Reefer Containers
Refrigerated containers are used on Board ships, trucks, trains, airplanes. Perishable goods gathered in the fields or orchards are stored immediately in a refrigerated container Some containers may be as large as 8' X 8' X 20'. On long-distance transportation, containers may require cooling mechanism. Evaporator and condensing unit can be used.
Condensing units can be controlled by either with an electric motor or internal combustion engine. The distances are short, cold plate with eutectic solution is used. Cm. Fig. 18-34. Eutectic solution of the frozen evaporator, which is part of the cold plate. Do not operate the condensing unit during the short trip. Eutectic solution provides a significant cooling in a short time the cargo is EN route.
Containers on Board ships can be cooled by being connected to shipboard refrigeration system. Refrigeration mechanism, using an electric motor and condensing unit can be connected to the outlet. Then he will be driven by power aboard the ship. In such cases, condensing unit, as a rule, liquid-cooled. In the warehouse or in the dock storage, local power supply can be used for container condensing units.
