Abstract
A transport refrigeration unit of the mechanical refrigeration type and including a start-stop mode of operation is driven by an engine 20 which is coupled through belt 34 to a common shaft 32 for the condenser fan 26 and evaporator fan 30, through a clutch 38 which is selectively operable to drive the shaft 32 when the engine 20 is operating, and to decouple from the shaft 32 when the engine 20 is not operating so that ram air pressure to the condenser fan will in turn drive the evaporator fan to provide at least some air circulation in the interior space of the trailer.
