Abstract
Transport refrigeration units of a type configured to cool or heat the interior of a mobile enclosure, such as in a trailer or lorry, are provided together with related methods. In one instance, the transport refrigeration unit (10) is for mounting to a mobile enclosure and comprises a refrigeration system (28) including a compressor (45), evaporator (40) and condenser (50). At least one condenser air movement device (60) is also provided. A plenum provides an air flow channel between the condenser and condenser air movement device, wherein the direction of air flow is at least partially reversed in the plenum.
Claims26
A transport refrigeration unit (TRU) for mounting to a mobile enclosure comprising:
- a refrigeration system including a compressor, evaporator and condenser;
- at least one condenser air movement device;
- and
- a plenum providing an air flow channel between the condenser and condenser air movement device, wherein the direction of air flow is at least partially reversed in the plenum.
The unit of claim wherein air enters the plenum through the condenser in a first direction and the air movement device is positioned at the other end of the plenum and orientated to pull air out of the plenum in a second direction which is at least partially opposite to the first direction.

A transport refrigeration unit (TRU) for mounting to a mobile enclosure comprising:
- a chassis;
- at least one air movement device;
- and
- a mounting assembly for the air movement device comprising:
- sliding pins fixed to the air movement device and extended at the sides;
- first and second rails mounted to or formed by the chassis,
- wherein the rails have respective channels for receiving the respective sliding pins, wherein when mounting the air movement device the channels receive the pins at a proximal end and guide the fan assembly in a first direction towards a received position in the chassis as the pins slide along the channels.
