Abstract
In the conversion of a container vessel from the standard 20-ft container into high cube reefer container, maximum number of container is accommodated with an improved ventilation system. For the proper ventilation system, each duct has been modelled in 3D and analysed using CFD to make sure that defined airflow is achieved. Each hold is modelled with structure, containers, fan, duct and natural outlet to remove the heated air. Using CFD simulations, duct design was improved and hot spots were removed by modifying the grid opening in duct and few changes in structures to circulate the air easily towards an outlet.
