Design of a Temperature Compensator for Cool Containers in the Maritime Transport of Potato

Abstract

A significant part of the production of potatoes is exported to the European Union and the United States. The quality is fundamental for the maintenance and the expansion from this market to others. It also constitutes a trouble at the moment of finalizing business agreements with foreign clients or with theirs intermediaries. During the maritime transport there is a partial deterioration and in some cases total deterioration of the quality, it happens fundamentally because of the wrong way of refrigeration of our Peruvian treasure. This project is about the design of the compensating which could establish an ideal temperature for the conservation of its quality during the transport implemented in a FPGA Virtex II PRO. And the implementation of the filter of Kalman to estimate the temperature.
