Conception, realisation, test of a photovoltaique cold storage room

Objective



The extension of this project will concern two aspects :
* Conception,realization and test of PV cold room adapted for milk ans milk products
This adaptation of the cold room for this specific application is quite interesting because it corresponds to a need both in developing countries and in Eastern european countries.
- Specifications for the cold storage room
. Loading: about 50 liters of sheep milk every day in the evening and cheese produced from milk every day.
. Duration of storage: 1 day for milk ; 3 to 4 weeks for cheese . Storage conditions: 6C to 8C for milk and 6C for cheese with necessity of rapid temperature falling

- Conception of the cold storage room
The product already defined for meat,fruits... storage will be adapted to the particular product which is the milk.The cold room adapted to needs will be composed by a 2.5m3 cell.
This one will be constitute by 2 parts:
- the lower part will be like a water tank inside of which will be disposed set of milkcan specially adapted for this cell.
- the upper part will be reserved for cheese storage or other milk products.
A prototype of milk cold storage room will be tested in real conditions of use during summer in Romania.

* Modellization of the whole system PV cold room
After system conception and components testing in laboratory,parameters of each component obtained, it is important to modellize components and realize a simulation program of the PV cold room.
- Development of mathematical models of major devices and processes - Development of logical model of control function of the system - Design and implement of a software system to simulate the functioning of the complete system and the performance of control strategies under various environmental (climate) conditions,loading, and energy supply constraints
- Investigation of the possibility for developing strategies for efficient operation and intelligent diagnosing of the cold storage facility - This simulation program will be validated with experimental testing results and will be adapted to different appliances of the cold room (as well for meat,fish storage,vegetables storage as for milk and milk products storage).
