CO2 extraction

The CO₂ concentration in your store affects the quality of your potatoes. Daily CO₂ refreshment with outside air is absolutely necessary, because too high concentrations can suffocate the potatoes, and negatively influence their frying colour. The problem is, conventional CO₂ refreshment (inlet open, system fans on) is always inefficient. Therefore, you need to make a concession between product quality and efficiency. What a waste! Fortunately, a CO₂ extraction system can help you out.

An extraction system makes clever use of the fact that CO₂ is heavier than air, and therefore always located near the floor. A piping system with a small extraction fan extracts air with a high CO₂ concentration from the bottom of your store. Only small amounts of outside air are needed to replace the extracted air. The use of a CO₂ extraction system has some great advantages:

• Reduced energy use for CO₂ refreshment (only a small fan, instead of system fans)
• CO₂ refreshment no longer affects the temperature and humidity in your store
• Less running hours of system fans leads to less dehydration, meaning: less weight loss
