO2 containers through a hose or pipe. Dosing can be done using a switch, timer or ACS gas measuring station. Technical data:

– magnetic valve 230 V

– 12mm hose connector

– connection to 7 diameter chamber”

– including 2 flanges for hermetic mounting

* CO2 containers are not included in the offer [will be insured by the beneficiary].

2.06

N2 Control in cold stores provided with ATC-UA.

The decrease in the content of O2 leads to inhibition of fruit respiration. When this happens naturally it can last more than 3 weeks in the normal process of fruit breathing. This period requires a large amount of energy from the fruit, which can lead to loss in quality and a reduction in shelf life. So we recommend that the reduction of O2 in the cold store be done in a controlled way using the injection of N2.

PSA N2 [nitrogen] generator.

PSA [oscillating pressure adsorber] produces pure nitrogen from atmospheric air. The PSA equipment contains two containers in which the high purity molecular carbon site is located, an air compressor, the compressed air tank and the necessary filters.

Pressure: molecular carbon sieves work more efficiently at high pressure than at low pressure. As a result PSA can produce nitrogen of higher purity than low pressure or vacuum systems.

Oscillating: while in the first container nitrogen is produced under pressure in the second one regeneration / cleaning takes place. After a certain time the processes in the two containers are reversed [automatic regeneration].

Adsorption: molecular carbon sieves adsorb oxygen molecules under pressure. When the pressure is released from the container the adsorbed oxygen molecules are released and sent out of the container.

The advantages of the PSA nitrogen generator system are:

– easy to use because the air in the room is not used in the production process.

– effective due to nitrogen production under high pressure conditions.

– effective because large amounts of pure nitrogen can be produced by using a VSA or VPSA membrane

– energy efficient by using a single compressor, without other moving components.

– reliable due to the simplicity in operation and the low risk of failure compared to other nitrogen generators; the PSA nitrogen generator is equipped as standard with filters and automatic condensate removal device so that no amount of oil, moisture or dust can enter the CMS.

For your application we recommend a PSA model up 1-12 nitrogen generator:

– production capacity of 12 Nm3 per hour with a purity of 1% residual oxygen.

– equipped with an integrated dehydrator .

– selector that switches between two pre-programmed levels of purity.

– compressor with rotary valve, with protection of the direction of rotation and air cooling.

– weight 620 kg

Temperature protection

This safety device ensures the automatic shutdown of the nitrogen generator when the ambient temperature drops below the freezing point.

The nitrogen buffer vessel.

The PSA equipment can be connected to a nitrogen buffer vessel. Pressure storage can be done for a limited amount of nitrogen so that nitrogen is immediately available on request. The PSA system pressure switch ensures its automatic shutdown when the pressure rises above a so-called specific level. In addition, the PSA system starts when the pressure drops below a specific level.

– nitrogen buffer vessel of 270 l authorized PED with certified protection.

– 3 m hose for the connection between the PSA and the nitrogen buffer vessel.

– pressure switch with pressure gauge included.

– sampling valve for periodic purity test measurements.

– dimensions / weight: 1600 x 500 [height*diameter] [mm] / 100 kg.

Nitrogen injection valve.

Each cold store must be equipped with an injection valve for the controlled lowering of O2 content in one or more stores at once. At the same time the injection may cause a slight overpressure in the warehouse which may compensate for small losses , if any. The injection valve can be connected to the nitrogen buffer vessel with a hose or pipe. Dosing is done by means of a switch, a timer and an external gas measuring station type ACS.

– magnetic valve 230 V

– 12mm hose connector

– connection to 7 ” diameter storage chamber [including 2 flanges for hermetic mounting].

2.07

Measurement and control technology.

The ATC control station will allow full automatic control of the atomosphere in cold stores. You just have to enter the desired target values and the system measures, checks, regulates and maintains the parameters of the chosen atmosphere. Each storage cold store has its own set of connections for measurement that is connected directly to the ACS. The gas samples are taken successively from each warehouse using a diaphragm pump. As a result, the CO2 adsorber and all other installed equipment can continue to work normally while the measurements are made. Then the ACS system compares the measured values with the target values after which the system will automatically take the appropriate action. The operation is done by ordering on a numeric touch-pad using a simple menu.

All components of the measurement and control system are mounted in a control cabinet. The order cabinet is made according to customer specifications. For your application we recommend a combine system: ACS is integrated into the control cabinet of the CO2 adsorber.

Measurements carried out on each cold store:

– O2 and CO2 in 3 warehouses.

– O2 and CO2 in the engine room [technical assembly space].

– O2 value in the lung of adsorption.

Alarms on each cold store:

– when deviating from the target value [relative or absolute].

– if the measurement is blocked [flow alarm].

– faulty sensor

– unstable measurement [signal fluctuation measured] .

Ordering the CO2 adsorber based on the target values on each cold store :

– adsorption of CO2 from the storage time [CO2 *].

A zirconia ceramic sensor will be used to measure the O2 concentration. Zirconium has a faster response and unlike other chemical cells, it does not diminish its function at the change of temperature and atmospheric pressure. Other properties are:

– measuring range 0 to 25%

– resolution 0.01%.

– accuracy 0.1% [calibrated to 5 factory points].

– lifetime more than 5 years

The CO2 sensor is of the dual infrared beam type.The sensor uses this technology to self-check and deviations in the sensor are automatically corrected. This sensor does not diminish its function at the change of temperature and atmospheric pressure.Other properties are :

– measuring range 0 to 10%.

– resolution 0.01%

– accuracy 0.1% (calibrated to 5 factory points).

– lifetime more than 5 years.

Control of the 3 aeration fans.

For ease of control, an output switch / relay is installed on each aeration fan in the ACS control cabinet. This Switch has three positions: off / continuous / automatic.

In the automatic position the aeration fan is activated based on the TPA [time Per Action] parameter control. Unique to TPA control is that the difference between the measured value and the target value is automatically converted to a longer or shorter aeration period. As a result, large deviations from the target value are avoided and therefore stress-free storage conditions are obtained for sensitive but valuable products .

– TPA control is carried out independently on each cold store as follows:

– aeration with oxygen during the storage period [O2 *].

– maintaining the level of O2 and CO2 during the introduction of products into the cold room [O2 * / CO2*].

– rapid increase of O2 in a short time before the opening of the refrigerating chamber [O2 *].

Control of the 3 CO2 injection valves.

For ease of control, an output switch / relay is installed on each CO2 injection valve in the ACS control cabinet. This Switch has three positions: off / continuous / automatic

In the automatic position the connected CO2 injection Valve is activated based on the control of the TPA Prameter [time Per Action].

TPA control is carried out independently on each refrigerating chamber as follows:

– lowering using carbon dioxide [O2 *].

– maintaining the CO2 level during the storage period [CO2 *].

Control of the 3 nitrogen injection valves

For ease of control, an output switch / relay is installed on each CO2 injection valve in the ACS control cabinet. This Switch has three positions: off / continuous / automatic.

TPA control is carried out independently on each cold store as follows :

– decrease using nitrogen [O2 *].

– maintaining the O2 level during the storage period (O2 *) measuring the purity of nitrogen in the buffer tank.

A pressure switch with a pressure gauge is installed in the ACS system to check and optimize the N2 supply settings. This module gives information about the purity of N2 product.
