There are 3 standard types of reefer container: closed, modified / controlled atmosphere (MA/CA), and automatic fresh air management (AFAM). It is important to utilise the correct type of temperature-controlled unit for the commodity that is being transported.
Closed reefer containers are sealed units with electric cooling / heating capabilities. These do not have ventilation or air exchange systems.
Modified / controlled atmosphere (MC/CA) units have the capability to replace lost oxygen in the container through a gas exchange system.
Automatic fresh air management (AFAM) temperature-controlled units regulate oxygen, carbon dioxide, and other gases.
