Estimating the term…
A refrigeration system having a refrigeration unit (22) for providing temperature conditioned air to a temperature controlled space, an engine (26) and an electric generation device (24) driven by the engine, is provided with a battery system (28) for supplying electric power. A method of operating the transport refrigeration includes, during a high cooling demand mode, operating the engine (26) to drive the electric generation device (24) for supplying electric power and simultaneously employing the battery system (28) for supplying electric power to jointly power the plurality of power demand loads (50, 42, 46, 48) of the refrigerant unit.
A method for operating a refrigeration system having a refrigeration unit for providing temperature conditioned air to a temperature controlled space, an engine and an electric generation device, the method comprising:
A transport refrigeration system having a refrigeration unit for providing temperature conditioned air to a cargo storage space of a truck, trailer, intermodal container or other transport container, the refrigeration unit having a refrigerant compression device, a refrigerant heat rejection heat exchanger and an associated fan, a refrigerant heat absorption heat exchanger and an associated fan, and a plurality of power demand loads including a compression device drive motor, a refrigerant heat rejection heat exchanger fan drive motor, a refrigerant heat absorption heat exchanger fan drive motor and an electric heater, the transport refrigeration system having an electric generating device and an engine for driving the electric generating device, the transport refrigeration system further comprising:
