Low-temperature refrigeration system for biogas upgrading has been developed by the Cryo Pur company based on cooling biogas in three steps: Removing most of the water content at -40 ℃, removing siloxanes and SVOCs at -85 ℃ and frosting CO2 at temperatures varying from -90 ℃ to -120 ℃. This process transforms biogas containing typically 60% methane, 35% CO2, 5% water vapor in methane containing 2.5% of CO2. This paper studies how a single low-temperature refrigeration system is able to cool biogas with an indirect system using low-temperature heat-transfer fluids. The exergy study defines the exergy losses and served as guidance for the energy/pinch analysis that is used for the design of the heat-exchanger series and the appropriate heat recovery. An optimal system could save up to 40% of the electric consumption of the refrigeration system.

To minimize losses between harvest and retail display, a system is needed to track temperature and RH exposure of fresh produce and predict its quality at each step of the distribution chain. With accurate models, such system could (1) identify problematic situations before losses occur; (2) become a management tool for decision makers; and (3) help quantify the real impact of individual inappropriate conditions. A project was initiated to develop models required for such a decision system. Because the data required to develop models were not availab.e for most fruit and vegetables, a series of storage trials was planned for measuring changes in physiological and microbial quality, and development of physiological disorders and/or diseases, as a function of time, temperature and RH. To meet this objective, controlled environment mini-chambers were designed, built and instrumented for measuring the effect of traceable environmental conditions encountered during storage and transportation of fresh horticultural produce of similar size and shape as tomato. detailed design and performance evaluation of these mini-chambers are presented.
