    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling the atmosphere in a closable space filled with agricultural or horticultural products. The method comprises directly detecting the respiration of the agricultural or horticultural products and adjusting an oxygen content, a carbon dioxide content and/or a nitrogen content in the space subject to the detected respiration. The respiration is detected here periodically, in each case for a determined time, and the space is sealed off from external influences during detection of the respiration. A very good control is achieved by taking the actual respiration as starting point, and a highly reliable detection forms the basis of this control when the detection is performed periodically for some time in a completely isolated atmosphere. The invention also relates to an installation for performing the method, and to a closable space provided with such an installation.

    Abstract: The invention relates to the monitoring of the state of produce within transport containers, with particular application to dynamic monitoring of the respiration rate of produce in controlled atmosphere container systems used in cargo container transportation. A method is provided for tracking, over an extended period, the respiration rate of produce contained in a leaky transport container, including the steps of, at intervals during said extended period, for a prescribed period, being a respiration rate data block (RRDB) cycle, ensuring that there is substantially no air passage between the interior and the exterior of the transport container other than leakage, identifying the leakage rate of the transport container, measuring, at intervals over said RRDB cycle, the concentration of one or more constituent gases in the transport container as the produce respires; and calculating, at a logic unit, from said measurements of concentrations of said one or more constituent gases and said leakage rate, a respiration rate of the produce for each RRDB cycle. In a controlled atmosphere container system, the method involves, under control of a controller, at intervals during said extended period, suspending controlled atmosphere (CA) operation and initiating a respiration rate monitoring (RRM) mode, in order to measure the concentration of the one or more constituent gases in the transport container as the produce respires, from which the respiration rate can be calculated.

    Abstract: A container refrigeration apparatus includes: a casing (12) which forms an external storage space (S1) communicating with the exterior of the container (11) and an internal storage space (S2) communicating with the interior of the container (11); a refrigerant circuit (20); an external fan (25); an internal fan (26); and an inside air control system (60) including an exhaust passage (46a) which allows a space on a blowout side of the internal fan (26) in the internal storage space (S2) to communicate with the external storage space (S1), and controls composition of the inside air in the container (11). An external end of the exhaust passage (46a) is open on a suction side of the external fan (25) in the external storage space
