General Information
Insulated containers are essentially refrigerated containers, but they do not have their own refrigeration unit. Instead, they are supplied with cold air through two valve openings in the front end by external cooling devices or onboard units. This type of container is also known as a "Porthole Unit."
Since this type of container has not been produced for many years, used containers are typically the only option available. Therefore, refrigerated containers with defective or partially defective refrigeration units are repurposed as insulated containers. In this process, the refrigeration unit is usually completely removed, and the open front wall is sealed with original insulated panels.
Applications
Insulated containers can be used for a variety of applications, such as:
- Storage for temperature-sensitive goods.
- Heat chambers for wood processing (wood drying).
- Stationary cold storage (see refrigerated containers for stationary use).
- Shelter for machinery and equipment.
