Abstract

In the use of refrigerated containers, it is important to control the airflow and temperature of the cargo room to maintain the cooling performance. The aim of this study is to the simulation of airflow distribution inside the high cube refrigerated container by means of computational fluid dynamics. The simulation of airflow distribution simulation was carried out on the two variation of inlet velocity i.e., low-speed fan mode at 32 circulations/hour and high-speed mode at 80 circulations/hour. The results show that airflow distribution in the high-speed fan mode can reach 78 percent of the total length of the refrigerated container, while in the low-speed fan mode show airflow distribution only reaches 52 percent of the total length of the refrigerated container. The results of this study are useful in planning the arrangement of refrigerated cargo carried.
