AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, the energy required to operate the air circulation system and move air from one end of the cabin to the other greatly reduces the overall efficiency of the refrigeration system
[0004] Furthermore, if the vehicle compartment includes multiple compartments or sections that should be cooled to different temperatures, the complexity of the refrigeration system is greatly increased
For example, excessively long piping and additional flow control valves are often required to keep different parts of the cabin at different temperatures, which increases the risk of refrigerant leaks and reduces the overall energy efficiency of the refrigeration system

Abstract

A refrigeration system configured for use with a trailer including a container having a roof, a first sidewall, and a second sidewall. The refrigeration system includes a refrigeration unit configuredto couple to the trailer and operable to condition the container. The refrigeration system also includes a duct in fluid communication between the refrigeration unit and an opening in the first sidewall. The duct is configured to direct an airflow in at least one of a first direction toward the refrigeration unit and a second direction away from the refrigeration unit.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to refrigeration systems. More specifically, the present invention relates to distributed refrigeration systems for trailers. Background technique [0002] Large trucks, such as semi-trailers, are often used to store and transport cargo, such as food, at reduced or refrigerated temperatures within the trailer. The trailers typically include a refrigeration system to keep the cargo at a reduced temperature. A common type of refrigeration system includes a refrigeration unit having a compressor driven directly by a diesel engine, a belt driven condenser and an evaporator fan. Another common type of refrigeration system includes a refrigeration unit electrically driven by an alternator coupled to an engine. [0003] In either case, a single refrigeration unit is typically located on the front wall of the trailer's bed. The refrigeration unit typically must cool the entire car, although some cars in trailers can be up to 5...
