It is applied to mechanical cooling devices with forced air circulation evaporator, with or without a heating device. Mechanical refrigeration devices are intended for use with insulated transport equipment. Equipment for the international carriage of perishable foodstuffs shall not be described as ‘insulated’, ‘refrigerated’, ‘mechanically chilled’, ‘heated’ or ‘mechanically chilled and heated’ equipment unless it complies with specified definitions and standards. These are the test steps applied to calculate the cooling capacity of the cooling units in vehicle cabins at the specified temperature value within the scope of ATP type tests. In order to ensure safe shipment of food in line with customer demand, the cooling units in vehicle cabins are tested within the scope of ATP HANDBOOK 2020.

Power Capacity:     W = K x S x Δt
