Talk:Refrigerated container

Terminology

I work for a steamship line and we use the word "terminal" in place of "quay."

While a reefer will have an integral refrigeration unit, they rely on external power, from electrical power points at a land based site, a container ship or on quay.

I'm not exactly sure whether the British or American term should be used in this article. --68.59.21.227 01:53, 29 June 2007 (UTC) KeplerNiko

Reefer Cargo

In my opinion, the last few paragraphs lead one to believe that reefers are used only for consumable food products. Reefers, in fact, carry a variety of loads, and though a large portion may be those types of things, there are lots of chemicals and other substances that have to be transported in a temperature-controlled environment. --68.59.21.227 01:53, 29 June 2007 (UTC) KeplerNiko

Temperature

Although "reefer" is shorthand for "refrigerated," containers that maintain cargo at a temperature above "normal" temperatures are also called reefers. I recently saw booking information for a container to be shipped at 85 degrees Celsius, and it was classified as a reefer. --68.59.21.227 01:53, 29 June 2007 (UTC) KeplerNiko

Size

Information (internal and external dimensions, empty weight, max gross weight etc) about the most common types of reefers is needed here. Amit Upadhyay 13:45, 24 March 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Qx2020 (talk • contribs)

What size doe reefers come in? internal and dexternal dimensions please. 198.28.69.5 (talk) 13:42, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Explanation of Refrigeration Technology

The information given in the article is inaccurate. I just talked to my supplier, who informed me that they use R22 (chlorodifluoromethane) and R134A (1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane) in most intermodal reefer containers. Not sure what the "water process" or "CO₂ process" are all about. If someone in the refrigeration trade could expand this part of the article, it would be very useful. 208.181.89.110 (talk) 20:41, 31 July 2008 (UTC)(no username)

Reefer rail transport

Information (energy source, cooling/time-constraints, double-stack on railcar feasibility) on the rail transport of reefer is needed. The reefer loading in double-stack on flat railcars in not permitted in India. Amit Upadhyay 02:06, 25 March 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Qx2020 (talk • contribs)

Article title

Reefer (container) redirects to this article that is about intermodal refrigerated shipping containers. With over a half a million "reefers" in the trucking industry (box vans and semi trailers), beginning in 1940 with U.S. Thermo Control Company's (Thermo King) first units, and shortly thereafter the refrigerated boxcars, this article can be merged with Refrigerator truck, renamed, and include shipping containers, truck reefers, and some on refrigerated boxcars, which will allow expansion.
