Cold Storage Systems: Present and Prospects for Applications (View from the Middle East Region)

The purpose of this article is to review the existing types of cold storage systems (CSS) based on known technologies and recommendations for their improvement. The article combines research, thermodynamic analysis, economic aspects and comparison of the quality of known CSS designs. The article is of interest to government officials, manufacturers, engineers, inventors and developers to determine the advantages and disadvantages of existing CSS. The reasons hindering the use of CSS in Israel are given. Taking into account the modern foreign experience in the development of designs for cold energy reservoirs and the achievements of the technology of pumpable ice sludge (PIS), a CSS is proposed, a program has been developed and a feasibility study of its work has been carried out.
