Diseño de una cámara frigorífica a ser montada en los camiones de la Cooperativa de Transporte de Cárnicos El Camal” de la ciudad de Riobamba.

Abstract

During supply of meat It is necessary ensure safety, It achieved by maintaining strict temperature control during all stages that make up the cold chain, for which was designed a cold room which meets the requirements established by FAO and AGROCALIDAD. For the design of the cooling chamber it took into consideration the recurring failures present in the boxcars of Cooperative of meat transportation ¨EL CAMAL¨ from Riobamba city, so the most favorable options for both design and selection of materials was obtained, which conform, to this logistics operation. The cattle distribution within the chamber, It generated an array of 5 load beams arranged in perpendicular between them and axis of vehicle equidistantly with a capacity of 4 channels 160 kg, this because being a light cooperative of transportation, its maximum load is 3500 kg, to keep the temperature of the meat, was calculated the thermal load to be dissipated during time transport that it last the transport to the different outlets, maintaining a temperature of 7 °C, it selected a team Thermo King V-200, which uses R134a as refrigerant, and has a capacity 5930 BTU/h. The Project contributes to the technological development of transport units and the partners and food security in our country, it is recommended not to exceed the capacity of the cold room or the suspension beams.
