Study Notes
Transportation of Fresh Products
- Fresh products are transported in specialized refrigerated cargo ships known as 'reefer ships'.
- The cargo may be chilled or frozen and is carried in cartons.
Shift to Refrigerated Containers
- Refer ships fleet is shrinking.
- Most shippers prefer to use refrigerated containers.
Modern Refrigeration System
- Air is blown over successive rows of pipes containing a coolant.
- The air is then channeled into the cargo compartment through delivery fans and series of ducts.
- The air circulates throughout the cargo and is then exhausted via the exhaust fan.
- The modern machinery provides: • Humidity control • Temperature control • Air changes control (through fan speed and adjustable mix of fresh air and circulated air)
