Abstract:
A transport refrigeration system includes a diesel engine equipped with a combustion air pressurization device, such as a turbo-charger or a supercharger. The diesel engine powers at least one component associated with the transport refrigeration system, such as a refrigeration compressor or an air-moving device.
Abstract:
A transport refrigeration system includes a transport refrigeration unit having a refrigerant circuit through which a refrigerant is circulated in heat exchange relationship with air drawn from a cargo box, a fuel-fired engine for powering the refrigeration unit and having an exhaust system through which exhaust gases generated by the engine are discharged and an engine coolant circuit, an engine exhaust gases to engine coolant heat exchanger, and an engine coolant circuit to refrigeration unit heat exchanger.

Abstract:
A transport refrigeration system (100) includes an engine (102), a primary power source (104) driven by the engine (102) and a secondary power source (106) driven by a vehicle component (108) upon vehicle braking. An energy storage unit (110) stores energy from the secondary power source (106). A power control unit (112) is coupled to the primary power source (104) and the energy storage unit (110). A controller (114) is coupled to the power control unit (112) and a refrigeration component (116, 118) is coupled to the power control unit (112). The controller (114) operates the power control unit (112) to distribute power to the refrigeration component (116, 118).
Abstract:
A refrigeration system having a refrigeration unit (22) for providing temperature conditioned air to a temperature controlled space, an engine (26) and an electric generation device (24) driven by the engine, is provided with a battery system (28) for supplying electric power. A method of operating the transport refrigeration includes, during a high cooling demand mode, operating the engine (26) to drive the electric generation device (24) for supplying electric power and simultaneously employing the battery system (28) for supplying electric power to jointly power the plurality of power demand loads (50, 42, 46, 48) of the refrigerant unit.
