DIMENSIONAL DESIGN
SCHEMATICS
The forced-air evaporative cooling chamber detailed in these documents is designed for the storage of fruits and vegetables. Cool air is created in these chambers using the principle of evaporative cooling, where water evaporating from a wet pad reduces the temperature and increases the humidity of the air passing through the pad.
Because the air flowing through the chamber is both cool and humid, this chamber is only suitable for storing produce that can effectively be stored in humid environments; agricultural products like cereal grains and onions will rot in the humid conditions present in these chambers and should be stored using other methods.
This section covers the overall design of the forced-air evaporative cooling chamber, including information on the sizes and arrangement of the components needed for the chamber.
This set of documents includes:
-
A pdf containing annotated section views of the container and notes on key aspects of the design
-
Videos taking you through the computer aided design models and
-
Zip directories of the CAD files
