1-15. Installation and Relocation
a. Siting.
(1) Transport. The refrigerated container system is designed for highway, railway and
water transport of perishable materials. Transport the refrigerated container system
only on equipment compatible with DTR 4500.9-R and MCO P4600.7_ transport
requirements.
(2) Fixed Site. Although there are no specific siting requirements for the placement of the
Large Field Refrigeration System, there are several factors that should be considered
during site selection. Place the LFRS on firm, flat, and level ground. Choose a site
that is firm and dry, away from any potential flood areas, and clear of trees that may
create problems in high winds. The site must be free of debris. The ground should
be level, varying no more than three (3) inches in ten (10) feet on unprepared soil. To
prevent the danger of excess exposure to moisture, do not site the LFRS near a water
feature. Consider condensate drainage from the RU when siting. Also consider the
need for power. Place the LFRS close enough to an appropriate power source so
that the unit may be operated properly. Consider the need for vehicular and
personnel access. Vehicle access and proximity to a roadway is important. However,
concealment and other factors may be more important. Place the container so that
the single swing door can be fully opened and personnel can load the container with
the least amount of interference. Ensure that container placement allows for
vehicular access as needed.
b. Input Requirements.
Power. There are two different power installation options available to operate the LFRS:
(1) 380/460 VAC, 3 phase. Black cable.
(2) 190/220 VAC, 3 phase. Yellow cable.
Ensure the proper cable is used based on voltage available.
c. Installation Procedure.
When siting the LFRS set up the container as follows:
(1) Site the LFRS on flat, level, and stable ground.
(2) Consider the need for electrical connections when selecting a site. The container
should be sited near an appropriate power source.
(3) Consider vehicular and personnel traffic. Site the container so that the door may be
fully opened and personnel may easily gain access to the interior of the container.
Keep vehicles from driving over power cables.
(4) Use the forklift pockets to lift the container. Ensure correct forklift capacity and
capability.
(5) Move the container into place with two personnel, one to drive the forklift and move
the container and the other to assist and ensure proper placement.
(6) Once properly sited, uncoil and remove the plug end of the power cord from the
bottom right corner of the RU and connect to the power source.
