Refrigeration equipment pull down tests: a tool for energy saving.

Number: pap. n. 911

Author(s) : DEVIN E., STUMPF A., CAVALIER G.

Summary

Some four million transport refrigeration units are in service worldwide. Their global energy consumption is higher than 8 million Tep per year and their global CO2 emission is over 25 million tons per year. The energy performance of these units depends on their design and age. Older units, and those that are not properly maintained, are likely to be less efficient. Thousands of pull down tests, described in the international agreement for the transport of perishable food (ATP), are carried out yearly by manufacturers and technical centers. These tests provide a large source of information. This paper presents method for data analysis. The data provided by manufacturers for new equipment is also considered. This method allows us to use existing practical tests results as a tool to manage energy savings in refrigerated transport.
