3.2.4
mechanically refrigerated equipment
equipment either fitted with a cooling device, or served jointly with other units of transport equipment
by such an appliance, (fitted with either a mechanical compressor, or an absorption cooling device etc.)
which is capable of lowering the inside temperature at a nominal outside temperature of a
compartment, and thereafter maintaining it, at the required inside temperature
3.2.5
heated equipment
equipment fitted with a heating device, which is capable of raising the inside temperature of a
compartment to, and thereafter maintaining it at a minimum temperature of + 12 °C, with a nominal
outside temperature
3.2.6
partition wall
fixed or movable, longitudinal or transversal, insulated wall also known as bulkhead between different
conditioned and/or unconditioned compartments inside a compartment
3.2.7
cooling device
system which lowers and/or maintains temperature in a compartment
3.2.8
heating device
system which increases and/or maintains temperature in a compartment
3.2.9
start/stop operation
automatic and usually electronic process which stops the thermal engine of the refrigeration system
when one temperature limit is reached and starts when the other one is exceeded
Note 1 to entry: In this mode besides the controller the refrigeration compressor, fans of the condenser and
evaporator are stopped.
