Refrigerated Transport Technology (Asia)
Considering that all new reefer containers are being produced in China and facing the growing demand for cold chain solutions across Asia, WUR experts will host the Refrigerated Transport Technology Asia Edition. This event is designed for professionals seeking answers to key questions, such as: How do transport refrigeration systems work? What are the best strategies to make refrigerated transport more environmentally friendly? How do packaging and stowage methods impact temperature variations? What factors contribute to dehydration and condensation? How can gas conditions (like oxygen, carbon dioxide, and ethylene) be effectively managed? What are the ideal defrost intervals and humidity levels for optimal performance? This course offers answers to these questions and equips you with the knowledge needed to excel in the field of refrigerated transport.
Target audience
This course is tailored to professionals in transport refrigeration, including cargo surveyors, transport equipment designers, and decision-makers or advisors on packaging and cargo stowage. It is also designed for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the factors that impact transport conditions and energy efficiency in refrigerated logistics. The content is especially relevant for those managing perishable goods such as fruits, meat, seafood, flowers, and temperature-sensitive products like pharmaceuticals.
