Control system for a transport refrigeration system

摘要

A transport refrigeration system includes an engine, a generator set, and a refrigeration system. An electronic control unit and/or a reefer controller are configured to obtain an engine operation condition value and a transport refrigeration system operation value respectively. A genset controller is configured to determine a fuel efficient engine operation speed that is associated with the engine and/or transport refrigeration system operation condition value. The genset controller instructs the electronic control unit to operate the engine at the fuel efficient operation speed.

1. A method of operating a variable speed engine of a transport refrigeration system comprising:
at least one of an electronic control unit (ECU) within the variable speed engine and a transport refrigeration system (TRS) controller obtaining an operation condition value; at least one of the ECU and the TRS controller transmitting the operation condition value to a genset controller, the genset controller being separate from the ECU and the TRS controller; the genset controller obtaining a modeled optimal engine operation speed by fitting the operation condition value to a modeled engine response; and the genset controller sending the modeled optimal engine operation speed to the ECU within the variable speed engine for instructing the variable speed engine to operate at the modeled optimal engine operation speed.
