nit trichy in collaboration with iifpt develops energy saving and cost-effective cold storage system | trichy news - times of india - battery energy storage system

Industrial Automation Laboratory, National Institute of Technology (NIT)
Trichy has developed energy saving and cost-
Establish an effective refrigeration system in conjunction with the Indian Institute of Food Processing Technology (IIFPT)Thanjavur.
This prototype of 2-
Solar auxiliary cold storage (ton capacity)PSCS)
The development cost of the system is Rs 1.
10 crore funded by the Ministry of Science and Technology (DST).
Opened on Saturday by Mini Shaji Thomas, director of trictrichy, the main purpose of the PSCS system is to replicate mobile multiple
The commodity refrigeration system can store different fruits and vegetables.
This will help reduce after
She said that, in particular, the loss of harvest from farmers' fields to refrigeration facilities is a major problem facing Indian farmers' communities.
The team that developed the system said that by keeping the temperature and humidity of fruits and vegetables within the recommended standard range, the system could improve the shelf life of fruits and vegetables.
The uniqueness of the project is the use of low melting temperature phase change materials (PCM)
Store and cycle in a cold room instead of directly vaporizing the refrigerant.
Say it's an energy saving and cost
Compared to battery energy storage, the team said that the excess cold energy can be stored in phase change materials (PCM)
Use without solar and power grids.
The project team was also informed that the technology was ready to be disseminated to interested stakeholders.
