There exist several kinds of transport refrigeration units Depending on whether they have their own power device, they can be separated into independent refrigeration units and non-independent refrigeration units; likewise, they can be separated into integrated refrigeration units and split refrigeration units depending on product structure. What then are the many kinds of refrigeration units appropriate for, and how one should decide?
Select "independent reefer unit" or "non-independent reefer unit" based on transportation mileage and carriage length
Different power sources define independent reefer units from non-independent reefer units. Independent reefer units derive their power output from within their own. The units can continue to run to guarantee that the commodities in the cold storage do not go bad even if the refrigerated truck is shut off or an engine failure takes place. While non-independent reefer units are more suited for short-distance travel, independent reefer systems are generally more fit for long-distance transit and have less dangers.
In addition, since independent reefer units have an additional power system compared to non-independent reefer units, they are larger and suitable for refrigerated trucks with larger compartments. GuchenThermo recommends: for refrigerated trucks with a compartment length of more than 6m, choose independent reefer units; for refrigerated trucks with a compartment length of less than 6m and a volume of 4-31m³, choose non-independent reefer units.
Selection of transport refrigeration units with different power according to temperature requirements
Different commodities have different carriage temperature requirements. Fresh aquatic goods should be transported between 2-8℃, while cabbage, spinach, and other stem and leaf vegetables should be transported at 0℃. Some particular medicines or blood products require a low temperature of -15℃. The power of the refrigeration system varies in response to changing temperature requirements. Usually, the power of the set refrigeration unit machine increases as the ambient temperature decreases.
Thus, while selecting transport refrigeration units, you should first determine the power based on your temperature requirements, and then select the appropriate reefer unit model based on that power.
Overall, the type of power source, compartment size, and particular temperature requirements for the items being transported will all affect the choice of refrigeration unit best for your transportation requirements. You may guarantee greatest performance and dependability by carefully weighing whether an independent or non-independent refrigeration unit is best fit for your vehicle size and travel distance. Furthermore, changing the power of the refrigeration system to fit the temperature requirements of your cargo will ensure that your goods stay safely maintained during transportation.
