The Top Manufacturers of Transport Refrigeration Units

An estimated one-third of perishable goods never make it to their destination because of improper cooling. Transport refrigeration units require complex components capable of maintaining consistent temperatures and is one of the most challenging refrigeration applications to perform.

The best transport refrigeration units are able to handle:

  • Harsh environments
  • Resist corrosion
  • Fluctuating temperatures
  • Constant shifts and vibrations

What are the components of a transport refrigeration unit?

There are three key components of transport refrigeration systems that enable them to work at the top level:

1. The evaporator – absorbs heat from the air with cold liquid refrigerant.
2. Compressor – Pumps the refrigerant into a high-pressure gas.
3. Condenser – Removes heat from the refrigerant gas and turns it back to liquid.

Whether it’s a single delivery van or a large fleet, these critical parameters ensure that food supplies, flowers, medical products, and other perishables will reach their destination safely with properly controlled temperatures.
