ISHS Acta Horticulturae 62: Symposium on Vegetable Storage

CALCULATION MODEL FOR CONCENTRATIONS OF CARBON DIOXIDE AND OXIGEN IN CA STORES

Author:   H. Baumann
Abstract:
Operating a CA store one can calculate from the oxigen balance the level of oxigen (a) and carbon dioxide (b), resp. depending on two parameters, which describe the amount of atmosphere lost through leaks of the store and the scrubber, resp. by the equation:
Formula available in full text only

p refers to the quotient loss of atmosphere through leaks in the store walls : volume of CO2 produced by stored crop; r means the quotient loss of atmosphere by scrubbing : volume of CO2 absorbed.
