Hot rooms used in the drying of jellies and gums are maintained at 120 to 150 F. A purge system using 100 percent outside air, bypassing the heating coil, is incorporated to produce rapid cooling of both the product and the room.
Cold rooms for oooling marshmallows and cast creams are maintained at 75 to 80 F with a relative hu midity of 45 to 50 percent. Uniform air distribution is *gntiA.I-
Standard starch drying equipment is employed. Filtration of air is required.

tribution. In regions where end rot is prevalent, it may be necessary to store grapefruit at temperatures of 32 to 34 F
for a period not exceeding six weeks.
Lemon and grapefruit storage requires an air conditioning system to (1) maintain a constant temperature, (2) maintain a high relative humidity, (3) ventilate to maintain 0.1% CO* content, (4) obtain uniform air distribution, and (5) provide air washing or air filtration.
.1^*1 calculations include (1) transmission losses, (2) internal load-fruit oooling and respiration, oooling fruit boxes, electric load, and people, and (3) outside air load--72 cfm per carlot.

Approximately 10 percent of.the cooling load is considered as latent heat load.
In a conventional system the air required is one cfm per storage box or 650 cfm per carload, resulting in a small temperature rise in the supply air making possible the required high humidities.
In a combination system the air required is one cfm per sq ft of floorarea or 300 cfm per carlot with the
addition of auxiliary humidifying nozxles to maintain the required high humidities.

Installation of metal ducts is required. Ductwork made of insulation board is sometimes preferred.

Yeast propagated at 150 to 154 F.
Mnnh heated to 165 F and then cooled to 80 F, then pitched with yeast and fermented at maximum tem perature of 85 F.
Cooling for various stilling processes normally accomplished by use of river or well water depending on temperatures and availability.
Low humidity and dust control important where grains are ground.
Viscous filters preferred as mold spores and bacteria are trapped in the viscous film, preventing propaga tion.

Some operations are stabilised against possibility of mold growth. Precise control of temperature and humidity is required for mechanical oxidising of linseed oil. The rate of flow and the temperature of cooling water in the jacket surrounding the tank must be controlled.
Air filtration is recommended for the storing process.
