Abstract

The authors present a study on the reduction of electric energy consumption in the process of preserving agri-food products. Refrigeration facilities used to cool various easily perishable agri-food products were examined in order to establish solutions for increasing energy efficiency in the storage process. The proposed solution provides for the combination of the refrigeration installation with step cooling, with the infl ow cooler with fan installed in the outside environment, which during the cold period of the year supplies the installation with artificial cold. The experimental results have shown that this system allows the reduction of approximately 27% of the electric energy consumption consumed annually by the existing installations.
