A novel idea of disturbed-air cooling had been used to achieve the trade-off between the low ventilation energy for room cooling and the short cooling time for forced-air cooling. The precooling performances in terms of cooling time and ventilation energy were experimentally compared among different air-based methods using apple and peach respectively. Disturbed-air cooling was promising for applications to precooling of fruits and vegetables because of the short cooling time and low ventilation energy.
