Ashrae chapter 14 of Refrigeration Book. Please make sure to abide also to National Code for food preservation and conservation for your country.

mechman,
Humidity is the most important,,,if you design without high% you will dehydrate the product.

First read the applicable sections for food storage in the ASHRAE manuals. Next, hire a consultant that is versed in cold storage design.

The consultant will need to know what is your product, inlet temperature, loading rate and storage time. From there he can design the appropiate system. This is not something you want to do for the first time.
