Problems of building of refrigerated warehouses for fruit and vegetables

Abstract
The inaccuracies implicated in the calculations of thermal resistance of enclosures for fruit and vegetables storage facilities and found in normative documentation have been considered. Specific recommendations with regards to the choice of parameters, entering the formula for the calculation of thermal resistance depending on the climate and type of products are given. The methods proposed by the authors to evaluate the heat input through the enclosure for fruit storage are given, which offer the values of heat inputs by 30-40 % lower than those recommendeded by the existing method.
