This type of container is capable
of maintaining the temperature of frozen, chilled or warm cargo. A
refrigeration unit is built onto the nose of the container and power
is provided by a motor generator (when container is on wheels), by
terminal (when grounded in a yard) or by the ship (when laden on
board).
Air, cold or warm, is supplied to the inside of a container via an air
duct system that enters the container from the bottom. Air circulates
under, over and through the load before it returns to the
refrigeration unit. This circulation is repeated continuously when the
unit is in operation.
In the nose of each refrigeration unit are adjustable ventilation
holes. At specific settings, these vents allow fresh air exchanges to
avoid a build up of carbon dioxide inside the container. All fresh
fruits and vegetables are living products and as a result give off
heat and carbon dioxide. Vents allow this warm toxic air to be
expelled from the container in order to avoid spoilage.
The most advanced reefer containers are computerized enabling highly
precise temperature control. Transportation has become easier due to
this type of precise control that ensures preserving the quality of
foods such as meat, fish, eggs, vegetables and fruits, as well as
films, plants and pharmaceuticals. |
