How to generate electricity for cold chain containers

4 FAQs about [How to generate electricity for cold chain containers]

What energy sources can keep refrigerated containers'' cooling systems running?

Here is an overview of different energy sources that can keep refrigerated containers’ cooling systems running: At ports or storage facilities, operators typically connect reefers to shore power. This provides a stable electricity supply for continuous operation. Some refrigerated containers feature built-in generators.

What types of gensets do reefer containers use?

Operators typically choose between three types of gensets to power reefer containers, depending on how and where the container moves: underslung, clip-on, or on-chassis units. Each serves a specific role in cold chain operations. Underslung gensets mount beneath the chassis of the trailer or container-carrying vehicle.

How much carbon does a cold chain transport link emit?

LIU et al. calculated the carbon emissions of each link in the cold chain of fruits and vegetables, and the carbon emissions of the transportation link accounted for 82 % of the total carbon emissions . As a result, the cold chain transportation link must be studied and optimized.

How do genset machines work?

Genset machines work by generating electricity to power the refrigeration unit within a reefer container. When a reefer container is stationary at a port or facility, it can plug into an external power grid to maintain its internal temperature. However, during transit, access to external power sources is not feasible.
