COOLER/REFRIGERATOR FOR AGRICULTURAL PRODUCT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a cooler/refrigerator for agricultural products gentle for natural environment in which a variety of agricultural products can be stored in an optimal low temperature preservation environment, respectively, at a low cost while saving energy. SOLUTION: A refrigerated warehouse 10 for storing agricultural products is sectioned into a low temperature compartment 12 where cooling can be performed through an ice storage cooling system S1, and an intermediate temperature compartment 13 where cooling can be performed through a water storage cooling system S2 utilizing atmospheric radiation cooling. The low temperature compartment 12 and the intermediate temperature compartment 13 can be switched between an independent environment and a continuous environment by means of a movable thermal insulation barrier wall 11. Preferably, the low temperature compartment 12 is set to perform cooling in a temperature band of 1 deg.C-15 deg.C and the intermediate temperature compartment 13 is set to perform cooling in a temperature band of 10 deg.C-15 deg.C or above.
