  • Publication number: 20220185064
    Abstract: A quality determination apparatus includes a state detector and a main processing unit. The state detector detects a state index. The state index is an index indicating a state of a target article contained in a storage space where an internal environment is controlled. The main processing unit performs a determination operation. The determination operation is an operation of determining whether a sign condition indicating a sign of degradation of the target article is met based on the state index detected by the state detector.

  • Publication number: 20220125064
    Abstract: An internal air adjustment device supplies low-oxygen-concentration air to a storage, and maintains the oxygen concentration of internal air in a target oxygen concentration range that is lower than a reference concentration. The internal air adjustment device performs an oxygen-concentration restoration operation. The oxygen-concentration restoration operation is an operation of increasing the oxygen concentration of the internal air to the reference concentration from the target oxygen concentration range. In the oxygen-concentration restoration operation, a controller of the internal air adjustment device regulates the flow rate of external air that is supplied into the interior of the storage.

  • Publication number: 20220022476
    Abstract: An internal air adjustment device (30) includes an internal-side passage (70) and an internal-side treatment unit (152). The internal-side separator (61) in the internal-side passage (70) separates return air from internal air. The composition of the return air differs from the composition of the internal air. The internal-side passage (70) supplies the return air into a storage (1). The internal-side treatment unit (152) decomposes ethylene in air that flows in the internal-side passage (70). Therefore, the concentration of ethylene of the return air is lower than the concentration of ethylene of the internal air.
