A COMPLETELY self-contained type of DisChil refrigeration system has been developed by Distillers Chemicals and Plastics Ltd., and an example of the new unit will be shown on a special refrigerated Freightmaster van on the York stand (108) at Earls Court this month.
As the drawing shows, the DisChil unit is slung completely outside the load area and once filled with liquid carbon dioxide it operates without any external power source; operation to achieve set temperature limits is quite automatic, the carbon dioxide being injected into the body as a gas through roof and floor nozzles. A lowpressure line feeds a door-operated control valve which renders the system inoperative when the door is opened.
On the Freightmaster exhibited, the DisChil cabinet measures 6 ft. 4 in. by 2 ft. 6 in. by 2 ft. 6 in. and the pressure vessel has a capacity of 750 lb.
