VEHICLE FOR THE REFRIGERATED TRANSPORT OF PRODUCTS THE ENERGY CONSUMPTION OF WHICH IS IMPROVED BY INCORPORATING A PHASE-CHANGE MATERIAL INTO THE WALLS OF THE VEHICLE BODY

摘要

A vehicle for the refrigerated transport of products comprising at least one products storage chamber, characterized in that: - one or more panels (4) made from a material of so-called "phase-change" type have been incorporated into the structure of all or part of the walls of at least one of the storage chambers of the lorry; - the phase-change material has a melting point that is just a few degrees higher than the target datum temperature for the chamber in question, preferably 2 to 10°C higher than said datum temperature and more preferably still 3 to 5°C higher than said datum temperature.
