| Popis: | Much of the post-harvest loss of agricultural produce in developing countries is due to lack of proper storage facilities. Agricultural produce such as peppers, tomatoes and fruits are highly perishable in nature; thus, maintaining the optimal air conditions inside the storage cabinet helps extending their shelf lives. The datasets contained in this paper are performance test carried out on agricultural produce cooling storage system under tropical conditions for various cooling pads (jute fibre) thickness and under no load and load conditions. The parameters recorded under these conditions include wet and dry bulb temperatures, relative humidity of the surroundings, relative humidity and temperature within the cooling chamber taken consecutively for 4 days with different pad thickness and for 5 days and 8days under no load and load conditions, respectively. Results obtained show that pad thickness of 80 mm has the highest cooling efficiency of 84.7% and temperature within the cooling chamber was found dropped to 25 °C and average relative humidity of cooling chamber increased to 82.4% as compared to 64.8% for ambient condition.
