August 28, 2026

Reefer Temperature Control Chill Mode (Cargo : Fresh Durian)

Turn on reefer container, set point temperature is 12 degree C, reefer container supply temperature quickly drops. The return temperature is 34c.

After 24 hours of operation, the container supply air temperature is 15c and return air temperature is 21c. The cargo is fresh durian and takes very long to cooldown.

After another 8 hours (32 hours from reefer turning on), the container supply air temperature reaches the set point, 12c, and will remain 12c. The return air temperature is 18c.

After another 11 hours (43 hours from reefer turning on), reefer supply air remains at 12c (same as the set point) while the return air slowly drops and reaches 15c. In Chill mode, the reefer will supply air at set point temperature, in this case 12c.
