Effect of Soft Foamed Polyethylene on the Property of Portable Mini-Cold Storage

Article Preview

Abstract:

Effect of PE materials on environmental temperature, frost accumulation and electricity consumption of mini store-room prepared with the new type foamed polyethylene was investigated. The application of portable mini cold storage room made of this material on the quality of “Fuji” apples was also studied. The fruits of apples had good quality after 150 days storage. Our findings reveal that soft foamed PE insulation material has a good potential to prepare mini store-room for the preservation of fruits.
