Application of AIM heat pump technology in fruit heat treatment and its advantages
The application of heat treatment technology in agriculture is mainly to extend the shelf life of fruits and reduce the losses caused by pests and pathogens. Conventional heat treatment methods, such as methane bromide fumigation, although highly effective, present potential risks to the environment and human health. In recent years, AIM heat pump technology, as a new heat treatment method, has gradually attracted attention, and has shown significant advantages in fruit heat treatment and pest control.
Introduction to the AIM heat pump technology
AIM heat pump technology is a kind of fruit heating treatment technology using the principle of refrigeration. Through efficient energy conversion and temperature control, AIM heat pump can achieve insects and sterilization without damaging the quality of fruit. Compared with traditional heat treatment methods, AIM heat pump technology has higher energy efficiency ratio and lower environmental impact.
Comparison of AIM heat pump technology with methane bromide fumigation
1. Environmental impact
Methane bromide fumigation: methane bromide is a powerful fumigant, but it damages the ozone layer and is harmful to human body, so its use is subject to strict international supervision and restrictions.
AIM heat pump technology: AIM heat pump technology does not involve the use of any chemical substances, which is environmentally friendly and will not produce harmful by-products.
2. Treatment effect
Methane bromide fumigation: Although the pest control effect is significant, it may cause some damage to the internal tissue of the fruit.
AIM heat pump technology: it can effectively kill pests and pathogens, while maintaining the freshness and nutritional value of fruit.
3. Economy
Methane bromide fumigation: methane bromide needs to be purchased and stored, and the treated waste needs special treatment at a high cost.
AIM heat pump technology: Although the initial investment is high, the operation cost is low, and no additional waste treatment cost is required.
Comparison of the AIM heat pump technology with other heat treatment methods
1. Energy efficiency
Other heat treatment methods: such as hot water treatment, steam treatment, etc., although these methods can also kill insects, but the energy efficiency is low, and the energy consumption is greater.
AIM heat pump technology: through efficient heat energy conversion, can greatly reduce energy consumption, improve energy efficiency.
2. Convenience of operation
Other heat treatment methods: the operation process is complex and requires professional monitoring and operation.
AIM heat pump technology: high degree of automation, simple operation, reduce the labor cost. 3. Safety
Other heat treatment methods: such as the use of flame or high temperature steam, there are certain safety risks.
AIM heat pump technology: no use of open flame or high temperature steam, higher safety.
Conclusion
AIM heat pump technology has significant advantages in fruit heat treatment. It is not only environmentally friendly, but also effectively maintains the quality and nutritional value of the fruit. Compared to conventional methane bromide fumigation and other heat treatment methods, the AIM heat pump technology performs well in terms of energy efficiency, ease of operation, and safety. With the continuous progress of technology and the reduction of cost, AIM heat pump technology is expected to become the mainstream method of fruit heat treatment and pest control.
