Abstract:
This study is conducted to design a cold storage refrigeration cycle
using a generated energy of producer gas from agricultural residues and
other available trees in Sudan as prosopis juliflora to store vegetables and
fruits. The cold storage dimensions, thickness of required insulation, unit
and capacity of gasifier, also the link between the calculations of cold
storage heat load and the required capacity of gasifier have been
determined.
The desired design of cold storage is intended for Kurdufan state to
preserve milk, meet, vegetables and fruits; (Abujibaiha, Malam Elkour,
and Tajmala are taken as examples to save some perishable fruits and
vegetables
Experiments have been done on a fabricated absorption refrigeration
unit of 3 tonnage of refrigeration using an electrical heating as a similar
load instead of 15 metric ton of mangoes.
Finally a comparison was made between the experimental results of
the absorption system and a compression one, which gives an economical
feasible result.
