Abstract: A transport refrigeration system (20) has a compartment (22) and a vapor compression refrigeration system (30). The vapor compression refrigeration system (30) has: a compressor (32); a first heat exchanger (34) downstream of the compressor along a refrigerant flowpath in a cooling mode; an expansion device (36); a second heat exchanger (38) downstream of the expansion device along the refrigerant flowpath; and a fan (42) for driving air along an air flowpath across the second heat exchanger for cooling the compartment in the cooling mode. A thermochemical refrigeration system (100) is coupled to the vapor compression refrigeration system downstream of the first heat exchanger and upstream of the second heat exchanger along the refrigerant flowpath in the cooling mode.

Abstract: A transport refrigeration system comprises: a container (22) having a doorway (27) with at least one door (26); a refrigeration system (30) including a reversible first fan (82) for driving air (512) along an air flowpath and a heat absorption exchanger (80) along the air flowpath for cooling the air; and a second fan (100) positioned to in at least one mode of operation drive an air curtain flow (520 1) downward across the doorway.
