Climate-controlled freight container and a method for controlling the climate in a climate-controlled freight container

A climate-controlled freight container, comprising:

• a casing, enclosing a cargo compartment and a control compartment, said control compartment having a climate module support with at least two mounting positions;
• a climate system;
• said climate system has at least two climate modules mounted in said climate module support and an air distribution arrangement, configured to distribute air from a supply air plenum of said climate system at least one of around or into said cargo compartment, and back to a return air plenum of said climate system;
• and
• a central climate-control unit, for collection of measurements associated with climate conditions of said cargo compartment and for controlling said climate system to maintain predetermined climate conditions in said cargo compartment;
• and
• wherein each of said at least two climate modules is configured for adapting climate properties of air flowing through the respective one of said at least two climate modules from said return air plenum to said supply air plenum;
• wherein each of said at least two climate modules comprises a local climate-control unit, configured for controlling an operation of the respective one of said at least two climate modules;
• said local climate-control unit being communicationally connected to said central climate-control unit, whereby said central climate-control unit is configured for providing operational instructions to said local climate-control units.
