Refrigerated containers are of 2 types :
- With individual refrigerating plant .
- With ship’s refrigerating plant .
- There are 2 types of refrigerated containers.
One type has its own refrigerating plant and pump so that cold air is circulated inside the container. When this type of container is loaded, it is just plugged into the ship’s electrical supply and thereafter it is automatically controls the temperature inside the container.
The other type of container uses air ducts. Cold air is supplied from a ship’s battery room. Flexible couplings are fitted between ship’s air ducts and the container. In other words, the ship provides the cold air system. This type of container is not popular. Most refrigerated containers have their own refrigeration plant.
