Summary

Fuel burn, or energy consumption, impacts the environment as well as the profitability of the European road transport refrigeration sector.
Years over year’s Multi-temperature application have growth significantly to cope with city distribution and logistics constraints.
The official ATP test protocol measures the fuel burn of the refrigeration unit in steady state conditions, which are considered very close to full load data. But full load test data appears only when the refrigeration unit is pulling down the inside air temperature of the trailer or box.
The temperature recorded in actual usage demonstrates that a large portion of the time, the transport refrigeration system in multi-temperature operates in partial load to compensate only for the thermal losses of the trailer body.
This has been already officially integrated through the ATP (CEN 16440-1 amendment), but only for Single Temperature application. Intent is to have the same approach for multi-temperature application.
