  • Parallel loop intermodal container
    Patent number: 11761703
    Abstract: A refrigerated transport system comprises a body enclosing a refrigerated compartment. A refrigeration system (29) comprises first and second vapor compression loops each having: a refrigerant charge; a compressor (36A,B) for driving the refrigerant of the refrigerant charge; a first heat exchanger (38A,B) positioned to reject heat to an external environment in a cooling mode; and a second heat exchanger (42A,B) positioned to absorb heat from the refrigerated compartment in the cooling mode.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 9, 2016
    Date of Patent: September 19, 2023
    Assignee: Carrier Corporation

  • Series loop intermodal container
    Patent number: 10670322
    Abstract: A refrigerated transport system (20) comprises a body (22) enclosing a refrigerated compartment (69). A refrigeration system (30) comprises: a vapor compression loop (31) having a first heat exchanger (38) positioned to reject heat to an external environment in a cooling mode. A heat transfer loop (32) has a second heat exchanger (58) positioned to absorb heat from the refrigerated compartment in the cooling mode. An inter-loop heat exchanger (44) has a first leg (42) along the vapor compression loop and a second leg (43) along the heat transfer loop in heat exchange relation with the first leg.

  • Refrigerated Transport System with Refrigerant Dilution
    Publication number: 20180327179
    Abstract: A refrigerated transport system (20) comprises: a body (22) enclosing a refrigerated compartment. A refrigeration system (30) comprises: a charge of refrigerant; a compressor (36) for driving the refrigerant along a refrigerant flowpath (34); a first heat exchanger (38) along the refrigerant flowpath and positioned to reject heat to an external environment in a cooling mode; and a second heat exchanger (42) along the refrigerant flowpath and positioned to absorb heat from the refrigerated compartment in the cooling mode. The refrigerated transport system has a detector (232) for detecting leakage of the refrigerant.
