FUTURE TRENDS IN CRYOGENIC REFRIGERATION OF TRANSPORT VEHICLES.

Author(s) : TYREE L.

Summary

WITH A CLOSED CYCLE OPERATING ON OFF-PEAK ELECTRIC RATES (THE SECO2 SYSTEM TM), FROZEN LOADS CAN BE SUBCOOLED TO 233 K (-40 DEG C) PRIOR TO TRANSPORT AT MUCH LESS COST THAN WITH CONVENTIONAL AMMONIA OR HALOCARBON CLOSED CYCLES. IN ADDITION TO THE OPEN CYCLE APPLICATIONS, NOVEL CLOSED (RE-CYCLED) SYSTEMS ARE AVAILABLE. TRUCKS ARE PROPOSED WITH A TRIPLE POINT SYSTEM WHICH CAN UTILIZE A CLOSED CYCLE CO2 SYSTEM TO REFRIGERATE AT NIGHT AND ALSO CHANGE LIQUID TO SOLID CO2 IN THE TANK THAT WILL SUPPLY REFRIGERATION. IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY, THE SYSTEM OPERATES ON OPEN CYCLE INJECTING THE CO2 INTO THE TRUCK.
