The PRECOOL ADVISOR software program was developed to provide users with basic information concerning likely investment costs, variable operating expenses, cost-volume relationships, annual cash flow statements, and total cost per unit of product prechilled for 4 popular fruit and vegetable precooling technologies. The software is described and recommended for medium to moderate volume operations where growers might be unsure if product volume is large enough to justify investment in a hydrocooler or too large for package icing and forced air methods of precooling.
