Cold, heavy, refrigerated air always flows out and away from the front of the reefer along bottom through the Ts. It hits the back doors, then moves up and along the top of the reefer back to the A/C unit, where it cycles over again and again. It does not flow from out of the top and return on the floor as stated here. It's possible some 18 wheeler type reefers operate like this, but not shipping containers.
Correct, tractor trailer unit's operate in such a way. There are inflatable tubes, well tarp like tubes which stretch throughout the reefer unit and disperse air from the back to all the way to the front to be cycled back through the evaporator.
This is good information. I have one question for you. We got contract to wash these containers in new zealand. If you check your video 4:07 . You can see black streaks on paint. They are not come of with pressure wash . I think they bake on the paint. Is there any good chemical to help come off easily? At this stage we use buffer and aggressive pad with compound to remove them . The result is satisfying but take too long to finish both sides. I can email more info if you need. Any suggestions will be helpful.
I know CN and CP rail would acid wash their painted aluminum 53's that had diesel grime on them. Have you tried that? I know what stain you're talking about and not sure it's from the same source.
This is excellent information. I love the alarms. I'm curious if I can put an insulated partition in there to have half deep freeze and the second half "refrigerated" side for normal foods unfrozen.
It depends on your area. I honestly don't deal with purchasing or sales anymore so I don't know the current cost. I'd have to ask my purchaser. Pre Covid I think they were around $30,000 USD. I be they're over 40 now.
What do we call the two steel bars (curved like a 'C' with many rivets in them) that are attached to the connection of the ceiling and the left panel, as well as the right panel, running parallel to the length of the container (20 or 40-foot reefer container)? Are they called internal ceiling reinforcement or roof stringers?
Thanks for the great info. Just bought two non-functioning reefer containers for workshops. So... how to remove the reefer wall unit if you want a pass-thru, or just to get some real-estate back?
Hi my plan is storage fish container can I use solar panel 40ft? And how many did I need solar. If frozen 🥶 point did I need ice machine? Thanks 🙏🏽 help this 3 question.
Great video. Does the roof on this style need the same structural support as a regular can or more? You mentioned how load the fan is. I wonder if it could be replaced with a quieter fan blade and not loose to much performance.
I would like to know what would my electric bill be for a month using a container refrigerator. I plan to leave it on 24/7 just like a normal refrigerator. What will my electric bill be? Approximately?
So this one is top of the line I’m assuming. I just started researching them and saw you can buy something used for 5-8 thousand. Is that accurate? I’m also a class A driver so it’s just a matter of time before I bump into the right situation.
There is alot of info on your site and other sites on regular container builds, but why is there next to nothing on reefer containers across the entire web???
We have 3 or 4 videos on reefers. Reefers are not standardized like 20's and 40's. There's a lot of variance in the design and construction over the last 20 years so you never know what you're going to get. If you have one and need help, send us lots of pics of it to mods@thecontainerguy.ca and I'll try my best to walk you through your mod.
@@TheContainerGuyTV Awesome, thanks. We are building in Costa Rica over the next 5 years as funds are available. Love your site and the info you provide...
@@emery3887 I'm in Dominican right now and trying to learn/figure out what is best for you. I think the same building envelope for the arctic is what you want for the tropics. I would give the container a good coat of 2 component polyurethane paint immediately then monitor it every year for rust or just plan to apply a cost of paint each year. Seems like they are constantly painting things down here to avoid rust. The outside is likely more vulnerable than the inside. Make sure you have a Heat Pump Air Conditioner and the condensate line is draining outside. The Senville units on Amazon.ca are amazing. You can use a Mysa thermostat and control it from anywhere in the world if you have internet.
An unfortunately large amount of misinformation here, mixed in with some good. stuff. Do better research, and make sure that you have the key to the door!

amazing video. I'm your fan ＋👍🔔
Good explanation 😃
THANK YOU SO MUCH. I LOVE IT!!! PERFECT!!!
Great video. How air-tight are these reefers? Can they be converted into a vacuum chamber?

Do they have 60 foot versions. And can you clearly describe "expensive". $20,000 or $80,000?

It would be tricky to balance the cooler temperature. Can probably do it with fans moving air through the partition wall when cold is needed.

What so you think about Shipping Container vs Semi Truck Trailers.

@@TheContainerGuyTV how much it cost
Do you have one in KSA JEDDAH
Great video 👍.
Please could you inform me how am I going to buy one for myself and the price of one,,?
Thanks 🙏
All the ones I worked on exhausted out the bottom and returned in the top.
Can we use the clim on heat mod ?
Hello this Blaise from Uganda
How can I get a cheaper or used container of that kind
Please guide me
Check your local shipping container company
Hi, I’d like to have a reefer for my business.
Can I know how much it cost to have one, (either 20ft or 40ft)
buddy!hiya!! bset shots!talk you later~
what's the price?
Great info. It’s so frustrating to hear you mention the high price four times but never actually give a hint about the ballpark price.
If I would have, it would have been 2x what they are worth today. Prices have been EXTREMELY volatile since Covid
