An improved system for treating, precooling, and handling perishable products uses a mobile container enhanced with increased capacity refrigeration and air flow to recirculate functional substances including sanitizers, and ripening management and conditioning agents across the surface of palletized perishable products during the precooling step. Sanitizing substances are dispensed into the recirculating air to significantly reduce micro-organisms on the surface coming from the field and avoid recontamination from the cooling warehouse. Conditioning and ripening management substances are recirculated to enable managing the ripeness of a perishable to a target. The mobile container is able to operate independently outside of a refrigerated warehouse used for storage and distribution of the cooled perishable product. The mobile container can be located near harvest or facilities with no colling assets. A combined system using conveyors and operational controls provides automated handling of the perishables from receiving, precooling and treatment and then distribution.

An oxygen removal module, a fresh-keeping device and a refrigerator. The oxygen removal module comprises: an electrolyte tank provided with a water inlet; and a water tank provided with a water outlet, the water outlet being connected to the water inlet through a first pipeline, to supplement water to the electrolyte tank by means of the water tank.

An improved system and method for treating, precooling, and handling perishable products uses a mobile container enhanced with increased capacity refrigeration and air flow to recirculate functional substances including sanitizers, and ripening management and conditioning agents across the surface of palletized perishable products during the precooling step. As the perishable is precooled, the system integrates humidity control to reduce dehydration. Sanitizing substances are dispensed into the recirculating air to significantly reduce micro-organisms on the surface coming from the field and avoid recontamination from the cooling warehouse. Conditioning and ripening management substances are recirculated to enable managing the ripeness of a perishable to a target. The mobile container is modified from a standard intermodal container or over-the-road semi-trailer. The enhanced forced air and/or refrigeration equipment is contained within the container and/or mounted on the top and/or side exterior of the container and can accomplish rapid cooling. The system and method has thus combined rapid cooling, reduced dehydration, reduced surface micro-organism contamination, and conditioning or ripeness control for enhanced quality and shelf life. The mobile container is able to operate independently outside of a refrigerated warehouse used for storage and distribution of the cooled perishable product. The materials of construction used and operational independence enable safely using highly active sanitizing, ripening management, and other functional substances. The mobile container can be located near harvest or facilities with no cooling assets. A combined system using conveyors and operational controls provides automated handling of the perishables from receiving, through precooling and treatment, preferably to a MAP process, and then distribution.

A volatilization device and a storage device. The volatilization device comprises: a shell having a cavity, an air outlet communicated with the cavity being formed on the shell; and a color change member fixed on the shell. One side of the color change member is exposed to the cavity, the other side of the color change member can be seen from the outer wall of the shell, and the color change member changes color according to the concentration of a target gas in the cavity. The storage device comprises a box and the volatilization device, and the shell is fixed in the box. The color change member is fixed on the shell, one side of the color change member is exposed to the cavity of the shell, the other side of the color change member can be seen from the outer wall of the shell, and a user thus can determine, by observing the color change of the color change member, the validity of an item to be stored in the cavity, helping the user in in-time replacing.

An improved system and method for treating, precooling, handling, and packaging perishable products uses a mobile container enhanced with increased capacity refrigeration and air flow to recirculate functional substances including sanitizers, and ripening management and conditioning agents across the surface of perishable products during the precooling step. The mobile container is a prefabricated container or is modified from a standard intermodal container or over-the-road semi-trailer. The enhanced forced air and/or refrigeration equipment is contained within the container and/or mounted on the top and/or side exterior of the container and can accomplish rapid cooling. The mobile container can be located near harvest or facilities with no cooling assets. A combined system using conveyors and operational controls provides automated handling of the perishables from receiving, through precooling and treatment, through processing and packaging, preferably to a MAP process, and then to distribution.

Disclosed herein is a storage cabinet, such as a refrigerator, climatic chamber, wine storage cabinet, or freezer. The storage cabinet includes at least one thermally insulated interior for receiving stored goods, said interior having an access opening which can be closed by means of a door. The storage cabinet includes a cooling unit which can be activated for predefined cooling capacities in order to cool the air in the interior. The storage cabinet includes a device for treating the interior air, the device including a flow channel having a filter element attached therein and a flow generator for conveying the air through the filter element, the flow channel including at least one inlet opening and at least one outlet opening for connection to the interior. The filter element includes a filter medium made of material that can be regenerated.

The present disclosure provides a portable storage apparatus for storing and transporting goods at a predefined temperature. The portable storage apparatus (401) includes the following. A sensor system (402) including a temperature sensor (406) and a microcontroller (403) connected to the sensor system. A separation plate (105) is connected to guiding rods (106) for forming one or more hot chambers (201) and/or a cold chamber (202) and movable means is coupled for enabling the separation plate (105) to slide. A heating means (416) is configured for maintaining a first temperature inside the hot chamber and a cooling means (414) is configured for maintaining a second temperature inside the cold chamber. The first temperature and the second temperature are predefined based on user-defined temperature and/or goods stored. The microcontroller (403) controls the heating means and/or the cooling means based on the measured temperature and the predefined first temperature and second temperature.

A reefer container configured to cool a gas inside a container body, including: the container body; a circulation line with a suction port and a blowout port each of which is disposed inside the container body; a compressor disposed in the circulation line and configured to compress the gas suctioned from inside the container body to the circulation line through the suction port; a heat exchanger disposed in the circulation line and configured to cool the gas compressed in the compressor; an expander disposed in the circulation line and configured to expand the gas cooled in the heat exchanger; and at least one separation device disposed in the circulation line and configured to separate some of components from the gas compressed in the compressor.
