A transportation refrigeration unit () to provide a flow of supply air to a selected space includes a compressor to compress a flow of refrigerant and an engine () powered by a flow of fuel and operably connected to the compressor to drive the compressor. An evaporator circulates the flow of refrigerant therethrough to cool the supply air and includes a substantially unitary evaporator housing () having a supply air inlet opening () and a supply air outlet opening (). An evaporator coil () is located in the evaporator housing, the flow of refrigerant circulating across the evaporator coil. An evaporator fan () is located in the evaporator housing to urge the supply airflow into the evaporator housing via the supply air inlet opening (), across the evaporator coil () and out of the evaporator housing through the supply air outlet opening (). The evaporator fan () can be located upstream or downstream of the evaporator coil ().

Transport refrigeration unit

A tool assists with maintenance of a belted sheave system. The sheave system includes a belt, a support structure, and a rotational component including a housing detachably engaged to the support structure and a sheave mounted for rotation to the housing and about an axis. The tool includes a rod constructed and arranged to rigidly mount to the support structure with a centerline disposed substantially parallel to the axis. A bracket of the tool is constructed and arranged to be engaged to the housing and is in sliding contact with the rod.

Tool for use with a belted sheave system and method of use

A truck () is provided including an engine (), a cabin, and a conditioned spaced () defined by a plurality of adjacent wall members including a front wall member (). A transport refrigeration unit is configured to control a temperature within the conditioned space include an evaporator unit () and a condenser unit (). The evaporator unit () is mounted within the conditioned space (). The condenser unit () is operably coupled to the evaporator unit () and is mounted to an exterior surface () of the front wall member (). The condenser unit () is configured to move slidably between an operating position and a clearance position.
