Direct and indirect cooling refrigeration systems of variable cooling capacity in application to the cold storage of the Chinese cabbage were analysed in the paper. This refrigeration unit has been designed to meet vegetables storage technical and technological requirements. Investigations conducted on this system covers both numerical and experimental studies. Paper presents the technical assessment of the tested designs of the applied refrigeration units in terms of air and products temperatures during storage test. The differences in relative humidity in tested chambers during test were also presented. Experimental investigations are supported by numerical simulations showing the air temperature distribution.
