  • Patent number: 10309711
    Abstract: A refrigerated truck transportation system includes a transportation cargo container and a refrigeration unit secured to a front wall of the transportation cargo container to provide a flow of supply air for the transportation cargo container. The refrigeration unit includes a compressor and a refrigeration engine operably connected to the compressor to drive the compressor. The compressor and the engine are located in a refrigeration unit housing. A housing cover is located at an upper portion of the refrigeration unit housing. The housing cover has a lower extent located at the refrigeration unit housing and an upper extent located at a top wall of the transportation cargo container and configured to direct an airflow over the top wall thereby reducing turbulence in the airflow.

  • Publication number: 20160231043
    Abstract: A refrigerated transportation cargo container includes a transportation cargo container (10) and a refrigeration unit (24) located at an end of the transportation cargo container (10) to provide a flow of supply air (40) for the transportation cargo container (10). The refrigeration unit (24) includes a compressor (26) and an engine (36) operably connected to the compressor (26) to drive the compressor (26). An engine air intake (54) is located at a top wall (12) of the cargo container (10) to direct a flow of engine intake air (52) from outside the cargo container (10) toward the engine (36), and an air channel (50) extends from the engine air intake (54) to the engine (36).
