Reefer
Reefers (refrigerated containers) are a type of container with a refrigeration unit that enables the transport of temperature-sensitive goods, such as fruit, vegetables, dairy products, chocolate, wine, pharmaceutical products and chemical products.
Although reefers come with an internal refrigeration unit, they rely on external power to run, either in the form of electrical power points on vessels or at the terminals. When they are hooked up to the trucks that transport them, they are powered by diesel generators incorporated on these trailers, known as “gen sets”.
The main porpouse of the reefer containers is to keep the goods at a constant temperature between -25ºC and + 25ºC avoiding peaks that could damage the products.
