Definitions

  • the subject matter disclosed herein relates to refrigeration systems. More specifically, the subject matter disclosed herein relates to air distribution in refrigerated containers utilized to store and ship cargo.
  • a typical refrigerated cargo container such as those utilized to transport a cargo via sea, rail or road, is a container equipped with a refrigeration unit located at one end of the container.
  • the refrigeration unit includes a compressor, condenser, expansion valve and evaporator coil, all located at the end of the container.
  • a volume of refrigerant circulates throughout the refrigeration unit, and one or more evaporator fans of the refrigeration unit blow a flow of supply air across the evaporator coil cooling the supply air and forcing it out into the container.
  • the supply air is typically forced downwardly into a kick plate located at a bottom of the refrigeration unit, which is used to direct the supply air to discharge along the cargo container floor, for example, through t-bars arrayed along the floor.
  • a portion of the supply air flows outward and upward from the kick plate, not into the t-bars, but filling side passages between a side wall of the container and a side wall of the refrigeration unit, in some designs.
  • the side passages are closed by a side plate extending vertically between the container side wall and the refrigeration unit to prevent supply air from being discharged directly from the side passages into the cargo container without passing through the t-bars.
  • JP 2004/003705 A and WO 2010/147797 A2 disclose a refrigerated cargo container having means for distributing cooled supply air to T-channels in the container floor.
  • a refrigerated transportation cargo container comprising the features of claim 1.
  • FIG. 1 Shown in FIG. 1 is an embodiment of a refrigerated cargo container 10.
  • the cargo container 10 is formed into a generally rectangular construction, with a ceiling 12, a directly opposed floor 14, opposed side walls 16 and a front wall 18.
  • the cargo container 10 further includes a door or doors (not shown) at a rear wall 20, opposite the front wall 18.
  • the cargo container 10 is configured to maintain a cargo 22 located inside the cargo container 10 at a selected temperature through the use of a refrigeration unit 24 located at the container 10.
  • the cargo container 10 is mobile and is utilized to transport the cargo 22 via, for example, a truck, a train or a ship.
  • the refrigeration unit 24 is located at the front wall 18, and includes a compressor 26, a condenser 28, an expansion valve 30, an evaporator 32 and an evaporator fan 34 (shown in FIG. 2 ), as well as other ancillary components.
  • the refrigeration unit 24 blows return airflow 36 across the evaporator 32 via the evaporator fan 34, thus cooling the airflow 36 to a selected temperature and urges the cooled return airflow 36, now referred to as supply air 38, through a kick plate assembly 40 into the container 10 via, for example, openings 42 in one or more T-bars 44 extending along the floor 14 of the container 10 to cool the cargo 22.
  • the kick plate assembly 40 includes a kick plate 46 that forms a discharge cavity 48 at a bottom portion of the refrigeration unit 24 to evenly distribute the supply air 38 along a width 50 ( FIG.3 ) of the cargo container 10 into the T-bars 44.
  • the kick plate assembly 40 and the discharge cavity 48 are located below the refrigeration unit 24, between the refrigeration unit 24 and the floor 14 of the cargo container 10.
  • the cargo container 10 is configured with a side passage 52 between a refrigeration unit sidewall 54 and the sidewall 16 of the cargo container 10.
  • the kick plate assembly 40 is configured with a baffle plate 56 extending laterally from the refrigeration unit sidewall 54 to the side wall 16 of the cargo container 10.
  • the baffle plate 56 prevents flow of the supply air 38 into the side passage 52 and directs the supply air 38 into the T-bars 44.
  • the baffle plate 56 is secured to the kick plate 46 via one or more hinges 58 for better serviceability and to allow the kick plate assembly 40 to be adapted to different configurations of cargo container 10 and/or refrigeration unit 24.
  • the baffle plate 56 includes a peripheral seal 60 to reduce leakage of the supply air 38 around the baffle plate 56 into the side passage 52.
