Study on the optimum air current distribution of a refrigerated container using a two-dimensional numerical simulation model.

Author(s) : KAMETANI S., TAMURA K., TAKANO R.

Summary

In order to consider the optimum air current distribution of a refrigerated container, the numerical simulation, which used the k-e two-equation turbulent flow model, was performed. It considers the air current distribution in the condition of empty supposing a precooling before loading. From a numerical analysis method by computers and the experiment, the authors investigate the basic thermal characteristics of a refrigerated container such as optimisation of air current distribution. As a result, the following became clear after calculation. 1) Distribution of air current temperature and velocity about refrigerated container in an empty condition. 2) Availability of simulation method and application of 'wall function'. 3) Necessity to consider the radiation flux in this calculation. There are extremely few examples that analysed quantitatively the air current distribution of a refrigerated container.
