CA+ High respiring commodities are highly active in altering the atmosphere inside the container. Low respiring commodities, on the other hand, effect little influence and need some assistance to attain the desired low O2 set points. There are also commodities that require elevated CO2 for botrytis control, which cannot be attained by cargo respiration alone. Star Cool CA+ has been developed to handle such variations in atmosphere control with a combination of a manual flushing process and control logic. How Star Cool CA+ works The Star Cool CA reefer is loaded with cargo and the door curtain is installed prior to closing the doors. The desired atmosphere and temperature settings are entered and flushing mode can be selected. Nitrogen (and Carbon Dioxide if required) are injected using either a flushing damper or CA injection ports. The actual O2 and CO2 levels inside the container can be monitored on the user panel display and adjusted accordingly. Once the desired atmosphere is attained the control logic will allow a balancing phase prior to taking over full control of O2 and CO2.
