Abstract

An automated container refrigeration system for a container comprising a transport volume. A cooling unit is configured to control air temperature within the transport volume by discharging cooled air with a supply air temperature into the transport volume in accordance with control signals supplied by a temperature control system. A first temperature probe is insertable into fruit pulp of a commodity load arranged within the transport volume, wherein the first temperature probe is operatively connected to the temperature control system for supplying a load temperature thereto. The temperature control system is adapted to adjust the supply air temperature over time so that the load temperature follows a predetermined temperature profile.
