Icyball is a name given to two early refrigerators, one made by Australian Sir Edward Hallstrom in 1923, and the other design patented by David Forbes Keith of Toronto (filed 1927, granted 1929), [1] [2] and manufactured by American Powel Crosley Jr., who bought the rights to the device.
Thermo King refrigeration unit on a DAF refrigerated truck In 1942, Jones developed the first portable refrigeration units for troops stationed overseas in World War II . Thermo King also introduced the first gasoline-powered mechanical refrigerated boxcars in the 1940s, which reduced shipping costs, making fresh produce more widely available ...
The Tolman Skiff is a boat design of Dory heritage created by Renn Tolman of Homer, Alaska.

In 1996, the Thermo King Model 'C' refrigeration unit, the world's first front-mount refrigeration unit for mobile trucks, was designated an International Mechanical Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. Jones designed and built the prototype from junkyard salvage.
A redundant refrigeration system consists of integrated primary and back-up refrigeration units. If the primary unit malfunctions, the secondary unit automatically starts. To provide reliable power to the refrigeration units, these containers are often fitted with one or more diesel generator sets.
Each reefer container unit is typically designed with a stand-alone electrical circuit and has its own breaker switch that allows it to be connected and disconnected as required. In principle each individual unit could be repaired while the ship was still underway. Refrigerated cargo is a key part of the income for some shipping companies.
Do note, all growth rates are on a normalized and constant currency basis. Starting with revenues. For the full year 2025, we expect top-line growth of 7% to 8%.
Maintenance of marine heat exchangers is important to ensure the small pathways in both types of coolers do not become fouled. Depending on the system different types fouling may occur. In oil based systems, an insufficient amount of cooling medium or inefficient flow of oil through the heater can cause the heater to become fouled.
