J Michael Griffin from Carrier presented results from extensive sea trials of refrigerated reefer containers for the transport of perishable and frozen cargo. Based on new CO₂ technology with optimised efficiency for different modes of operation, the system consists of purpose built multi-stage compressor, gas cooler heat exchanger, two speed gas cooler fan, flash tank, variable speed drive and advance controls. The CO₂ transcritical system has been successfully tested during more than 23,000 operating hours, resulting in an average energy use equal to R134a.
