ABSTRACT:
Agricultural crops are cooled immediately after harvest to prevent postharvest deterioration. A forced-air cooling system is utilized wherein air permeable containers of produce are stacked in rows within a warehouse to define multiple cooling bays. Each bay is independently operated for the sequential loading, cooling and unloading of its contents without appreciable energy losses to surrounding bays.
