AN AIR-CARGO CONTAINER AND A MANUFACTURING METHOD OF AN AIR-CARGO CONTAINER

摘要

The present invention discloses an air-cargo container (1), which is equipped with a modular refrigerating unit (24). The refrigerating unit (24) is attachable into the container shell in substantially one piece. Preferably, a control unit (26) for the modular refrigerating unit (24) is also provided as one single module. The refrigerating unit (24) comprises the entire enclosure of an airflow path around an icebox, and is preferably mounted at a small distance from the wall (20) and ceiling (10) of the container (1). Simple positioning elements facilitate the actual positioning and mounting procedure. The refrigerating unit (24) preferably comprises sealing flanges which during mounting by the positioning elements automatically are fitted into elements at the container wall (20). A manufacturing method is also disclosed, which comprises mounting of modular units (24, 26) into a shell of an air-cargo container (1). The mounting is preferably performed by using positioning elements, which guides the modular units (24, 26) into the proper positions.
