Résumé

This paper describes progressive energy efficiency improvements made to refrigeration systems and components used in the container refrigeration application. A systems approach and implementation of new component designs for compressors, heat exchangers, and air moving systems have allowed cooling and heating to be accomplished while reducing energy consumption. Compressor improvements include enhancements to reciprocating piston designs and more recently, adoption of scroll compressor technologies. Heat exchangers include heat transfer surfaces with highly efficient, enhanced profiles to maximize heat transfer. Air management systems include improved fan geometries and ducting designs. In addition, current components are now leveraging new technologies in materials and designs to improve sustainability. The use of natural refrigerant (CO2) and low GWP foams as well as the elimination of hazardous materials are examples of recent steps being taken to further diminish container refrigeration’s environmental impact.
