Freight container deformation energy storage technology

What is the service technology of refrigerated containers with cargo?

The service technology of refrigerated containers with cargo is significantly different from containers of other types because of the need to maintain inside the containers’ constant microclimatic conditions in every link of the supply chain (Filina-Dawidowicz 2014). Selected dimensions and parameters of the containers are shown in Tables 2 and 3.

How to reduce energy consumption of refrigerated container?

Available literature shows the number of solutions to reduce energy consumption of refrigerated container. These solutions refer, i.e., to adaptation of the terminal layout (Geerlings and van Duin 2011), electrical han-dling equipment usage (Yang and Lin 2013), and inte-grated scheduling of cranes and trucks (He et al. 2015).

Can a refrigerated container be stored in a port terminal?

You have full access to this open access article The article presents the concept of innovative technology used to store refrigerated containers in port terminals or on ships that aims to reduce the energy consumption. The idea of new technology to store refrigerated containers was described on port’s terminal example.

How are frozen goods transported in intermodal transport chains?

Chilled and frozen goods transportation in refrigerated containers within intermodal transport chains on long distances is performed through seaports and land terminals (Chen and Notteboom 2012; Filina-Dawidowicz and Gajewska 2018).

How does a container transport system work?

The container complies with the ISO standard. The system is installed in 20 ft, 40 ft and containers of other sizes according to the system size, and the containers can be combined together. In this configuration, the system can be transported by trailer on land and by container carrier over water (Figure 2).

Should refrigerated container with cooled or frozen cargo be reduced?

Therefore, the need to reduce the energy consumption of refrigerated container with cooled or frozen cargo is justified. Moreover, it may cause a reduction in transportation cost of goods. This fact may allow both to increase the carrier’s/port’s profits and to reduce the wholesale and retail price of goods.
