Multi-temperature transport refrigeration system and method

Abstract

A transport refrigeration system (100) including a container (10) having an outer wall defining at least one compartment. Also included is a first refrigerant system section (202) disposed at an exterior location of the outer wall of the container, the first refrigerant system section having a first refrigerant routed therethrough for cooling of the first refrigerant. Further included is a second refrigerant system (204) section disposed at least partially within an interior location of the outer wall of the container, the second refrigerant system section having a second refrigerant that is different from the first refrigerant routed therethrough for cooling of the second refrigerant. Yet further included is a heat exchanger (240) in fluid communication with the first refrigerant system section to receive the first refrigerant, the heat exchanger in fluid communication with the second refrigerant system section to receive the second refrigerant, the first refrigerant cooling the second refrigerant within the heat exchanger.
