Nitrogen for transport refrigeration systems

Today the refrigerated transport sector above all uses a diesel-fuelled refrigeration units. Several refrigeration companies such as Casino, Safeway, Woolworth, Nisa, ASDA are proactively trying to reduce their carbon footprints.

natureFridge’s nitrogen refrigeration system for trucks and trailers eliminates the need to use diesel and HFC refrigerants, and enables customers to both reduce their carbon footprint and their operational costs. The system reduces fuel and maintenance costs, has no moving parts and its lifespan is said to be practically unlimited.

In addition, it is silent and can operate at night within city limits or other areas where restrictions on noise pollution apply. natureFridge’s operating costs are said to be 20 to 40% lower than the costs of comparable diesel electric mechanical refrigeration systems.

The fuel and maintenance costs are respectively USD/h 2.78 and USD/h 5.06 for a mechanical refrigeration system and a natureFridge system used by NISA-DHL UK and installed on a trailer with two compartments and longitudinal bulkhead configuration that operates 16 hours per day, consumes 23.5 litres of liquid nitrogen per hour in summer (annual average consumption is lower).
