Abstract: A pump includes a housing having a first end and a second end and extending along a longitudinal axis and a discharge casing having a first end coupleable to the second end of the housing. The discharge casing extends along the longitudinal axis coaxial to the housing. A dismounting device includes a first dismount casing and a second dismount casing disposed between the discharge casing and the second end of the housing. The dismounting device extends along the longitudinal axis coaxial to the housing and the discharge casing.

Abstract: A method for charging a phase change material (PCM) of a thermal accumulator provided in a refrigerated transport unit is provided. The refrigerated transport unit includes a prime mover to move the refrigerated transport unit, a transport refrigeration system (TRS) that includes a heat transfer fluid circuit. The heat transfer fluid circuit has a compressor, a heat exchanger, an expansion device and a PCM heat exchanger. The method requires monitoring for, via a controller, a braking signal from a braking sensor of the refrigerated transport unit. Also, the method includes directing energy generated by the prime mover for moving the refrigerated transport unit to the TRS when the controller receives a braking signal from the braking sensor. Further, the method includes the TRS charging the PCM of the thermal accumulator via the heat transfer fluid circuit when the energy generated by the prime mover is directed to the TRS.

Abstract: A method for air temperature control within a cargo compartment of a transport unit using a transport refrigeration system (TRS) that includes a thermal accumulator having a phase change material (PCM) provided therein is provided. The thermal accumulator is disposed in a thermal accumulator compartment and the cargo compartment is separated from the thermal accumulator compartment via a climate controlled barrier. The method includes a controller receiving, via one or more temperature sensors, temperature data within a cargo compartment of the transport unit from. The method also includes determining a temperature within the cargo compartment based on the temperature data. Also, the method includes determining a temperature stratification within the cargo compartment based on the temperature data. Further, the method includes operating the TRS in an active operation mode when the temperature within the cargo compartment is greater than a temperature set point.

Abstract: A method of constructing modular air conditioning systems for vehicles includes providing identical universal base units that can be built out into a variety of different types of air conditioning systems. Each base unit includes a frame, a condenser, an evaporator coil, and a blower, and has open-circuit refrigerant connection lines so as to be non-operational without a completion kit. Completion kits are provided in a variety of configurations, including at least two of a simple connection kit, a front box kit, and a compressor kit, each of which is connectable with a universal base unit to form a unique type of air conditioning system.
