Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to a freight container for transporting cargo, especially temperature sensitive cargo.
  • the disclosure further relates to a method for transporting cargo.
  • Freight containers are widely used to transport such cargo, e.g. by boat, train, and/or truck.
  • Some cargo e.g. food, such as fruit, dairy products, meat, etc., but also electronics, may require a climate controlled environment to prevent their deterioration.
  • Temperature and/or humidity sensitive cargo can be transported by a freight container comprising an air conditioning unit.
  • the air conditioning unit can be integrated into the container.
  • a power source/generator For example a diesel powered generator and fuel tank can be integrated into the container.
  • the extra equipment may affect the available cargo space because the outer dimensions of the container are constrained by international standards.
  • a long range transport container may contain a relatively large fuel tank that occupies part of the cargo space.
  • such a design runs counter to the general need for maximizing the cargo capacity of the freight container.
  • the container comprises a container body enclosing a cargo space for storing the cargo.
  • the container further comprises an air conditioning unit arranged for controlling a temperature and/or humidity in the cargo space.
  • the air conditioning unit may for instance be arranged for conditioning the temperature of air in the container, e.g. in order to facilitate that the temperature of goods transported by the container can be kept substantially below a predetermined maximum temperature and/or can be kept substantially above a predetermined minimum temperature, preferably said temperature can be kept substantially within a predetermined temperature range.
  • the air conditioning unit can be arranged for cooling air and/or can be arranged for heating air.
  • the container further comprises a generator for powering the air conditioning unit.
  • the container further comprises a fuel tank for supplying the generator with fuel, especially diesel. At least part the air conditioning unit is suspended above a cargo floor of the cargo space.
  • the present arrangement may allow cargo to be placed on the cargo floor below the air conditioning system.
  • the air conditioning unit By arranging the air conditioning unit at or near a front side of the container opposite a back side provided with one or more doors, the unit can be placed against the front without affecting the doors.
  • at least a part of the air conditioning system can be provided against a top side of the container.
  • the outer dimensions of the container can be kept within specification, while saving cargo space at least at the floor level.
  • a part of the air conditioning unit e.g. condenser, may be sticking outside from the container body.
  • the air conditioning unit can be placed through a vertical side wall, yet stay within the constrained perimeter of the container.
  • the cargo floor may extends below the step for allowing cargo to be placed on the cargo floor below the step.
  • the design made available by the present disclosure can provide a container having an outer length corresponding with the sizes and dimensions of a standard freight container.
  • the freight container can be formed as a 45 foot container, preferably as a so-called 45 ft. pallet wide container.
  • a relevant norm for the standard container dimensions would for example be an ISO standard, such as ISO 668 (1995) or an equivalent standard.
  • the container can be provided with first fitting blocks of which the mutual spacing corresponds to the mutual spacing of a 40 foot container and/or second fitting blocks or so-called corner fittings of which the mutual spacing corresponds to the mutual spacing of the outermost placed fitting blocks of a 45 foot container.
  • the air conditioning unit can be arranged at least partially above the fuel tank.
  • the fuel tank can be arranged flat against an outer hull of the container.
  • the generator can be integrated as part of the air conditioning unit.
  • the container may comprise one or more batteries for feeding the air conditioning unit and/or starting the generator.
  • the battery can be charged by the generator.
  • the fuel tank may comprises an L-shape, wherein the battery is accommodated in a cavity formed by the L-shape.
  • the container may comprise a sensor, especially a temperature sensor, associated with the cargo space, and a controller for controlling the air conditioning system.
  • the controller is arranged for determining whether an air property sensed by the sensor needs to be altered by examining whether the sensed air property is below a predetermined bottom threshold value and/or above a predetermined top threshold value, and for controlling the air conditioning unit such as to alter the air property accordingly.
  • Another or further problem associated with containers for transporting temperature sensitive cargo is that the batteries of such containers can run low, especially when the containers are transported through relatively cold areas with a relatively cold outdoor temperature (e.g. when being transported overland, for instance by train, e.g. from Europe through Russia to China, or vice versa).
  • the present disclosure provides a freight container for transporting cargo, especially temperature sensitive cargo as described above, or otherwise.
  • the container comprises a cargo space defining a cargo floor, and an air conditioning unit, preferably a cooling and/or heating unit, a battery for feeding the air conditioning unit, a generator, especially a diesel powered generator, for charging the battery at least partly, and a fuel tank for supplying the generator with fuel.

  • the container further comprises a voltage sensing device and a controller arranged for controlling the generator in order to charge the battery at least partly at a moment when is determined that the terminal voltage of the battery has dropped below a predetermined minimum voltage threshold value.
  • the container further comprises a receiver and a controller arranged for controlling the generator in order to charge the battery at least partly based on a control signal received by said receiver.

  • the method further comprises altering said air property when the value of the sensed air property is below said predetermined bottom threshold value, such as to bring said air property above said predetermined bottom threshold value, or altering said air property when the sensed value of the air property is above said predetermined top threshold value, such as to bring said air property below said predetermined top threshold value.
  • the method further comprises at least partly charging the battery by means of the generator at a moment when there is no need to alter the air property of the air inside the container. This may be advantageous for keeping the battery charged also during periods when the air conditioning is not strictly necessary. Otherwise, the battery may discharge which may also prevent the generator from starting.
  • the step of charging the battery at a moment when there is no need to alter the air property of the air inside the container is initiated when a predetermined time interval has lapsed, e.g. when a predetermined time interval has lapsed since the last time the battery is charged at least partly.
