Before buying or renting used reefer containers for sale or rent in the U.S., there are a few things you need to know. Learn more about each type of reefer container by acknowledging their distinguishing features, their purpose, and how their refrigeration systems work through this article!
How Does a Reefer Container Work?
A reefer container has a built-in refrigeration system that can maintain the required temperature. It also has T-bar flooring that allows cool air to circulate the cargo from the bottom up. These features can withstand numerous things that happen during a shipment journey, including temperature changes that could damage the products.
It is important to remember that reefer containers aim to maintain products at the proper temperature instead of lowering them. It means that the cargo needs to reach the desired temperature before loading onto the reefer.
In some reefer containers, the cooling system uses water to maintain the required temperature. It also uses a drainage system that keeps water from building up. To support the internal temperature and humidity stability, the cooling system inside a reefer includes a control panel, along with fans, vents, insulation, and a condenser.
