Adaptive air conditioning system for transport cabin, control method for the system, and carrier with the system

An adaptive air conditioning system for a cabin of a carrier that defines a compartment for accommodating at least one transported object for controlling the air and internal installation in the compartment at a predetermined temperature, the system comprising:

• data collecting apparatus including at least one internal installation temperature sensor, at least one compartment temperature sensor, and at least one object sensor, the internal installation temperature sensor capable of measuring temperature of the internal installation and outputting signals representative of the temperature of the internal installation, the compartment temperature sensor capable of measuring temperature of the air in the compartment and outputting signals representative of the temperature of the air in the compartment, the object sensor capable of sensing condition of the transported object and outputting signals representative of the condition of the transported object;
• temperature control apparatus including at least one liquid circulation unit, at least one air circulation unit, and at least one control switch for starting the liquid circulation unit and the air circulation unit, wherein the liquid circulation unit is thermally connected to at least one of the internal installation while the air circulation unit is thermally connected to the compartment;
• and
• a microcontroller capable of receiving the signals outputted from the internal installation temperature sensor, the compartment temperature sensor, and the object sensor, and capable of deciding whether or not to enable the temperature control apparatus according to temperature differences between the temperatures measured by the sensors and the predetermined temperature in view of temperature trends based on thermal energy changes in the cabin, and capable of commanding the control switch to start the liquid circulation unit and/or the air circulation unit according to the temperature differences if the temperature control apparatus is enabled, wherein the data collecting apparatus further includes a communication device electrically connected to the microcontroller for receiving weather information.
