Abstract

1,094,234. Storing animal and plant matter. ATLANTIC RESEARCH CORPORATION. Aug. 18, 1965 [Aug. 28, 1964; March 29, 1965; April 30, 1965], No. 35338/65. Heading A2D. In a method of storing apples or other plant and/or animal mater by retarding the respiration rate of such matter, apples 8 are held within a refrigerated storage chamber 10 and part of the storage atmosphere is continuously removed, purified by passage through a unit 20 to remove at least one of the respiration products, passed through a humidifier 22, and returned to the chamber 10 while for a limited period another part of the atmosphere is passed through a catalytic burner 30 wherein a less than stoichiometric quantity of an oxygen-combustible fuel is oxidized in its presence and returned to the chamber 10 via a humidifier 54 until the oxygen content of the atmosphere has been reduced to a predtermined amount. When storing apples, the preferred adsorbant for use in the purifying unit 20 is a synthetic zeolite that will remove carbon dioxide, ethylene, aldehydes and ketones. The preferred fuel is propane, but hydrogen, natural gas, water gas and liquified petroleum gas are also mentioned. In another embodiment, the purified and oxygen reduced streams are combined before being passed through a single humidifier. In a further embodiment, the storage atmosphere is sequentially passed through the purifying unit 20 and the burner 30; a valve controlled by-pass circuit round the burner 30 being also provided.
