INTRODUCTION
The introduction of refrigeration technology a century earlier has created a huge
impact in the proper application of a controlled atmospheric storage. This innovation is
widely used in many industries nowadays due to its potential and affectivity.
In line with the conditions that must be meet in order to have a good storage
room, the design of a long-term storage for fresh beef involves several factors. It must
be convenient for handling and management of the stored products. The structural
design must be right for the products. In general, any type of building can be a good
storage if it is structurally adequate, well insulated and meets the functional needs.
Environmental control, including a good insulation system, is the key.
In relation to this rapid growth of refrigeration and cold storage technology, we
the Mechanical Engineering student of RTU-Mandaluyong in supervision of Engineer
Arleigh Rafael Lozano created our own design of cold storage system for 32 tons of
beef. This design is essential for food industry, food processing, and food marketing
applications.

TYPE OF COLD STORAGE
LONG AND SHORT COLD STORAGE
PRODUCT TO BE STORED
BEEF FRESH MEET (unpack)
BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT
Proper storing of food such as beef is our aim of this project. In refrigeration,
constant cooling is achieved by the circulation of refrigerant in cooling system, in which it
evaporates to a gas and then condense back again into a liquid in continues cycle. If it is
no leakage occurs, the refrigerant last indefinitely through out the entire life of the
system. All that is required to maintain cooling is a constant of energy, or power, and a
method of dissipating waste heat.
The safe storage period depends upon the product and the storage
temperature and operational techniques vary greatly. The purposed was restarted as to
provide cold storage of high quality product to be stored to a long time, especially beef
meat for human consumption. In our point of view, economic provides a mean of
selecting project. It plays a vital role in the lives of the individual who will believe in
capability of serving as well as in the country’s economic growth. Undoubtedly this
project can harm the environment if precautions are not undertaken, endangering not
only the nature but also people’s welfare.

Socio – economic Study
Our said cold storage is to be located at center business of Taguig, it is
surrounded by food industries, semiconductors industries and passenger terminals, it will
take a almost half kilometer away from LMR market and Signal village market. A
slaughter house is one kilometer away form the said Cold storage located at Lower
Bicutan, Taguig.
The ambient temperature of the location is around 25 to 35 depending on the
season. It could be accessible to travel in service roads and highways due to wide

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Safety of people, environment and living organism is our concern so we assure
that this project “Cold Storage” will not harm the said concern. Some refrigerant are
dangerous to our environment that causes global warming. Because we want our project
environment friendly, we choose to use R134a as the refrigerant. This refrigerant is
(CFC) Choroflourocarbon free and prevents ozone layer deflection. Proper waste
disposal is also our concern to ensure not only the health of the consumers but also the
people living near the project.

Components:
Evaporator
An evaporator changes liquid into gaseous state. For instance, water is heated and
changed into steam. Therefore, it is the opposite of a condenser.
How an evaporator works
The solution containing the desired product is fed into the evaporator and passes a heat
source. The applied heat converts the water in the solution into vapor. The vapor is
removed from the rest of the solution and is condensed while now the concentrated
solution is either fed into a second evaporator or is removed. The evaporator as a
machine generally consists of four sections. The heating section contains the heating
medium, which can vary. Steam is fed into this section. The most common medium
consists of parallel tubes but others have plates or coils. The concentrating and
separating section remove the vapor being produced in the solution. The condenser
condenses the separated vapor, then the vacuum or pump provides pressure to
increase circulation.
Types of Evaporators
Natural/Forced circulation evaporator – these kinds of evaporators are based on the
natural circulation of the product caused by the density differences that arise from
heating. In an evaporator tubing, after the water begins to boil, bubbles will rise and
cause circulation, facilitating the separation of the liquid and the vapor at the top of the
heating tubes. The amount of evaporation that takes place depends on the temperature
difference between the steam and the solution.
RIZAL TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY
College of Engineering and Industrial Technology
Falling film evaporators – this kind of evaporator is generally made of long
tubes (4-8 meters in length) which are surrounded by steam jackets. The uniform
distribution of the solution is important when using this type of evaporator. The solution
enters and gains velocity as it flows downward. This gain in velocity is attributed to the
vapor being evolved against the heating medium, which flows downward as well.
Condenser
Condensers are heat exchangers which convert steam from its gaseous to its liquid
state, also known as phase transition. In so doing, the latent heat of steam is given out
inside the condenser.
Types of Condensers
Water-cooled condenser - Water-cooled condensers are of the multi-pass shell and
tube type, with circulating water flowing through the tubes. The refrigerant vapor is
admitted to the shell and condensed on the outer surfaces of the tubes.
RIZAL TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY
College of Engineering and Industrial Technology
Air-cooled condensers – The construction of air-cooled condensers makes use of
several layers of small tubing formed into flat cells. The external surface of this tubing is
provided with fins to ease the transfer of heat from the condensing refrigerant inside the
tubes to the air circulated through the condenser core around the external surface of the
tubes (fig. 6-20). Condensation takes place as the refrigerant flows through the tubing,
and the liquid refrigerant is discharged from the lower ends of the tubing coils to a liquid
receiver on the condensing unit assembly.

Compressor
A compressor is a mechanical device that increases the pressure of a gas by reducing
its volume. Compression of a gas naturally increases its temperature. Compressors are
similar to pumps: both increase the pressure on a fluid and both can transport the fluid
through a pipe. As gases are compressible, the compressor also reduces the volume of
a gas. Liquids are relatively incompressible, so the main action of a pump is to transport
liquids.
Types of compressors
Centrifugal compressors – use a vane rotating disk or impeller in a shaped housing to
force the gas to the rim of the impeller, increasing the velocity of the gas.
Diagonal or mixed flow compressors – are similar to centrifugal compressors, but
have a radial and axial velocity component at the exit from the rotor.
Reciprocating compressors – use pistons driven by a crankshaft. They can be either
stationary or portable, can be single or multi-staged, and can be driven by electric
motors or internal combustion engines.
Fan Coil Units
A Fan Coil Unit (with supplementary air) is a “below-window unit…which moves the
room air as it provides either heating or cooling. Centrally conditioned, tempered fresh
air is brought to the space in a constant-volume stream; the fan moves both fresh and
room air across a coil that either heats or cools the air, as required.” In addition, Fan Coil
Units have a flexible installation, and may be located in arrangements other than below-
window, as required.

Circulating Pump
A pump is a device used to move liquids or slurries. A pump moves liquids from lower
pressure to higher pressure, and overcomes this difference in pressure by adding
energy to the system (such as water system).
Expansion Valve
An expansion valve is precision device used to meter the flow of liquid refrigerant
entering the evaporator at a rate that matches the amount of refrigerant being boiled off
in the evaporator, This is it’s main purpose but like all the other metering devices it also
provides a pressure drop in the system, separating the high pressure side of the system
from the low pressure side. Thus allowing low pressure refrigerant to absorb heat onto
it’s self.
Operation:
The operation of the refrigeration system of our design follows the simple vapor
compression cycle: at first the refrigerant will enter the compressor as a vapor; the vapor
is compressed at constant entropy and exits the compressor superheated. The vapor
travels through the condenser which first cools and removes the superheat and then
condenses the vapor into a liquid by removing additional heat at constant pressure and
temperature.
RIZAL TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY
College of Engineering and Industrial Technology
The liquid refrigerant goes through the expansion valve where its
pressure abruptly decreases, causing flash-evaporation and auto-refrigeration of,
typically, less than half of the liquid. That results in a mixture of liquid and vapor at a
lower temperature and pressure. The cold liquid-vapor mixture then travels through the
evaporator coil or tubes and is completely vaporized by cooling the warm water that is
from the fan coil units being returned by the water pump.
The chilled water serves as the secondary refrigerant. It is needed to cool the fan
coil units which are located inside the storage room to absorb the heat. The resulting
refrigerant vapor returns to the compressor.

RECOMMENDATION
CONDITIONS OF FROZEN STORAGE
As there is a certain degree of quality deterioration, even at very low
temperatures, storage life is limited. The usual temperatures are in the range of -18° to -
25°C for periods of preservation of one year or more. However, each type of meat
requires specific conditions.
In addition to personal hygiene, and cleaning and disinfection programmes in
slaughterhouses, chilling facilities and cutting rooms, particular care should be taken
when cutting and deboning and packaging, keeping contamination of the meat to a
minimum. Carcasses should preferably be cut while hanging or on regularly cleaned
surfaces, with tools frequently sterilized during operation and the meat stored in clean
containers. The packaging material should be of good quality and clean.
It is recommended that carcasses be thawed at 4° to 6°C, in a hanging position
and without any covering (plastic or jute is removed), inside a cold chamber with a
reasonably low level of air circulation - about 0.2 m/s. Relative humidity must be kept low
at the beginning (70 percent) to avoid frost forming on the meat surface, with an
increase at the end of the thawing period up to 90–95 percent. In these conditions
thawing of beef carcasses lasts about four to five days and of smaller carcasses one to
three days. It must take place in installations specifically designed for this purpose.
