What Is a Refrigerated Van?
A refrigerated van, also known as a van fridge, freezer van or chiller van, is a specialised type of vehicle that is equipped with a refrigeration system. This system allows the van to transport temperature-sensitive goods such as food, pharmaceuticals, and other perishable items in a controlled environment.
How Do Refrigerated Vans Work?
Refrigerated vans work by using a refrigeration system to maintain a constant temperature inside the van. This is achieved through the use of insulation, compressors, and evaporators.
The insulation helps to keep the cold air inside the van and prevent warm air from entering. The compressor is responsible for compressing and condensing refrigerant gas, which then flows through the evaporator. The evaporator then absorbs the heat from inside the van and releases it outside, keeping the temperature cool and constant.
Refrigerated vans or trucks can be custom-built to suit your specific business needs and requirements. The installation process typically involves fitting the refrigeration system onto a standard van chassis, creating a seamless, tailored and integrated unit.
