Description: Electrical energy consumption by three different refrigerated produce storage systems was monitored over two storage seasons (22 mo). The jacketed storage was the lowest energy user with a mean consumption between 0.8 and 0.9 kW. The Humi-fresh storage had the highest mean consumption of about 2 kW. Monitoring proved effective in detecting a fault in the fan speed controller of a modified conventional storage which other wise had a mean energy consumption of 1.1-1.2 kW. Energy consumption in all storages did not appear to vary markedly with load. However, the Humi-fresh storage showed a significant correlation of energy use in response to outside temperatures. Although satisfactory produce storage was achieved with both the Humi-fresh and jacketed storage systems, economy of operation would favor the latter, especially if controlled atmosphere storage were desirable.
