Cold storage or refrigerated warehouses are facilities where perishable foodstuffs are handled and stores under controlled temperatures with the aim of maintaining quality. Transfer of mass as well as heat transfer within the bags of onions is highly dependent over several parameters related to the operating conditions. This study is based on CFD simulations. The study attempted to bring down temperature within the best required range to keep the onions fresh for a longer period of time. For simulation 3 ton and 6 ton cold storage is selected for 2 cases. Simulation is done for checking the proper requirement of keeping onion, apple and potato for longer period. Humidity has wise impact on onion, for controlling humidity within the requirement range desiccant material (Blue silica gel) is used.
