This book examines the performance of seven mechanically refrigerated rail cars, with one ice-cooled car for comparison, all of differing designs, created by the US Government in the 1950s. The book delves into the specifics of each car's construction, insulation, and refrigeration unit, providing detailed specifications and test results. The author provides a thorough analysis of each car's performance, including its body heat transmission rate, refrigerating unit capacity, and air flow. The study reveals significant variations in performance among the cars, highlighting the need for standardized industry-wide testing methods for rating refrigerated rail cars. The book concludes by discussing the broader implications of these findings for improving the design and operation of mechanically refrigerated rail cars. This book is a valuable resource for professionals involved in the design, manufacturing, or operation of refrigerated rail cars, as well as researchers interested in the history of refrigeration technology. It offers a wealth of technical data and insights into the factors that influence the performance of these essential transportation assets.
