Abstract
A transport refrigeration unit (TRU) for a transport refrigeration system (TRS) is described. The TRU can be configured to have an upper compartment to accommodate a compressor and an engine, and a condenser compartment that is generally positioned below the upper comportment. The condenser compartment can include a condenser and a fan at a bottom portion of the condenser compartment. The fan can be configured to blow air out of the condenser compartment in a downward direction from the bottom portion of the condenser compartment. The TRU can also have an evaporator compartment that is generally positioned behind the condenser compartment. The evaporator compartment can accommodate an evaporator that is generally positioned below the upper compartment. The evaporator compartment can have an air inlet and an air outlet that is positioned higher than the air outlet. In operation, airflow through the evaporator compartment is directed in a downward direction.
