We would like to introduce ourselves as a Cold Storage owner from India. We own and operate a cold storage unit exclusively for the storage of potatoes in the heart of India, located at the city of Indore in State of Madhya Pradesh.Our cold storage was the pioneer in India for using “sprout inhibitors” for the storage of "process grade potatoes" in India six years ago. Since then we have learnt a lot in the storage technology and as a result of which process grade potatoes have now started to be commercially stored in most of the cold storages across India.As we started to learn about storage techniques and norms of proper storage we started realizing that “RELATIVE HUMIDITY” plays a very important and crucial role in the quality of the stored potatoes. To control the humidity in the storage we tried different technology and machines but every method ended up in condensation of water droplets on the potatoes and the bags which resulted in spoilage and fungal related diseases. To counter the water condensation on the potatoes we were on a look out for a machine or a technology which could prevent this and also provide support to the refrigeration system.While looking out for this machine we came across an article on the internet published by the U.S. Government which highlighted the benefits of “ULTRASONIC HUMIDIFICATION”. According to this article by this technology it is possible to maintain very high levels of humidity ( up to 98%) with “zero” condensation. Also the energy required to generate this moisture is just 25% a compared to conventional humidifiers. As an additional benefit this technology does not put any “load” on the refrigeration like conventional humidifiers and on the contrary this technology aides the refrigeration by helping in bringing the temperature down without any condensation.We have used this technology for almost six months continuously whereby we have been able to maintain very high humidity levels (> 95%) without condensation and it has also brought our electrical consumption down and has yielded excellent results in the stored potatoes.
