Definitions

  • Disclosed is a method of and a system for controlling temperature within a refrigerated transport container, or other refrigerated storage spaces.
  • Temperature in a refrigerated transport container is typically controlled within a temperature range adjacent to a setpoint or target temperature (forth referred to as setpoint temperature or setpoint).
  • the refrigerated transport container may for example comprise an insulated enclosure divided in a cooling space and a transport volume.
  • the transport volume is loaded with perishable produce such as meat, vegetables and fruit, etc.
  • the setpoint temperature is then typically chosen to reduce quality degradation of the perishable produce.
  • the cooling space may e.g. be separated from the transport volume by a panel equipped with one or more openings to allow a return air flow from the transport volume into the cooling space and a supply air temperature flow from the cooling space into the transport volume.
  • the air flow through the cooling space typically passes at least a return air temperature sensor, a device for reducing the temperature of the passing air, e.g. a cooling unit or system, and a supply air temperature sensor.
  • the return air temperature sensor typically measures the temperature of air returning from the transport volume while the supply air temperature sensor measures the temperature of air supplied to the transport volume.
  • Temperature control protocols may selectively control a cooling unit coupled to the refrigerated transport container in order to maintain the setpoint temperature inside the refrigerated transport container.
  • vapour compression refrigeration cycle comprises at least a compressor, a condenser, an expansion device, an evaporator and a capacity regulating device.
  • the compressor sucks refrigerant vapour from the evaporator and compresses the refrigerant vapour which subsequently flows to the condenser at high pressure.
  • the condenser ejects its heat to a medium outside the refrigerated transport container while condensing the refrigerant vapour.
  • the liquefied refrigerant then flows to the expansion device in which a refrigerant pressure drops.
  • the low pressure refrigerant then flows to the evaporator where the refrigerant evaporates while extracting the required heat from the refrigerated transport container.
  • Temperatures in the transport volume are typically unmeasured.
  • measured supply air temperature may normally be a fairly accurate representative of a coldest temperature in the transport volume.
  • measured return air temperature may usually be a reasonable representative of average temperature in the transport volume.
  • a warmest temperature in the transport volume is usually a little higher than return air temperature, but remains unknown and e.g. depends on the way the cargo is stowed inside the container.
  • chilled commodities typically shipped at setpoints above -10 °C, both too high and too low produce temperatures are undesirable.
  • the adverse effect of too high above setpoint is fairly obvious; that is the whole reason why refrigeration is applied.
  • chilled commodities may actually suffer as well.
  • Some chilled commodities are susceptible to chilling injury, e.g. like bananas turning grey in home fridges.
  • the warmest temperature converges a lot slower to a temperature range adjacent to a setpoint temperature than return air temperature.
  • the temperature control ensures that a larger portion of the transport volume temperatures resides in a desired temperature range adjacent to a setpoint temperature during a larger part of the transport time.
  • a first aspect relates to a method of controlling temperature within a refrigerated transport container, the refrigerated transport container comprising at least a transport volume, a control unit, and a cooling space, one or more evaporator fans providing an air flow through the cooling space, where air passing through the cooling space passes at least a return air temperature sensor, a cooling unit, and a supply air temperature sensor, wherein the method comprises:
  • Average produce temperature within the refrigerated transport volume typically lies somewhere in-between the supply air temperature and a few degrees above the return air temperature due to temperature gradients within the transport volume.
  • An advantage of controlling unmeasured temperatures in the transport volume, instead of just supply or return air temperature, within a temperature range adjacent to a setpoint or target temperature (Tset), is that this improves control over temperatures of the loaded perishable produce.
  • Controlling temperatures in the transport volume helps to reduce the rate of quality loss. Especially in pulldown situations, occurring in warmly-stuffed containers, the advantage may be significant because then the difference between produce temperature and either supply or return air temperature is largest.
  • the at least two transport volume temperature indicators are one or more selected from the group consisting of:
  • Temperatures in the transport volume are unmeasured and therefore cannot be controlled directly.
  • the use of transport volume temperature indicators, correlated to temperatures in the transport volume, advantageously enable indirect control over temperatures in the transport volume, more than just controlling return or supply air temperature to a setpoint.
  • the estimators may e.g. be initialized or re-initialized after a power cut or powering down based on the latest estimate made just before the power cut or power down happened e.g. taking into account the duration of the power cut.
  • One example may e.g. be that the initial estimate after power is established again is equal to the estimate at the power cut or power down plus a factor (e.g. 0.1 °C/h) times the duration of the period (h) of time without power.
  • the estimator for temperature in a coldest spot of the transport volume estimates temperature in a coldest spot of the transport volume based on current and/or recent supply air temperatures and one or more previous estimates of the temperature in a coldest spot of the transport volume, and/or the one or more estimators for temperatures in one or more warmer spots in the transport volume estimates temperatures in one or more warmer spots of the transport volume based on current and/or recent supply air temperatures, current and/or recent return air temperatures, and one or more previous estimates for temperatures in one or more warmer spots in the transport volume.
  • the estimator for temperature in a coldest spot of the transport volume may e.g. be an estimator whose change is based on a function of current and/or recent supply air temperatures and one or more previous estimates of the temperature in a coldest spot of the transport volume.
  • the estimator for temperatures in one or more warmer spots in the transport volume may e.g. be an estimator whose change is based on a function of the current and/or recent supply air temperatures, current and/or recent return air temperatures, and one or more previous estimates for temperatures in one or more warmer spots in the transport volume.
  • estimators for that states advantageously offer the possibility to have some degree of control over those states. Temperatures in the transport volume are unmeasured, yet some degree of control becomes possible by using estimators for temperature (Tcold) in a coldest spot of the transport volume and one or more estimators for temperatures (Twarm) in one or more warmer spots in the transport volume.
  • the estimators could for example be mathematical filters mapping available information on current and/or recent supply air temperature and current and/or recent power supply to the rate of temperature change at the coldest and one or more warmer locations in the transport volume. These filters could be tuned using earlier collected experimental measurements of trajectories of supply air temperature and temperature in the coldest and one or more warmer locations in the transport volume.
  • the method comprises:
  • Controlling a weighted average of an estimate for temperature (Tcold) in a coldest spot of the transport volume and one or more estimators for temperatures (Twarm) in one or more warmer spots of the transport volume offers an important advantage over just controlling supply or return air temperature to setpoint: it controls a true representative of produce temperature to setpoint.
  • the method comprises:
  • Including maximum and minimum constraints advantageously helps to avoid the exceeding of temperature limits that are critical to produce quality. Especially important are the limits in chilled mode below which chilling injury or freezing injury may be inflicted, or the limit in frozen mode above which the carried commodity may start to thaw.
  • a well-known example of chilling injury is the dull grey coloration of bananas stored in home fridges. The risk of freezing injury especially exists for all fruit stored at temperatures just above their freezing point (for example the pale brown coloration of grapes and their stems).
  • the method comprises:
  • the weight of supply air temperature may differ from the weight of the return air temperature.
  • Controlling a weighted average of an estimate for temperature (Tcold) in a coldest spot and an estimate for temperature (Twarm) in a warmest spot of the transport volume offers an important advantage over just controlling supply or return air temperature to setpoint: it controls a true representative of produce temperature to setpoint.
  • Supply air temperature (Tsup) or a time-averaged function thereof, and return air temperature (Tret) or a time-averaged function thereof are not the most advanced estimators for the coldest and the warmest temperature in the transport volume, but the advantage is that they are straightforwardly available in any refrigerated transport container.
  • the method comprises:
  • the method comprises:
  • An additional advantage of using the master-slave concept is the possibility to use the master controller to make the supply air temperature setpoint any possible function of current and/or recently measured return air temperature and to also shape the dynamics of the response of supply air temperature to changes in return air temperature.
  • the master-controller adjusts the supply air temperature setpoint such that the weighted average of the supply air temperature and the return air temperature substantially equals the temperature setpoint (e.g. plus an offset, where the offset maybe zero).
  • the weight of supply air temperature may differ from the weight of the return air temperature.
  • This advantageously combines the advantages provided by the master-slave concept as used in the preceding embodiment with the advantage of controlling a weighted average of an easily available estimate for temperature (Tcold) in a coldest spot and an easily available estimate for temperature (Twarm) in one or more warmer spots of the transport volume, which is the control of a true representative of produce temperature to setpoint.
  • the method comprises
  • the value for the minimum constraint and/or the maximum constraint is dependent on the temperature setpoint and/or the time elapsed since activation of the controller.
  • the refrigerated transport container is not a transport container but another type of refrigerated space in connection with a cooling unit. This could for example be an item of refrigerated road transport equipment, a reefer ship, or any type of stationary cold storage room.
  • a second aspect relates to a system for controlling temperature within a refrigerated transport container, the refrigerated transport container comprising at least a transport volume, and a cooling space, one or more evaporator fans providing an air flow through the cooling space, where air passing through the cooling space passes at least a return air temperature sensor, a cooling unit, and a supply air temperature sensor, wherein the system comprises a control unit adapted to:
  • the embodiments of the system correspond to the embodiments of the method and have the same advantages for the same reasons.
  • Figure 1 schematically illustrates a simplified longitudinal cross-sectional view of a refrigerated space in the form of a refrigerated transport container.
  • a refrigerated transport container 1 Shown is one example of a refrigerated transport container 1, or another type of refrigerated storage space, comprising at least a transport volume 45, a control unit 7, and a cooling space 41.
  • the cooling space 41 may be situated inside an insulated enclosure of the transport container 1 and may (as shown) be separated from the transport volume 45 by a panel or the like equipped with one or more openings to allow a return air flow 50 into the cooling space 41 and a supply air flow 55 out of the cooling space 41.
  • the air flow through the cooling space may be maintained by for example one or more evaporator fans 10 or one or more other units providing a similar function.
  • air successively passes at least a return air temperature sensor 5, the one or more evaporator fans 10, a cooling unit or system 16 (or one or more other units with a similar function) reducing the temperature of the passing air, and a supply air temperature sensor 25.
  • the return air temperature sensor 5 measures the temperature of air returning from the transport volume (forth denoted Tret), while the supply air temperature sensor 25 measures the temperature of air supplied to the transport volume (forth denoted Tsup).
  • Unmeasured temperatures in the transport volume (45) are controlled by the controller (7) to be within a temperature range adjacent to a setpoint temperature (Tset) using two or more transport volume temperature indicators, where the indicators are based on at least measured supply air temperature and/or measured return air temperature.
  • Tset setpoint temperature
  • the temperature control is more advanced than just controlling supply or return air temperature to a setpoint Tset, like in traditional chilled respectively frozen mode operation.
  • the average temperature of the supply air temperature Tsup may temporarily be allowed to be below the setpoint Tset in order to speed up the pulldown of procude temperatures in the transport volume.
  • the controller (7) may e.g. comprise a master-slave controller setup as explained in connection with Figure 2 or its functionality could be provided in another fashion.
  • FIG. 2 schematically illustrates a block diagram representing a so-called master-slave controller according to one embodiment.
  • the process 217 represents temperature dynamics within a refrigerated transport container (see e.g. 1 in Figure 1 ). Though each location in the refrigerated transport container has its own temperature 219, only two of them are measured: a Return air Temperature Sensor 5 measures the return air temperature Tret 213 and a Supply air Temperature Sensor 25 measures the supply air temperature Tsup 209.
  • This block diagram represents a so-called master-slave controller 200 according to one embodiment where an entered setpoint Tset 201 generally is first processed in a master controller 203 that based on Tset 201 and Tret 213 manipulates or derives a second or modified setpoint Tset_slave 205.
  • the difference between the modified setpoint Tset_slave 205 and supply air temperature Tsup 209 is then received by the slave controller 207, which then aims to minimize this difference, effectively controllingTsup 209 to the modified setpoint Tset-slave 205 by adjusting the amount of heat absorbed by the cooling unit (see e.g. 16 in Figure 1 ) in a cooling space of the refrigerated transport container, which in this schematic representation may be regarded to be part of the process 217.
  • the user's setpoint Tset 201 is treated as a setpoint to a master controller 203 where the master controller 203 manipulates the slave setpoint Tset_slave 205.
  • the slave controller 207 then controls the supply air temperature Tsup 209 to the slave setpoint Tset_slave 205.
  • the slave setpoint Tset-slave 205 deliberately deviates from the master setpoint Tset 201 with the objective to control the average of Tsup 209 and Tret 213 to the setpoint Tset 201.
  • a larger portion of the temperatures 219, including produce temperatures, in the container will be in a temperature range adjacent to setpoint Tset 201 and will be so quicker.
  • a cycle is a predefined period of time, which may be constant or may be defined otherwise.
  • a cycle may be defined as a period of time from one start of a compressor until its next start.
  • Tset_slave ⁇ k + 1 max ⁇ Tset_slave_min ; 2 ⁇ Tset - T ⁇ ⁇ ret k °C
  • Figure 3 schematically illustrates a computer simulation with a setpoint (Tset) 301 entered into a controller and temperature trajectories for a temperature of the supply air flow (Tsup) 302, a temperature of the return air flow (Tret) 303 and a warmest produce temperature (Twarm) 304 in the transport volume.
  • Tset setpoint
  • Tret temperature of the return air flow
  • Twarm warmest produce temperature
  • Tsup 302 is controlled to the entered Tset 301.
  • This reflects a traditional approach to temperature control in chilled mode operation. It could be achieved by a control set-up as depicted in Figure 2 where the master controller just sets Tset_slave to Tset 301, although a more natural implementation would then be to omit the master controller and just feed the difference between Tset 301 and Tsup 302 to the slave controller (which then in effect becomes a master controller or the only controller for this purpose).
  • Tret 303 In traditional frozen mode operation, Tret 303 would be controlled to Tset 301. In that situation, the temperature pulldown would proceed at maximum cooling capacity until the curve of Tret 303 reaches setpoint, regardless how much Tsup 302 undershoots the setpoint Tset 301.
  • Figure 3 illustrates the traditional approach in chilled mode operation, i.e. operation at setpoints above -10 °C.
  • the warmest produce temperature Twarm 304 in the transport volume is normally unmeasured, but the computer simulation shows a realistic pattern.
  • Figure 4 shows a computer simulation with simulated trajectories for temperature Tsup 302, Tret 303, Twarm 304 resulting from entering the setpoint Tset 301 into a master-controller, which then manipulates the slave-controller's setpoint Tset_slave 305.
  • the slave-controller's setpoint Tset_slave 305 is adjusted by the master controller, that based on Tset 301 and Tret 303 manipulates the setpoint Tset_slave 305 (constrained to Tset_slave ⁇ Tset -1) with the objective to control the average of Tsup 302 and Tret 303 to Tset 301, while the slave controller aims to minimize the difference between supply air temperature Tsup 302 and its adjusted supply air temperature setpoint Tset_slave 305 .
  • This master-slave controller is an implementation of the embodiment depicted in Figure 2 with the master-controller executing the algorithm as described in relation to Figure 2 .
  • the master-slave concept may be used for example to limit the undershoot of Tsup 302 during temperature pulldown like in Figure 4 . This would for example offer the advantage of some energy saving at the expense of a slightly slower pulldown of warmest temperature Twarm 304 in the transport volume.
  • FIG. 5 and Figure 6 show the trajectories of Tsup 302 and Tret 303 registered during two test shipments. It concerns two refrigerated transport containers making the same journey simultaneously. The containers both carry a cargo of warmly-stuffed citrus. The high initial cargo temperature causes high return air temperatures during the initial days of the voyage.
  • FIG 5 shows the trajectories of Tsup 302 and Tret 303 registered in a container where Tsup 302 is controlled to Tset 301, like in the simulation in Figure 3 .
  • the persistent 0.2 °C offset between Tsup 302 and Tset 303 in Figure 5 is a consequence of a difference between the supply air temperature recorder sensor used to record the temperature measurements and the supply air temperature controller sensor (not shown; see e.g. 5 in Figure 1 ).
  • Figure 5 schematically illustrates a setpoint Tset 301 entered into a controller and temperature trajectories for a temperature of the supply air flow Tsup 302, and a temperature of the return air flow Tret 303. Like in Figure 3 , the supply air temperature Tsup 302 is controlled to the entered Tset 301. Figure 5 does not contain the warmest produce temperature Twarm, as e.g. shown in Figure 3 , as in real shipments this is unknown.
  • Figure 6 displays the recorded Tsup 302 and Tret 303 in a container controlled according to the concept shown in Figure 2 and simulated in Figure 4 . It schematically illustrates a setpoint Tset 301 entered into a controller and temperature trajectories for a temperature of the supply air flow Tsup 302, and a temperature of the return air flow Tret 303. Figure 6 does not contain the warmest produce temperature Twarm as this is not known in real shipments.
  • Figure 6 illustrates how the master controller, deriving Tset_slave, e.g. as described in connection with Figure 2 , responds to the high initial Tret 303 by reducing Tset_slave (not shown, but approximately equal to Tsup 302) to its lower bound Tset 301 minus 1 °C. Consequentially the pulldown of Tret 303 is faster. Later on, Tret 303 comes ever closer to Tset 301, while the master controller gradually rises Tset_slave with the obective to control the average of Tsup 302 and Tret 303 to Tset 301.
  • a defrost control algorithm e.g. implemented in the same control unit (7 in Figure 1 ), overrules the temperature controller, stops cooling, stops the evaporator fans (10 in Figure 1 ) and supplies heat to the cooling unit (16 in Figure 1 ) in order to remove frost formed on the cooling unit.
  • the defrost controller terminates the defrost, the evaporator fans resume the air circulation and the temperature controller resumes temperature control.
