Advances in transport refrigeration systems used in “Trailers” have evolved over many years. Today’s systems must incorporate the latest available technologies, taking into consideration current and future regulatory requirements for refrigerants with low Global Warming Potential, energy efficiency, food quality standards and customer expectations around total operating costs. A summary of transport refrigeration system technologies generally, along with marine air conditioning systems, are presented and includes associated technical challenges, trade-offs, and potential design impacts.
