Agricultural cold storage is a core facility for modern farm produce preservation. It effectively extends shelf life, reduces post-harvest losses, enables off-season sales, and significantly enhances the added value of agricultural products through precise temperature control.
Its application primarily involves setting different temperatures based on the types of stored goods:
• High-temperature cold storage (0°C to 4°C): Suitable for storing fruits, vegetables, fresh eggs, dairy products, etc., by inhibiting respiration and maintaining freshness.
• Low-temperature cold storage (-18°C to -25°C): Used for frozen storage of aquatic products, meat, frozen foods, etc., to achieve long-term preservation.
• Ultra-low temperature cold storage (-45°C to -60°C): Employed for special seafood such as tuna or for scientific research purposes.
