A blast cell system is disclosed that includes a plurality of bays that are spaced across the blast cell, arranged to hold items to be cooled, wherein each bay is separated from each other bay so as to prevent cross-flow of air from one bay to another bay; a plurality of louvers, each covering a different bay of the plurality of bays; one or more flow sensors, temperature sensors, or both positioned to sense conditions for each of the plurality of bays; and a controller programmed to modulate open-closed positions of each of the plurality of louvers separately from others of the plurality of louvers, so as to allow different volumes of cooling air to flow through each respective bay.

Vertical cold chain temperature-controlled storage and methods of operating the same are provided. In some embodiments, a vertical cold chain temperature-controlled storage system includes: a vertical lift module which includes: a plurality of shelves; and at least one opening. One or more of the plurality of shelves includes a power subsystem for powering a tote. This might enable more efficient and more dynamic temperature control during storage.

A system is provided that offers climate control, and optionally other processing, in separated compartments that hold items in removable and/or lockable containers that may be individually climate-controlled. In addition to these basic functions, the system can integrate functions for notifying users of important events. Examples include, but are not limited to, sensor readings that indicate spoiled food, temperature changes outside a desired range, containers not opened or removed within a predetermined time period, etc. Different processing options for items stored in the compartments may be integrated into the system. Examples of advanced processing include, but are not limited to, heating (thawing, cooking), pressurizing or depressurizing containers, physical movement of items (vibrating, turning content in the container), etc.

A modular air handler is adapted for installation in a racking assembly behind palletized product. The air handler operates to move air through the adjacent layers of palletized product upon placement of the palletized product in the adjacent space. The air handler can be deactivated in order to prevent unnecessary air flow when no palletized product is present in the adjacent space. A number of the modular air handlers may be provided for a racking assembly, such that individual pallet bays may be activated or deactivated as palletized product is deposited or withdrawn from the various pallet bays of the rack.

A cold storage arrangement and related methods include an insulated end wall, a rear end wall, and a pair of lateral walls defining a chamber therein. An insulated partitioning wall extends through the chamber to partition the chamber into an insulated compartment and a utility room. First and second refrigeration cabinets configured to receive respective first and second refrigeration units are positioned within the utility room. A first inlet vent and a first outlet vent are configured to fluidly connect the first refrigeration cabinet to the atmospheric air for receiving atmospheric air into the first refrigeration cabinet and discharging a first exhaust air from the first refrigeration cabinet. A second inlet vent and a second outlet vent are configured to fluidly connect the second refrigeration cabinet to the atmospheric air for receiving atmospheric air into the second refrigeration cabinet and discharging a second exhaust air from the second refrigeration cabinet.
