Implementación de un sistema de enfriamiento para el almacenamiento de frutillas.

Abstract

The purpose of this project is to study the cooling system and the different elements that make up a cold room for the conservation of strawberries after harvesting, respectively, and to avoid any anomaly that may occur with the fruit, such as the loss of nutrient quality and decomposition of the fruit. The main objective of this project is the implementation of a cooling system for the storage of strawberries in the company Maria's strawberries, to ensure a longer life and all its nutritional quality of strawberries to the consumption of all people, through the use of the cold room that emits cold for conservation through ventilation. According to the management of the variables of the research, this project is defined by the analysis, it is quantitative by the collection and analysis of information or data and the description of the problem, in the company Las Frutillas de María different equipment was used for the cooling system such as a 220 volt 220 Hp motor with a frequency of 60 Hz, a 220 volt solenoid valve, a 220 volt fan evaporator, and 8 mm polyurethane panels. With this project the cooling system of the cold room had a temperature of 7 °C for conservation, the cooling system in optimal conditions and correct operation. In the company, the strawberries had greater durability after the harvest and more economic income was obtained by the good condition of the fruit for conservation and today, they have a storage place for strawberries that is cold room.
