Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of carbon dioxide removal, and more specifically to a gas removal and atmosphere-controlled fresh-keeping warehouse. Background Art

[0002] The atmosphere-controlled fresh-keeping warehouse is the most commonly used cold storage for storing fruits and vegetables. In the atmosphere-controlled fresh-keeping warehouse, the oxygen content is reduced to 1% to 10%, and the carbon dioxide content is increased to 1% to 10%. Such a storage environment can maintain the freshness of fruits and vegetables when they are picked, reduce losses, and have a long shelf life without pollution. Because fresh fruits and vegetables still undergo vigorous respiration and evaporation after being picked, they absorb oxygen from the air, decompose and consume their own nutrients, and produce carbon dioxide, water and heat. Respiration consumes the nutrients of fruits and vegetables after they are picked, so the key to extending the storage period of fruits and vegetables is to reduce the respiration rate. To a certain extent, evaporation is reduced and microbial growth is prevented; appropriately high concentrations of carbon dioxide can slow down respiration, and have the effect of delaying the start of respiratory climacteric fruits and vegetables, thereby delaying the ripening and aging of fruits and vegetables.

[0003] Therefore, the concentration and content of carbon dioxide in the controlled atmosphere fresh-keeping warehouse are controlled, and the carbon dioxide removal machine is a common equipment to achieve this function. The common carbon dioxide removal machine is installed in the controlled atmosphere fresh-keeping warehouse to control the carbon dioxide concentration in the controlled atmosphere fresh-keeping warehouse; however, this installation method greatly reduces the internal space. The existing patent is a carbon dioxide removal machine for the controlled atmosphere fresh-keeping warehouse. The patent authorization number CN217287829U is practical in design and can achieve the maximum utilization space of the controlled atmosphere fresh-keeping warehouse. The three-sided connection design adopted can fully absorb carbon dioxide gas and is suitable for industry promotion.

[0004] However, the mid-flow storage air duct of patent authorization number CN217287829U also has a liquid extension section, which is located on one side of the combined pipe section and extends into the collection solution cavity. In actual use, this design ensures that the carbon dioxide gas coming out of the controlled atmosphere fresh-keeping storage is fully absorbed by the collection solution cavity. Since the collection solution needs to be replaced after saturation, the carbon dioxide cannot be continuously removed during the replacement process. Therefore, we propose a gas removal controlled atmosphere fresh-keeping storage to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content
