Abstract
A transport temperature control apparatus includes a refrigeration circuit and a heat exchanger having an air inlet and an air outlet in fluid communication with a conditioned space. An evaporator coil extends through the heat exchanger between the inlet and air outlet and is fluidly connected to the refrigeration circuit. A divider defines a first portion of the evaporator coil and a second portion of the evaporator coil. A first fan is housed in the heat exchanger and is adjacent the first portion. The first fan has a first operating condition for directing air across the evaporator coil in a first direction and a first non-operating condition. A second fan is housed in the heat exchanger and is adjacent the second portion. The second fan has a second operating condition for directing air across the evaporator coil in a second direction and a second non-operating condition.
