Ferced Air 
This insulated cooler is 11 
feet 2 inches high, 18 feet 11 
inches long, and 10 feet wide. 
It will cool about 250 bushels 
of fruit at one time. 
Four fans circulate the air 
from the ice bunker through 
the lugs in the cooling tunnel. 
Total delivery of the four fans 
should be 6,500 cubic feet of 
air per minute at %4-inch static 
pressure. 
Six plywood fruit cars, each 
holding two stacks of lugs, are 
moved into the cooling tunnel 
on fixed roller skate wheels. 
The lugs may be stacked ap- 
proximately 7 feet high. 
Complete working drawings may be obtained through 
your county agent or from the Extension agricultural 
engineer at most State agricultural colleges. There is 
usually a small charge.
