Refrigerated railroad cars, known as reefers, are railroad rolling stock designed to carry perishable freight at specific temperatures. They are insulated boxcars that keep the cargo at a regulated temperature. As soon as railroad cars had the capability to keep a load cold, the potential growth of the meat, dairy, fruit and brewery industries became ...

The Economical Thickness of Insulation in Refrigerator Cars

Transactions of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 1923
Abstract The authors call attention to the increasing importance of the economic design of refrigerator cars and discuss the factors which must be taken into account in finding the proper thickness of insulation. The outstanding feature of the paper is the use of alignment charts to determine readily answers to problems involving many ...

PECULIARITIES OF UNIVERSAL BODY DESIGN FOR INNOVATION REFRIGERATOR CARS

Bulletin of Bryansk state technical university, 2021
There are considered analysis results of stress-strain state in the load-bearing structure of three versions of refrigerator cars with different arrangement solutions of refrigerating-heating plants (RHP) and a thermos car at its cooling with liquid nitrogen.

Predictive control of car refrigeration cycle with an electric compressor

Applied Thermal Engineering, 2017
Abstract Air conditioning in an electric car significantly impairs its driving range. This study intends to save energy consumed by air conditioning in cars while maintaining a similar level of the thermal environment in the cabin. The cooling load is removed by controlling the air temperature by an evaporator.
