Abstract:
A method and apparatus is disclosed for starting and stopping a generator set that supplies power to a refrigeration system. An ambient temperature sensor is used rather than an in-box sensor in addition to a programmed microprocessor to regulate the operation of the generator. Unnecessary use of the generator is, thereby, limited which contributes to cost, energy and equipment savings and a cleaner environment while ensuring the required in-box temperature is maintained and the quality of perishable goods are not compromised.
