What are the key components of Container City™ refrigerated containers?

Flooring:

Refrigerated containers are primarily composed of two essential parts: the flooring and the refrigeration unit.

The flooring plays a crucial role in the functionality and reliability of a refrigerated container. There are two common types of flooring used in refrigerated trailers:

  1. Flat Flooring for Pallets:
    Flat flooring is suitable for walk-in storage with shelves, commonly found in restaurants or grocery stores. It is ideal for creating multiple temperature zones using movable divider walls. These floors are easy to clean and do not trap debris or snag pallets.
  2. Reefer Duct Flooring (Corrugated T Floors):
    Reefer duct floors, typically made of aluminum, consist of extruded “T” planks that facilitate air circulation for even temperature distribution. Designed for forklift use, these floors guide air to the refrigeration unit through raised planks.

Refrigeration Units:

These components have specific functions such as managing temperature, controlling ventilation, expelling harmful gases, removing excess moisture, and extracting heat. Additionally, refrigerated containers may incorporate hot gas heat or electrical heating elements for interior warming.
 
The refrigeration unit’s components play vital roles in maintaining the desired temperature and ensuring the quality of the stored goods. Additionally, features like voltage transformers and generator sets are essential for adapting to different power supplies and providing backup power in case of electricity outages.

The refrigeration unit comprises several components that work in unison to regulate the container’s temperature. These components include:

  1. Compressor
  2. Controller
  3. Evaporator Fans
  4. Fresh Air Vents
  5. Unit Evaporator
  6. Condenser Sections
