Abstract (en)

[origin: CA3223509A1] In a first, mobile operating state of a refrigerated vehicle (1), which is equipped with a storage region for the transport of refrigerated products in order to maintain the cold chain, the products are transported, wherein the refrigerant for cooling the storage region is drawn from a refrigerant tank (4) disposed on the refrigerated vehicle (1). According to the invention, in a second, stationary operating state of the refrigerated vehicle (1), the refrigerant for cooling the storage region (2) is drawn from a stationary storage tank (24), the refrigerant tank (4) being bypassed. Thus, long breaks in operation, for example at the weekend, can be bridged, so that the cold chain can be maintained without the need to transfer products which are to be refrigerated out of the refrigerated vehicle.
