SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING THE AIR COMPOSITION WITHIN A STORAGE ROOM FOR BREATHING VEGETABLE PRODUCTS

摘要

System for controlling the air composition within a storage room for breathing vegetable products. The storage room is connected to means for controlling the oxygen contents of the atmosphere in the storage room and comprises one or more sensors for sensing the air composition in the storage room. A processor is available receiving the sensor signals and supplying control signals to oxygen contents controlling means. Furthermore the storage room comprises sensors for determining the development of metabolites in the vegetable products at the transfer of normal breathing to fermentation. The processor based on the signals, delivered by said sensors, controls the oxygen contents controlling means such that the vegetable products are stored in an air composition in which the oxygen contents is as low as possible without fermentation occurring.
