Abstract
By considering the storage temperatures of agricultural products, three types of PCMs $(K_1$, $K_2$, $K_3$) were developed to be used in temperature ranges of $0{\sim}5^{\circ}C$, $5{\sim}10^{\circ}C$ and $10{\sim}15^{\circ}C$, $K_1$ PCM for $0{\sim}5^{\circ}C$ was developed by mixture of $C_{14}H_{30}$ and soduim polyacrylate, and $K_2$ PCM for $5{\sim}10^{\circ}C$ and $K_3$ PCM for $10{\sim}15^{\circ}C$ were mixture of $C_{14}H_{30}$, $C_{18}H_{38}$ and soduim polyacrylate with different composition ratio. 'The target temperatures of cold chain system were set at $7^{\circ}C$, $13^{\circ}C$, and $17^{\circ}C$ with $K_{1-3}$, $K_{2-3}$ and $K_{3-1}$ PCMs, respectively. The times to reach the target temperatures in the storage chamber were 21 hours, 18 hours, and 61 hours with $K_1$, $K_2$, and $K_3$ PCMs, respectively. The performances of natural convection type and forced convection of the temperature controlled portable container were analyzed Apples were stored in the portable container of $5^{\circ}C$, and temperatures at surface and center were measured. The initial temperature of the apple was $25^{\circ}C$. The temperatures of apple at the surface and the center were $15^{\circ}C$ and $16^{\circ}C$, respectively, after 5 hours with natural convection type. However, the temperatures at the surface and the center were already reached to $7^{\circ}C$ within 1 hour with forced convection type. The forced convection type showed the better performance and the temperatures of portable container were maintained more than 15 hours.
