The low temperature storage method has been used to increase the value of agricultural products by reducing quality deterioration and controlling respiration rate. The respiration rate of agricultural products depends on several factors such as temperature, moisture, gas composition and microbe inside the storage room. Among that temperature is the most important factor, which affects respiration rate and causes severe damage. The results obtained from these experiments are that electric consumption is decreased as setting temperature is decreasing and temperature deviation is increasing. In the ventilation experiment, the case ventilated four times a day(every six hours a day) with ten minutes operation each time, was inspected require as much electric consumption as non-ventilation case.
