Business of Interest: Carrier Transicold Corporation

Carrier Transicold was a global force in the refrigeration section for transportation and I thought it was interesting because it was a competitor of my work company. Carrier Transicold offers the industry's broadest portfolio of container refrigeration, truck, trailer and rail freezing, air conditioning for bus and entertainment vehicles (Carrier Corporation, 2012). The company's equipment provides transportation temperature control solutions to freight transport customers. Transport refrigeration unit (TRU) is a refrigeration system driven by a diesel internal combustion engine designed to cool or heat a perishable product transported in various containers.

David Appel, the president of UTC's operator Transicold & Refrigeration Systems, is only about 10% of the fresh food produced worldwide today. "By introducing cold chain technology there is a great opportunity to reduce food waste and improve food circulation," he said. "But to do this, we need to understand the needs of the community." Companies such as Carrier are progressing in this area. Last year, Career provided funds for researchers at business schools in India to conduct field surveys in India to test cold chain equipment. In cooperation with local producers, they transport fruit from Punjab's punctuality truck to Bangalore. 1,600 miles on bumpy and bumpy road

In order to download temperature measurements over the past 3 to 4 days, the driver may have to go to a refrigerator dealer (ex: Thermo - King, Carrier, TransiCold). The driver / owner - operator then faxes the temperature reading to the office or broker. The broker then forwards this to the customer. This is a driver / owner - operator / carrier 's claim, if the driver is driving a better temperature in the loop (instead of having to do with a continuous driver), insurance includes not

Carriers are offering a totally different solution based on carbon dioxide CO 2. Over the years, the company has used natural refrigerants to build a system portfolio. In the maritime field, Carrier Transicold's NaturaLINE® container refrigeration unit provides a so-called "efficient cooling" solution using carbon dioxide. "When the global warming potential (GWP) is 1, carbon dioxide is very advantageous compared to the global warming potential of synthetic refrigerants used in modern container refrigeration system.R-134a, global warming potential coefficient 1,430, R - 452 A "Global warming potential is 2,140, ​​R - 404 A is GWP 3,922".
