Despite variable heat leakages which may occur in various parts of the system, and the unavoidable increase in the circulating air temperature at return compared with delivery.The circulating cooling air should therefore only be required to remove respiratory heat of the produce and the heat exchanged via exterior surfaces. A high velocity of circulating air should be unnecessary and in fact undesirable. Cooling air in modern refrigerated vessels and containers is usually circulated vertically, from the deck/floor, upwards.
