  • Mobile refrigeration system and method of detecting sensor failures therein
    Publication number: 20060042278
    Abstract: A mobile refrigeration system that includes an engine and a compressor that is operable in response to the engine to produce a flow of refrigerant. An evaporator receives the flow of refrigerant and a first temperature sensor is positioned to measure a first temperature. A second temperature sensor is positioned to measure a second temperature and a controller is operable to detect a failure of one of the first temperature sensor and the second temperature sensor by calculating a temperature difference between the measured first temperature and the measured second temperature and comparing the temperature difference to a predetermined value.
