Abstract
Ventilation dose is the main parameter of a ventilation system in storage of potatoes. Analysis was made of main factors influencing selection of ventilation dose in two types of storage: loose and pallet box. Thermal balance, in which the produced heat is balanced by ventilation system, was calculated. Amount of ventilation dose depends on intensity of respiration of potatoes and on time of work of ventilation. The results indicate that ventilation dose for cultivars with average respiration cultivars in a loose storage should be 78 m3/t·h and 116 m3/t·h in pallet box storage. For cultivars with high intensity of respiration the ventilation dose should be about 20% higher.
