Working principle of refrigerator shipping containers
A reefer is a sealed transportation module, equipped with a special system of automatic unit for sustaining necessary temperature regime. A special container is used for transporting perishable goods, cosmetics, medications and chemicals in defined climate conditions. A refrigeration unit has a system to regulate all the parameters. Modules have an integrated connector to power network of a marine, railway and automobile vehicle. Compact construction meets all the industry standards and has a i-block to determine possible malfunctions of the equipment.
Characteristics of a refrigerator container
A reefer is made of steel skeleton sheathed with aluminium and stainless steel sheets. Light panels of polyurethane foam are used for thermal insulation of a box. Inner walls have a textured surface to enable air circulation when a load is packed tightly. Floor is strengthened with a profile to enable containers movement by a universal automatic loader.
Steel insulated walls have a safe locking system that promotes total tightness of a camera and protects a container from illegal entry. 20-foot refrigerator containers with 29,1 m³ cooling camera volume are used for transporting small portions of products. 40-foot reefers with 61,3 m³ volume can fit up to 30 tones of goods.
Main advantages of reefers are:
- safety of a load in every condition,
- reliable and autonomous work of the system,
- possibility to set temperature regimes from - 25 to + 25 °C,
- setting freeze and defrost cycles,
- adjustment of humidity levels
- continuous sustenance of a given temperature in case of emergency power off.
The equipment ensures constant circulation and equal allocation of air flows inside container. An operator sets a needed regime and can monitor cargo condition with the help of sensors. Technology is designed for long and continuous work in the economy mode. E-system uses sound notification to claim a malfunction.
