Excerpt from Transportation of Citrus Fruit From Porto Rico
On referring to Figure 1 the method Of operation for securing the circulation of air is Obvious. To cause. The air to circulate across the hold from port to starboard, the dampers B in the suction chamber and C in the discharge chamber are closed, and dampers D in the suction chamber and A in the discharge chamber are opened. This arrangement allows the fans to draw the air through the dampers D from the port ducts, which empty into the port air chamber, and discharge it under pressure into the discharge chamber, thence through the damper A into the starboard air chamber and into the ducts leading into the holds. On reaching these ducts in the holds formed by the apron and the ship's side the air is forced along the cold brine pipes and out into the hold through the small holes which pierce the apron. It then circulates across the hold and is drawn into the port - side ducts through the holes in the apron along the brine pipes into the port air chamber, thus completing the circuit. TO re verse the direction Of the air movement through the hold it is only necessary to regulate the appropriate dampers. As far as the writers have been able to learn, this is the first time that this type of instal lation has been used in the American fruit trade.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book details the first four experimental voyages of a steamship fitted with refrigerated compartments for transporting citrus fruit between the US and Puerto Rico. The refrigeration system and techniques used, such as stowage methods and dunnage, were tested to determine their effectiveness in maintaining lower fruit temperatures during transit. The data collected provided valuable insights into the use of refrigeration to prevent decay and maintain the quality of citrus fruit during long-distance shipping. The experiments demonstrated the effectiveness of refrigeration in reducing fruit decay and extending the shelf life of citrus fruits during transport, which had significant implications for the citrus industry and the broader agricultural sector.
