REFRIGERATION TECHNICAL OFFICER at ColdHubs Limited
ColdHubs is a “plug and play” modular, solar-powered walk-in cold room for 24/7 off-grid storage and preservation of perishable foods. It adequately addresses the problem of post-harvest losses in fruits, vegetables, and other perishable foods. ColdHubs is installed in major food production and consumption centers (in markets and farms). Farmers place their produce in clean plastic crates, which are stacked inside the cold room. This extends the freshness of fruits, vegetables, and other perishable food from 2 days to about 21 days. The solar-powered walk-in cold room is made of 120-mm insulating cold room panels to retain cold. Energy from solar panels mounted on the roof-top of the cold room is stored in high-capacity batteries; these batteries feed an inverter, which in turn feeds the refrigerating unit.
