Abstract: A trailer refrigeration unit is provided. Aspects include a plurality of power sources, wherein the plurality power sources are selectively coupled to a power converter and at least one compressor. The power converter is coupled to at least one fan and is selectively coupled to the at least one compressor. A microcontroller circuit is included and is configured to selectively operate the trailer refrigeration unit in one of a plurality of modes based on an environmental parameter within the trailer refrigeration unit. The plurality of modes includes a first mode where the at least one compressor and at least one fan are powered by the power converter and a second mode where the at least one compressor is powered by at least one of the plurality of power sources.

Abstract: A transport refrigeration unit controllably cools a container, and includes a compressor (58) constructed and arranged compress a refrigerant and a compressor motor (60) configured to drive the compressor (58). A battery (52) of the unit is configured to at least in-part provide electric power to the compressor motor (60). A power management system of the unit includes a computer-based controller configured to generate diagnostic data from data signals received from a battery temperature sensor (122), a battery current sensor (124), and a compressor motor current sensor (126).
