ABSTRACT:
A transport refrigeration system suitable for narrow post highway trailers in which the refrigeration system intrudes into the trailer cargo space only to the extent necessary to direct trailer air into an evaporator. The evaporator is completely serviceable external to the trailer, with its inlet surface being substantially co-planar with the inside surface of the front wall of the trailer. An air delivery unit is manufactured as an integral assembly and mounted in a main support frame of the transport refrigeration system without requiring further adjustment. Mounting of the air delivery unit completes a plenum chamber for the evaporator, placing an axially narrow blower into an air flow path in which the blower draws trailer air through the evaporator and forces conditioned air back into the trailer. Mounting of the air delivery unit also places a fan into an air flow path in which outside air is directed upwardly through a condenser, and laterally through an engine radiator.
