Summary

IN THE NETHERLANDS MEASUREMENTS HAVE BEEN CARRIED OUT ON THREE ROAD VEHICLES: ONE CONVENTIONAL AND TWO THIN-WALLED VEHICLES. FRANCE AND ITALY ORGANIZED A COMBINED EXPERIMENT WITH THREE CONTAINERS. THIN-WALLED VEHICLES APPEARED TO HAVE A TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE OF 12 K BETWEEN AIR INLET TEMPERATURE AND THE WARMEST PRODUCT TEMPERATURE. CONVENTIONAL VEHICLES HAD A TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE OF ABOUT 6 K. WITH SPECIAL FEATURES FOR AIR GUIDANCE THE TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE IN THIN-WALLED VEHICLES COULD BE MAINTAINED WITHIN ABOUT 5 K. ALL PRODUCT TEMPERATURES CAN BE KEPT THEN BELOW 255 K (-18 DEG C), IF THE AIR INLET TEMPERATURE DOES NOT EXCEED 250 OR 249 K (-23 OR -24 DEG C).
