The aim of this paper is to investigate thermal stratification in refrigerated container yards through onsite measurement. Measurements were carried out using six refrigerated containers during the summer. Temperature measurement was done by placing thermocouples on all sides of the surfaces of the containers; this also measured the intensity of solar radiation. The containers were conditioned on a basic load without a cooling load arranged in three tiers and two rows. Results indicated that thermal stratification occurred at the gap space between adjoining containers under sunny weather with the intensity of solar radiation reaching 900 W/m2. The temperature difference between the top and bottom surfaces was as high as 5 °C at noon.

本文的目的是通过现场测量研究冷藏集装箱堆场的热分层。在夏季，使用六个冷藏容器进行测量。通过在容器表面的所有侧面上放置热电偶来完成温度测量。这也测量了太阳辐射的强度。容器以基本负载为条件，没有冷却负载，该负载分为三层和两行。结果表明，在阳光明媚的天气下，相邻容器之间的间隙处发生热分层，太阳辐射强度达到900 W / m2。顶表面和底表面之间的温差在中午高达5°C。
