The distribution of temperatures in the ground in the surroundings of a hollowed fruit store during the storage period was calculated using the results of measurements made under real operational conditions. The effect of the object on the temperature in its vicinity was shown in diagrams depicting the fields of temperature in the ground. It was found that in the middle period of the storage season the isotherm 0 °C reached the depth of 1.5 m. Thus, the range of freezing established for the ground adjacent to the cooling chamber exceeded the standard depth of ground freezing accepted for the climatic zone appropriate for the location of a hollowed cold store.
