How Are Refrigerated Containers Powered?
Refrigerated containers, also known as reefers, play a crucial role in global trade by preserving perishable goods during transport.
Paraffin, fatty acid and polyols are the most widely used organic phase change cold storage materials at present.
Thermal and economic analysis of charging and discharging characteristics of composite phase change materials for cold storage Recent advances of polymeric phase change composites for flexible electronics and thermal energy storage system Compos.

Phase change microcapsules have good thermal conductivity, stability, and reliability, and can be used as cryogenic energy storage material. Pu et al. prepared low temperature phase change microcapsules with water core and ethyl cellulose (EC) wall by double emulsion solvent diffusion method, as is shown in Fig. 13.
Here is an overview of different energy sources that can keep refrigerated containers' cooling systems running: At ports or storage facilities, operators typically connect reefers to shore power. This provides a stable electricity supply for continuous operation. Some refrigerated containers feature built-in generators.
