Ethylene Control Device (ECD) for Multi Temperature Refrigerated Container System (MTRCS)
Abstract
Develop a compact, low power, automated system that decomposes ethylene inside the Multi Temperature Refrigerated Container Systems (MTRCS) to extend the shelf life of fresh fruits and vegetables. The 300 watt Ethylene Control Device (ECD) provides an average of two week shelf life extension of fresh produce. It can be operated independently or in unison with the MTRCS refrigeration system and can be temporarily or permanently mounted with no negative impact to the MTRCS storage capacity. (MTRCS Operational Requirements Document (ORD) approved Apr 2002).
