Abstract
Some aircraft have cargo compartment temperature control with setting options ranging from just above freezing to normal room temperature. The control is achieved by balancing the skin heat loss with the supply of expended passenger cabin air and, when necessary, the introduction of hot jet engine bleed air through eductors. Skin heat exchangers are used to assist in maintaining the lower temperatures at high (cold) altitudes. Refrigeration techniques. for aircraft rely primarily on precooling, insulated containers, dry ice charged containers, quick handling, and short-time exposure to adverse conditions. The availability of refrigerated warehouses is generally the result of specific market demands and competition.
