Abstract This review was initiated to realise the state-of-the art in optimising the ventilation and structural requirements of corrugated packaging carton design. Researchers have been using computational methods: computational fluid dynamics, particularly, the finite volume method, to analyse the airflow and heat transfer performances, and computational structural dynamics, particularly, the finite element method, to analyse the loss of compression strength due to vent-holes. Models are validated using actual testing: wind tunnel based forced air cooling system to study the produce cooling kinetics and box compression test machine for the package industry to study the structural dynamics. Studies on the rate and uniformity of produce cooling and the loss of structural strength in corrugated cartons as a function of size, shape, and location of vent-holes are reviewed. Based on experimental data, results show that the loss in strength can range between 10–40 % on addition of vent and hand holes on cartons, and reasonable increase in cooling rates is only achieved with increase in carton face ventilation area only up to 7–8 %. With regards to internal packaging components, increasing awareness of consumers to the environmental degradation of especially disposable plastic packaging means packers and suppliers must devise means to cut back and eventually eliminate plastic packaging from fruit and vegetables.

鲜果通风流通包装设计与性能评价进展：综述

摘要 本次审查旨在实现优化瓦楞包装纸箱设计的通风和结构要求的最新技术。研究人员一直在使用计算方法：计算流体动力学，特别是有限体积法，来分析气流和传热性能，以及计算结构动力学，特别是有限元方法，来分析由于通风口引起的压缩强度损失。孔。模型通过实际测试进行验证：基于风洞的强制空气冷却系统研究产品冷却动力学和包装行业的箱体压缩试验机研究结构动力学。研究产品冷却的速度和均匀性以及瓦楞纸箱的结构强度损失与尺寸、形状、并检查通风孔的位置。根据实验数据，结果表明，在纸箱上增加通风孔和手孔后，强度损失可以在 10-40% 之间，并且只有在纸箱表面通风面积增加到 7-7-7 时才能实现冷却速度的合理提高。 8%。关于内部包装组件，消费者对环境退化的认识不断提高，尤其是一次性塑料包装意味着包装商和供应商必须想办法减少并最终消除水果和蔬菜的塑料包装。只有将纸箱表面通风面积增加 7-8% 才能实现冷却速度的合理增加。关于内部包装组件，消费者对环境退化的认识不断提高，尤其是一次性塑料包装意味着包装商和供应商必须想办法减少并最终消除水果和蔬菜的塑料包装。只有将纸箱表面通风面积增加 7-8% 才能实现冷却速度的合理增加。关于内部包装组件，消费者对环境退化的认识不断提高，尤其是一次性塑料包装意味着包装商和供应商必须想办法减少并最终消除水果和蔬菜的塑料包装。
