Abstract:
A system for controlling a temperature a within an interior volume of a cargo trailer adapted to transport perishable goods is described herein. The system includes a fluid distribution assembly and a monitoring system. The fluid distribution assembly is configured to selectively channel a flow of cryogenic cooling fluid into the cargo trailer interior volume to facilitate adjusting a temperature within the interior volume. The monitoring system includes at least one sensor for sensing an environmental parameter of the cargo trailer, and a controller coupled to the sensor and to the fluid distribution assembly. The controller is configured to receive a monitoring signal indicative of the sensed environmental parameter, determine an environmental condition of the cargo trailer as a function of the environmental parameter, and provide a notification signal if the determined environmental condition is different than a predefined environmental condition.

Claim (Index 1):
A system for controlling a temperature within an interior volume of a cargo trailer, comprising:\n a fluid distribution assembly including:\n a spray nozzle assembly configured to channel a flow of cryogenic cooling fluid into the interior volume of the cargo trailer; and \n a control valve coupled to the spray nozzle assembly for selectively channeling the flow of cryogenic fluid through the spray nozzle assembly; and \n a monitoring system operatively coupled to the fluid distribution assembly for controlling the flow of cryogenic fluid into the interior volume, the monitoring system comprising: a temperature sensor configured to sense an ambient temperature within the interior volume; and a processor programmed to: initiate a cooling operation including channeling the flow of cryogenic cooling fluid into the interior volume upon detecting a sensed ambient temperature received from the temperature sensor to be less than a predefined temperature; determine a flow rate of cryogenic fluid based on a predefined rate of cooling and the sensed ambient temperature, and operate the fluid distribution assembly to channel the flow of cryogenic fluid into the interior volume at the determined flow rate; monitor the ambient temperature within the interior volume during operation of the fluid distribution assembly and determine an actual rate of cooling as a function of changes in the ambient temperature over a predefined period of time; and operate the control valve to adjust the flow rate of cryogenic fluid to reduce a difference between the actual rate of cooling and the predefined rate of cooling.
