Abstract
The article presents the concept of innovative technology used to store refrigerated containers in port terminals or on ships that aims to reduce the energy consumption. The idea of new technology to store refrigerated containers was described on port’s terminal example. According to set assumptions, the mathematical heat-balance model of containers stored on yard has been proposed to calculate the savings, as well as the effects of such solution usage have been shown. The results of preliminary calculations were compared to results of experimental verification conducted in the laboratory and based on the approximate model. Obtained results both calculations and experimental verification proved the effectiveness of proposed concept; however, the experimental results indicate smaller savings, then the calculated one.
Highlights
Since humanity met with the phenomenon of global warming caused by industrial human activities,1 the problem of energy consumption reduction is going hand
Chilled and frozen goods transportation in refrigerated containers within intermodal transport chains on long distances is performed through seaports and land terminals (Chen and Notteboom 2012; Filina-Dawidowicz and Gajewska 2018)
The seaport charges a fee for refrigerated containers services including container connection to the electrical power source on the storage yard (Filina-Dawidowicz and Postan 2015)
Summary
Since humanity met with the phenomenon of global warming caused by industrial human activities, the problem of energy consumption reduction is going hand. The seaport charges a fee for refrigerated containers services including container connection to the electrical power source on the storage yard (Filina-Dawidowicz and Postan 2015). Big need to reduce the energy consumption of refrigerated container with cooled or frozen cargo is justified It may cause a reduction in transportation cost of goods. The reduction of such losses in refrigerating containers is current and local problem, and all primary and global-scale problems, connected with environmental friendly technology implementation and reduction of transportation cost of cooled and frozen goods In this regard, the moist coating of container, allowing to reduce the escaped heat energy was proposed (Reducing heat 2014). – Containers are transported to the storage yard by a reach stackers and/or gantry cranes This technology application allows to place the containers tightly to each other with minor gaps. It is assumed that 100% of fans electric power remains in the box and converted into heat
