Why does food in refrigerated trucks go bad

Feb 25,2022View: 136

Many refrigerated truck drivers have experienced the deterioration of the goods during transportation. The first reaction of refrigerated truck drivers is that there is a problem with the truck reefer unit, but the test shows that truck reefer unit is operating normally. So, what causes the deterioration of the goods?

In fact, the refrigerated truck reefer unit is used to maintain the temperature of the goods, which is different from everyone's imagination. Therefore, when loading the goods, you must first cool the goods to reach the transportation temperature. This is very important. At this time, the storage temperature of the goods must be consistent with the transportation temperature. That is to say, the temperature of the goods often changes, and its moisture will be lost. At this time, the goods will go bad.

Excessive loading exceeds the actual requirements of the truck reefer unit, resulting in obstructed air circulation in the compartment and any obstruction around the cargo. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the cargo compartment is ventilated on six sides when loading, and the cargo is prohibited from any obstruction, and good air circulation is maintained. This is the top priority to ensure that the temperature of the cargo reaches the standard during the transportation. If the cargo is blocked, it can directly cause cold (hot) gas to enter the cargo, causing the temperature of the cargo to change.

Ensure that the air return shutter is in good condition, and remember not to block the return air outlet of the evaporator, because insufficient return air can cause irregular cold air circulation and cause icing on the top of the cargo.
