A heat and mass transfer numerical model is developed to describe the refrigeration process between the air and agricultural products packed in bins piled on a pallet. The model includes the local overall average heat transfer coefficients and fitted wall with experimental results. A sensivity parameter study suggests that the air temperature is one of the factors which allows strong variation of the cooling kinetics. The model profiles the local heterogeneity of cooling in terms of a "coldest point" and a "hottest point" inside the bins for the same air flow conditions. This study permits the determination of the best location of sensors in order to prevent the over-treatment of products. Finally this work shows that the use of the model c...
