Construction of a 40-Foot HC Refrigerated Container

A 40-foot sea refrigerated container has two main structural components:

1. Sealed durable body
2. Refrigeration unit

The body of a 40-foot refrigerated container consists of a load-bearing frame and insulation—polyurethane foam.

The doors are made of stainless steel with polyurethane foam filling and reliable locks, ensuring excellent tightness and convenient closing.

The refrigeration unit, located at the end section, maintains an internal temperature range from +30°C to -30°C, operating on three-phase power with 380/460 V and 50/60 Hz.

The innovative control system automatically maintains the required temperature parameters, humidity levels, and defrosting intervals, monitors the operation of main units, and records any malfunctions or operational failures.

You can now purchase or rent a sea refrigerated container of 40, 45, 20, and 10 feet, primarily using refrigerants ("Freon") R-134A and R-404.

Detailed dimensions of a 40-foot refrigerated container:

1. Length: ~12.0/11.7 m
2. Width: ~2.43/2.28 m
3. Height: ~2.9/2.6 m
4. Volume: ~67 m³

Advantages: Optimal ratio of size to capacity, ideal for medium cargo volumes and convenient for logistics.

Principle of Operation of a 40-Foot Sea Refrigerated Container

Air with a specific temperature is supplied from the refrigeration unit into the container at floor level, then passes along the T-shaped floor profiles, rises along the doors at the end of the container to the ceiling, and then circulates along the ceiling back to the refrigeration unit. Air circulation inside a 40-foot refrigerated container ensures even distribution of temperature and humidity.

Since refrigerated containers made of aluminum alloy and stainless steel last a long time, purchasing a new 40-foot insulated container is often not justified—used containers are significantly cheaper and nearly as good as new ones.

Currently, the sale of 40-foot refrigerated containers in Ukraine is quite common, as the country has access to the sea and a well-developed railway system. Therefore, it is more practical to buy your own 40-foot refrigerated container rather than paying rent for stationary warehouses, which is always convenient for small and medium-sized businesses.

The internet is increasingly filled with ads saying “selling used 40-foot refrigerated container.” Does this mean the equipment is being sold due to poor condition or other factors affecting proper operation? The main reason for selling used refrigerated containers is often that the owners no longer need them. Companies and entrepreneurs decide to upgrade their equipment or switch to other options. If you cannot determine the condition of a refrigerated container, it is advisable to seek assistance from specialists who can tell you how long the freezer container will last and provide information on its remaining service life. Additionally, specialists from such companies often offer tank container repair.
