Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed is a container refrigeration apparatus including a unit case of an inside air control system disposed outside a container, the unit case housing an air pump therein. The container refrigeration apparatus is provided with an air inlet unit independent of the unit case. The air inlet unit and the air pump are connected together by a tube. The air inlet unit is provided with a membrane filter, and is disposed above the unit case. Malfunctions of electrical components and corrosion on metallic components due to moisture permeation into the unit case are reduced.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A container refrigeration apparatus which includes an inside air control system configured to supply an interior of a container with a mixed gas, wherein an inlet taking air into an air pump provided to an interior of a unit case of the inside air control system is formed in an air inlet unit independent of the unit case, the air pump and the air inlet unit being connected together by an air tube, and the air inlet unit is provided with an air-permeable, waterproof membrane filter, and is disposed above the unit case of the inside air control system. 2. The container refrigeration apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the unit case of the inside air control system is disposed in a space below a condenser of an external storage space, and the air inlet unit provided with the membrane filter is disposed in a space above the condenser. 3. The container refrigeration apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the space, provided with the air inlet unit, above the condenser is a blowout side space to which the air that has passed through the condenser is blown. 4. The container refrigeration apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the air inlet unit includes an air box to which the membrane filter is attached, and a filter cover which covers the membrane filter from above. 5. The container refrigeration apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the air box of the air inlet unit is disposed on a side of an electrical component box disposed in the space above the condenser.
