Abstract: A transport climate control system includes a vision system having an image capturing device to capture an image. An image recognition system is configured to analyze the captured image to obtain analyzed image data, and determine an instruction for adjusting operation of the transport climate control system or the transport unit. A controller is configured to execute the determined instruction. A method of controlling a transport climate control system that provides climate control within a climate controlled space of a transport unit that includes an image capturing device capturing an image within a climate controlled space is provided. The method includes analyzing the captured image by an image recognition system communicatively connected with the image capturing device; determining an instruction; and a controller executing the determined instruction.

Abstract: There is disclosed a transport refrigeration unit comprising an enclosed cargo space, an outer refrigeration cycle configured to transfer heat from the cargo space exteriorly of the cargo space, to cool the cargo space; a container installed within the cargo space; and an inner refrigeration cycle configured to transfer heat from an interior of the container, to cool the interior of the container. There is also disclosed a portable refrigeration device for use in such nested cooling arrangements, methods of adapting a transport refrigeration unit and/or portable refrigeration device for such use, a refrigeration module for such use, and an associated method of operating a transport refrigeration unit.
