What is a refrigerated container
It is a installation for storage and transportation at a certain stable temperature. The refrigerated container consists of the following elements:
- generator;

- external metal frame.
The latter has anti-corrosion properties and resistance to mechanical influences. The principle of operation of the installation consists in constant blowing of the internal space with air of a given temperature and humidity.
The temperature range varies from -30ºС to +30ºС. The length is from 20 to 40 feet.
Inside, refrigerators are equipped with sandwich panels, consisting of two sheets of metal, between which there is insulation. This structure resembles a thermos, sandwich panels do not allow heat from the outside to penetrate inside. Hinged doors prevent the penetration of dust and ultraviolet radiation. The generator is located near the installation or inside. The device of the refrigerated container assumes the presence of built-in temperature sensors and control systems.
