The most typical type of refrigeration system for containers removes heat from the cargo by cooling the supply air inside the container. Reliable cooling requires both refrigeration equipment and controllers. Klinge systems combine industrial-grade refrigeration hardware, advanced controllers, redundant systems for mission-critical cargo, specialized heat transfer methods (air-cooled for ISO containers, fluid-based for tanks), and ruggedized designs made to withstand extreme and hazardous environments.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions about Refrigerated Containers
Klinge refrigerated containers maintain the quality of perishable cargo by combining active redundant refrigeration, precise temperature control, continuous monitoring, and security‑focused design. Our refrigeration solutions are engineered to prevent temperature drift, equipment failure, or unauthorized access.
Consistent and reliable temperature control requires constant review and management. Klinge dataloggers, satellite communication, and global systems for mobile communications provide ways to monitor, maintain, and document temperature settings throughout the cargo’s journey.
Klinge electric containers can get their power in multiple ways, including shore power (port or terminal plug-in), vessel power (the ship’s onboard electrical system) and diesel powered “genset” generators that provide power during over-the-road trucking or intermodal rail moves. Solar panels may be used to provide auxiliary power for telematics and other communication systems.
Klinge engineers quality temperature control. Our systems use dual full‑capacity refrigeration units, independent generator sets, and microprocessor controllers for ultra‑precise regulation. We offer ATEX‑rated explosion‑proof designs for hazardous environments, global satellite tracking, loud alarms, and rugged construction built for offshore, military, pharma, and chemical applications. This combination of redundancy, durability, and real‑time visibility makes Klinge an advantageous choice for high‑value, temperature‑critical cargo.
