What is the purpose of item 1 in the TRICON Refrigerated Container System (TRCS)?

The purpose of item 1 in the TRICON Refrigerated Container System (TRCS) is to allow the unit to operate with the doors open while still maintaining a refrigeration effect. This feature is particularly useful when loading or unloading cargo, as it ensures that the temperature inside the container remains stable despite the interruption caused by opening the doors.

Maintaining refrigeration during door openings is essential in preserving the quality of perishable goods, preventing spoilage or temperature fluctuations that could compromise the integrity of the items being stored. Thus, this functionality is critical to the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the refrigerated container system in managing temperature-sensitive cargo.
