  • Publication number: 20230365326
    Abstract: A freight container (10) and a method for sensing at least one of a temperature and a humidity in a freight container are provided. The freight container comprises a cargo compartment (20) being defined by a floor (16), a ceiling (14) and walls (18a-d). The freight container comprises a climate arrangement (50), configured for providing conditioned air-flow (100) into the cargo compartment of said freight container. The climate arrangement further comprises at least one environmental sensor (52A-E) for sensing a temperature and/or a humidity in the cargo compartment, wherein the at least one environmental sensor is accommodated in at least one recess (60) in at least one of the ceiling and walls.

  • Publication number: 20230348178
    Abstract: A freight container (10), comprising: a cargo compartment being defined by a floor (16), a ceiling (14) and walls (18a-d) wherein the ceiling comprises an inner portion (40) and an outer portion (24) defining a first space (26). The freight container further comprises a climate arrangement (50), configured for providing a climate-conditioned air-flow into said cargo compartment of said freight container. At least one of said walls comprises an inner wall portion (17a, 42) and an outer wall portion (17b, 32) defining a second space (19a, 19b), wherein said first space is fluidically connected to said second space, and said inner wall portion comprises at least one aperture (110) between said second space and said cargo compartment. The climate arrangement is configured to provide said climate-conditioned air-flow into said cargo compartment of said freight container via said first space, said second space and said at least one aperture.

  • Publication number: 20230331068
    Abstract: A method for controlling a climate-conditioned gas-flow in a freight container comprises providing (S2) of a climate-conditioned gas-flow into a cargo compartment defined by a floor, a ceiling and walls, of which one comprises a door. Measurements of climate conditions are obtained (S4) in a gas-flow going into the climate arrangement, going out from the climate arrangement and/or the cargo compartment. The climate-conditioned gas-flow is controlled (S6) based on the measurements of climate conditions. The climate-conditioned gas-flow is provided in vicinity of the ceiling, whereby apart of the climate-conditioned gas-flow reaches the container wall comprising a door. A door position is monitored (S8), detecting whether the door is open or closed. When the door is monitored to be open, the climate-conditioned gas-flow is deviated (S12) as an adaptive protective gas flow over the opening of the open door. A freight container for the method is also disclosed.
