Abstract

In rural areas the supply of power is non uniform and the load demand varies as per the requirement. Cold storage present in such areas are facing this difficulties because cold storage containing items like agricultural commodities and food items are prone to spoilage in absence of power. This project research proposes the introduction of a Phase Change Material in Cold storage plants to provide solution to such problems. This project promises to reduce and control the temperature drop for cold storage plant located in such areas with variable load. Also, the project aims in supporting the cold storage vehicle in covering a long distance as the temperature drop will be controlled as per their requirements in even hot summer days.
