Numerical and experimental study of air flow in a refrigerated vehicle loaded with pallets.

Etude numérique et expérimentale des écoulements d'air dans un véhicule frigorifique chargé de palettes.

Author(s) : MOUREH J., BONNAL J. M., MENIA N., et al.

Summary

The aim of this study is to characterise air flow and temperature levels inside a refrigerated vehicle loaded with pallets. The experimental part is performed on a reduced-scale model of a semi trailer loaded with pallets. The numerical modelling is developed using Fluent Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software in order to predict air flow velocities and temperature of air inside the loading. The model shows qualitatively agreement with experimental results. It can be used to optimise air distribution system into refrigerated vehicle in order to reduce temperature dispersion into the loading.
