Summary

ISO1496‐2 stipulates detailed procedures for measuring the overall U‐value of an insulated ISO container. The overall U‐value is the joint effect of all segments of the insulated container, sometimes the measured overall U‐value is higher than anticipated. This paper presents a method to measure the U‐value of individual sections of the insulated container. The container was divided up into sections using thermal insulation
boards and the thermal efficiency of each area determined using an internal isothermal measurement technique. The refrigeration machine was found to be the least thermally efficient followed by the doors.
