  • Publication number: 20160185400
    Abstract: Embodiments to help improve an airflow using e.g., an airflow director, an aerodynamic tail, etc. for a transport unit are disclosed. Structures and methods herein are related to directing airflow to low pressure areas in relation to the transport unit which can improve energy efficiency, counter turbulent airflows, and/or reduce drag. Surface features, such as one or more openings, louvers, tunnels, baffles, air directors, deflectors, inverters, etc. are strategically arranged or positioned on the aerodynamic faring to help direct an airflow toward a transport refrigeration unit when the temperature controlled transport unit is in motion. An aerodynamic tail can direct an airflow to a relatively low pressure region at a rear end of the transport unit when the transport unit is in motion to reduce or eliminate the relatively low pressure region. The features may be stored within a storage structure attached to a rear door of the transport unit.

  • Publication number: 20130283832
    Abstract: Refrigeration systems with a purge for removing non-condensables from an environmentally-suitable chiller refrigerant are provided. The refrigeration systems utilize an environmentally-suitable chiller refrigerant with a 100 year direct global warming potential (GWP) of less than 150. The refrigeration systems further include a remover to remove refrigerant-harmful gases from the chiller refrigerant.
