Can you plug in a reefer?
Power cords and receptacles must be free of damage. them into a receptacle. Use caution when plugging or unplugging reefers during rain or snow. Do not plug in reefer units if wires are exposed.
What is a reefer outlet?
ESL Safety-interlocked Power Modules (Reefer Outlets) are designed to provide the operator with a “de-energized” circuit during the insertion and retraction of the male plug, preventing making or breaking under load. All ESL products are designed to be safe, simple, and durable.
How does a reefer container work?
Cold air blows from the refrigeration unit through the vents at the bottom of the reefer and all the way to the back doors. The warm air at the top of the container flows back to the refrigeration unit over the cargo, where it chills for return to the interior.
How much power does a reefer container use?
6 to 9 kW
Depending on guidelines of the manufacturer of container refrigeration unit, its technical condition and the required temperature level in the box, the average power consumption in 40′ container ranges from 6 to 9 kW (Reefer container 2017).
How do you turn on a reefer container?
Ensure the unit is connected to the power supply. Turn on the unit by placing the “ON/OFF” switch to the “ON” position. Wait a few seconds for the unit to complete its “self-test”. Set the temperature by using the “UP” or “DOWN” arrow keys, this temperature can be seen on the screen labelled “SETPOINT/Code”.
What power supply do I need to run a conventional reefer container?
The reefer unit requires a three phase electrical system with a supply voltage of 440/460 volt. Some units are available with three phase 208/230 volt transformers. Units are available to run on 50 or 60 Hz. amps.
How cold can reefer trailers get?
The average reefer maintains temperatures within a range of about -13 degrees to 77 degrees Fahrenheit. However, there are highly specialized refrigeration units that go as low as -85 degrees Fahrenheit.
Do reefer trucks heat?
Reefer refrigeration units are quite robust, as when trapped heat builds up inside a non-refrigerated trailer, the temperature can be 30 degrees Fahrenheit or more above the outside air temperature. Reefers have revolutionized the food industry.
