THE CARGO SPACE CLIMATE IN REFRIGERATED RAIL CARS AND POSSIBILITIES OF REDUCING PRODUCT DEHYDRATION LOSSES.

Author(s) : METZ S.

Summary

HAULAGE DISTANCES HAVE INCREASED TO SUCH AN EXTENT THAT TRANSPORT TIME MAY REACH 3 TO 4 WEEKS. WHILE TEMPERATURES CAN BE MAINTAINED, IT IS DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN RELATIVE HUMIDITY IN ORDER TO PREVENT THE DEHYDRATION OF PRODUCTS, ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE IN A PERMEABLE PACKAGING. THE A. CARRIED OUT VARIOUS TESTS IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN HUMIDITY IN THE CARGO. HE PRESENTS RECOMMENDATIONS FOR IMPROVING INSULATION TIGHTNESS AND FOR OBTAINING A SUITABLE AIR DISTRIBUTION. HE ALSO STUDIES THE FUTURE TRENDS OF JACKETED SYSTEMS AND COLD AIR MACHINES.
