- Needs high humidity; it loses water and weight quickly if humidity drops. Select the evaporator with a small temperature difference (TD, between room air and evaporator).
- The storage temperature is close to the freezing point; a drop in temperature freezes the product. Precise control and good air distribution are required.
- Pre-cool as soon as possible after harvest; produce entering the store at field heat loses quality and adds to the cooling load.
