Refrigerated Cargo
Refrigerated Cargo
 
CSAV refrigerated containers can provide temperature-controlled environments ranging from below freezing to room temperature. Each container is equipped with a permanent refrigeration unit with individualized temperature controls. The cargo is kept under constant refrigeration or heating simply by connecting the container to the power supply of the ship, terminal facilities, or mobile energy sources. During sea transport, the temperatures of all CSAV refrigerated containers are regularly checked.

Refrigerated containers have polyurethane foam insulation that keeps the cargo cool after the unit is disconnected from a power source. A temperature of -20ºC inside the container will rise only 2º per 24 hours, even with an outside temperature of +20ºC. The maximum cooling capacity of the unit is -20ºC with an outside temperature of +45ºC. The unit is equipped with a Partlow thermostat that can be set at any desired temperature between -20ºC and +20ºC

CSAV refrigerated containers are built to assure the complete cooling or freezing of every part of your load. The cool air circulates through the ventilated floor to reach all parts of the cargo, "which must be properly stowed". The cargo should not be stacked close to the roof of the container. There must be a 10-15 cm. free space above the cargo for proper air circulation. A maximum height line can be found on the interior of most containers.
