Abstract

Simulation model of dynamic behaviour of refrigerated products has ben based on the developed mathematical model, constructional characteristics of the tested container, its refrigeration plant and characteristics of refrigerated products. The model presented is a part of dynamic model of the complete ship’s refrigerated container system, whose individual subsystems are refrigerated products, container wall, refrigerated humid air in the container, condensation unit, evaporator, container outfit, evaporator fan and defroster heater. The research has been conducted on a 12,2-metre (40-foot) refrigerated container. The method of System Dynamics and Powersim simulation program have been used for modelling and simulation. The dynamic model of the refrigerated products in a ship’s refrigerated container has been verified and conformed by the comparison of simulation results with empirical qualitative data.
