UNDERGROUND CAVERNS, Val di Non Trentino

For this large project, we supplied the company Longofrigo S.r.L with special air coolers that were installed in the underground caverns in which the apples are stored. The caverns were initially mined for Dolomia rock, used in construction, and were later repurposed for use as natural refrigerators.
The particular type of installation, the only one of its kind in the world, ensures a highly efficient system and low energy consumption, thanks both to the natural structure of the cells and the cooling units installed in them. The air chillers are equipped with electronic fans with very high output and low electrical consumption. Their finned batteries provide vast surface area to guarantee optimum conservation of the product in terms of both temperature and humidity.
