ABSTRACT:
A refrigerated mobile trailer is provided that includes a trailer body having an opening present in both its front wall and roof for receiving a transportable refrigeration unit. The refrigeration unit includes a housing having a roof panel and a side panel, a condenser assembly disposed within the housing that includes a condenser coil, an air inlet located in the side panel of the unit housing for receiving ambient air for circulation over the condenser coil and at least one air outlet for discharging circulated air to remove waste heat from the coil. The condenser coil is located adjacent to the roof panel of the refrigeration unit, and all air outlets for removing waste heat from the coil are advantageously located in the unit roof panel directly above the coil. The fact that all of the waste heat air outlets are located in the roof panel advantageously prevents air discharged from these outlets from recirculating back into the condenser air inlet when the mobile trailer is in a stationary position. Such a component arrangement also provides more useable space within the unit housing, which may be used to reduce the unit extension beyond the trailer front wall by 17%.
