20100089083 | Refrigerated Transport System - A refrigerated transport system has a container, a generator system, and a refrigeration system. The refrigeration system is electrically coupled to the generator to receive electric power and thermally coupled to the container. The refrigeration system includes an electrically powered compressor. A condenser is downstream of the compressor along a refrigerant flowpath. An expansión device is downstream of the compressor along the refrigerant flowpath. An evaporator is downstream of the expansión device along the refrigerant flowpath. A controller is coupled to the expansión device to control operation of the expansión device. The controller is configured to opérate the expansión device to control an evaporator superheat. The evaporator superheat is to be relatively high for a set temperature of a first valué associated with non-frozen perishables. The evaporator superheat is to be relatively low for a second valué of the temperature associated with frozen goods and subject to maintenance of a minimum suction superheat. | 04-15-2010 |
20110000244 | Transport Refrigeration Series Hybrid Power Supply - A series hybrid power supply system for a trailer box refrigeration system is disclosed. The trailer box refrigeration system may use either a DC or an ac motor to power the compressor. The power system alternator produces power to power refrigeration system loads. | 01-06-2011 |
20110088411 | Start-Up Control for Refrigeration System - A transport refrigeration system has an engine driving an electric generator. A compressor is powered by the generator. At least one first electric fan is positioned to drive an airflow across a heat rejection heat exchanger. At least one second electric fan is positioned to drive an airflow across a heat absorption heat exchanger. A controller is coupled to the compressor and first and second fans. The controller is configured to: start the engine; engage the generator and at least one of the first fans before the engine has reached running speed; after the engine has reached running speed, start the compressor; and after starting the compressor, start at least one of the second fans. | 04-21-2011 |
20110094297 | METHOD FOR DETERMINING AIR FILTER CONDITION - A sensor that is designed for determining ambient pressure for purposes of derating an internal combustion engine at high altitudes, is used to determine the condition of the air filter by taking pressure measurements in the intake manifold before and after the engine is started, with the difference then being an indication of the condition of the air filter. | 04-28-2011 |
20120137710 | DAMPER APPARATUS FOR TRANSPORT REFRIGERATION SYSTEM, TRANSPORT REFRIGERATION UNIT, AND METHODS FOR SAME - Embodiments of systems, apparatus, and/or methods can provide a damper assembly for transport refrigeration systems. One embodiment can include a damper assembly including a damper door configured to operate in a first position (e.g., closed), a second position (e.g., open), and at least one intermediate position. In one embodiment, a plurality of intermediate positions can be used to controllably vary a capacity of the transport refrigeration unit, or at least one component thereof. Embodiments of systems, apparatus, and/or methods can provide a damper assembly that can be accessed though an ambient portion of transport refrigeration systems or components. | 06-07-2012 |
