ABSTRACT:
A method for controlling a transport refrigeration system is provided that advantageously avoids the top-freezing of items stored in a conditioned space without the need for modulating the flow of refrigerant through the heater-evaporator coil that heats and cools the space. The method includes the steps of operating the refrigeration system in a cooling mode at high speed for no more than 300.degree. minutes below the temperature set point of the conditioned space to rapidly cool the space. Next, the system is operated in a low speed heating mode in order to raise the temperature of the conditioned space to no more than about 5.degree. F. above set point in order to avoid top-freezing items in the conditioned space. Thirdly, the refrigeration system is operated in a low speed cooling mode to reattain a temperature set point assigned to the conditioned space. If necessary, these three basic steps of the method may be reiterated in order to stabilize the temperature of the space at set point. The method is particularly applicable to refrigeration systems capable of cooling or heating multiple conditioned spaces.
