INTRODUCTION Solar PV panels mounted on the roof of a trailer

were used to power a refrigeration system. This application was for the delivery of

refrigerated food products by a supermarket chain. These solar refrigerated trailers are designed to

maintain refrigerated conditions for a period of roughly six hours a day only, and do not haul frozen product.

GENERAL APPLICATION TRUCK TRAILER FOR FOOD

MARINE REFERIGERATION

AIR TRASPORT REFERIGERATION

CONTENT APPLICATION DAIRY PRODUCT TRANSPORT

VEGITABLE TRANSPORT

FOOD TRANSPORT

BAKERY PRODUCT TRANSPORT

ECONOMIC FACTORS The high cost of diesel fuel.

The high cost of the diesel system maintenance.

The noise generated by the diesel engines during night-time delivery in residential areas.

COST ESTIMATION The estimated operating cost of the solar powered

refrigeration system should be significantly lower than that of the diesel system. The major maintenance/cost items on the solar powered system will be :

1. Refrigeration system service2. Electronic system component replacement3.Auxiliary Power Unit fuel/service4.Insurance

SUMMARY With the advancement of industrialization, people are living

far away from the food production areas; and are thickly populated into the industrial areas.

This dislocation of population requires proper means for food preservation and distribution without its spoilage.

The food preservation technology has developed sufficiently to preserve the wide variety of foods for a considerable long time as near the point of freshness as possible.
