Professional-quality Transport Refrigeration Parts solutions

Transport refrigeration is a cooling system designed to maintain specific temperatures during the transportation of temperature-sensitive goods like food, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals. It consists of a refrigeration unit mounted on vehicles such as trucks, trailers, vans, or shipping containers to ensure product quality and safety throughout the delivery journey.

• Restaurant supply chains

Transport refrigeration systems operate on similar principles to regular refrigeration, but with specific adaptations for mobile use:

1. Core Components:

• Compressor: Usually powered by the vehicle's engine or a separate diesel engine
• Condenser: Located outside the cargo space to release heat
• Evaporator: Inside the cargo area to absorb heat
• Expansion valve: Controls refrigerant flow
• Refrigerant: Typically R-134a or other modern refrigerants

2. Basic Operation:

• The compressor pressurizes the refrigerant gas, heating it up
• Hot gas moves through the condenser, where it cools and condenses into liquid
• Liquid refrigerant passes through the expansion valve, reducing pressure
• The low-pressure liquid enters the evaporator, absorbing heat from the cargo area and evaporating
• The cycle repeats

3. Special Features:

• Independent power systems to maintain cooling when the vehicle is parked
• Multiple temperature zones for different cargo types
• Advanced temperature monitoring and control systems
• Robust design to handle vibration and movement

1. Rising Fuel Consumption

• If your refrigeration unit is consuming significantly more fuel than usual, it may indicate worn or failing components
• Inefficient parts force the system to work harder, leading to increased fuel usage
• Regular monitoring of fuel consumption helps identify this issue early

2. Temperature Fluctuations

• Inconsistent temperature readings or inability to maintain set temperatures
• Frequent cycling between cooling and idle states
• Temperature variations outside the acceptable range for your cargo

3. Unusual Noises or Vibrations

• New or increased rattling, grinding, or squealing sounds
• Excessive vibration from the unit
• These often indicate worn bearings, loose components, or failing motors

4. Reduced Cooling Performance

• Longer time needed to reach desired temperature
• Inability to maintain proper cooling in hot weather
• Frost or ice buildup on evaporator coils
• Warm spots in the cargo area

5. Age-Related Warning Signs

• Parts reaching their expected service life
• Increasing frequency of repairs
• Visible wear, corrosion, or damage
• Outdated components that lack efficiency or compatibility with newer systems
