Instructions for additional equipment related to refrigeration units such as CA, MA and humidity controllers.

• CA is short for Controlled Atmosphere.  It is an auxiliary facility that controls the levels of CO2 and O2 in the container.  The container should be airtight and have a nitrogen generator and source of carbon dioxide (such as a carbon dioxide compressed air bottle or scrubber). In both cases, the oxygen content is controlled by ventilation.
• MA stands for Modified Atmosphere.  This means that the container has an interface into which the mixed gas is injected before shipping.  During transport, the air composition in the container is no longer controlled.
• Humidifier can use a water source or condensate from an evaporator to humidify the circulating air. Dehumidification can be achieved by evaporative heating devices or chemical reactions. The humidity inside the chamber can only be adequately controlled if both dehumidification and humidification are available.

Negative air pressure is a safe containment solution in which more air is taken in than is expelled.
Negative air pressure in the environment does not mean that the actual pressure is negative because, according to science, absolute pressure can never be less than zero. Negative air pressure means that the pressure within an environment is less than the pressure of its surroundings. As air flows from high pressure to low pressure, this difference in pressure level acts as a vacuum effect and causes air to flow in from the outside.
The negative air system produces a vacuum effect or a direction of air flow into the space by creating and maintaining the air pressure differential. In doing so, it restricts the spread of contaminants such as dust and mould and pollutants such as bacteria and viruses from the controlled space to the outside.
This system traps dangerous and infectious particles in the air and removes them by means of a blower and a group of filters.
In summary, when the external environment is safe, but toxic and harmful gases are generated inside, negative pressure is preferred

Offshore containers should be inspected regularly every year. Regular inspections should be performed on the inside and outside of the container when it is empty. TLS has prepared tips for you to check including:

1. Inspection of signs and nameplates.
2.  Weld inspection of main structural members to confirm that there are no visible defects.
3.  Inspection of lifting lugs and lashing points for deformation, mechanical damage, or other dangerous defects.
4.  Inspect all structures for corrosion, deformation, mechanical damage, or other dangerous defects.
5. Check the condition of the container floor, including the bottom drainage facilities and drainage holes.
6.  Check for corrosion and mechanical damage inside the fork pockets (where applicable).
7. Check the door, frame, seal, hinge, door lock, etc., and confirm the opening and closing of the door.

1.Keeps the temperature cold
The refrigeration unit distributes cold air through the floor of a refrigerated container  The floor of the container has slots, also known as T-shaped covers. This T-shaped cover allows a constant supply of cold air around the shipment.
 
If you are considering using a refrigerated container, you should be aware that it cannot reduce the temperature of your goods. A refrigerated container only maintains the desired temperature. Therefore, you will have to pre-cool your cargo to the temperature you want the reefer to maintain.
 
2.The genset provides electricity
Genset is short for generating set. It provides electricity to the refrigeration unit to operate. A refrigerator is usually connected to a power source on ships. But in the case of extremely sensitive cargoes that could spoil outside a temperature range, gensets provide a back-up power source. It is best to use a refrigerator equipped with a genset to ensure the safety of the cargo.
 
3.Ventilation keeps cargo cool
The purpose of a refrigerated container is to keep the cargo cool. Fruit and vegetables release heat, water, and CO₂. If these gases are not removed, they can damage the cargo leading to uncontrolled ripening, ageing, and altered taste. For this reason, refrigerators are kept ventilated with fresh air.

To facilitate the loading and unloading of the cargo, the bottom of TLS offshore containers is usually designed with fork pockets, which are required as follows:
1. If provided, the fork pockets shall be arranged in the bottom structure with the top closed to penetrate the bottom and prevent the offshore container from overturning from the fork tine.
2. The net opening size of the fork pocket of the offshore container shall not be less than 200mm×90mm.
3. Considering the length, height, width, and rated weight of the offshore container, the position of the fork pocket should ensure the stability of the container when it is transported by the forklift. The fork pockets should be as far apart as possible, generally not less than 900 mm from the center, but not more than 2,050 mm.
4. The bottom plate of the fork pockets can be closed completely, but openings are recommended for maintenance and to reduce the risk of loose items being left in the fork pockets, thereby preventing items from falling during the lifting process. Where openings are provided, the size and position of the opening should be set to avoid jamming or being damaged by the tines The opening at the bottom of the fork pockets are not allowed at the bottom side rails, and the distance between the opening and the bottom side rails should not be less than 200mm.
5. The weakening of vertical shear strength of bottom side rails by fork pockets opening should be taken into account when calculating the bottom side rails strength. In general, a reinforcement plate should be attached to the top of the bottom side rail. The reinforcement plate should be in the same plane as the bottom side rails web. The reinforcement plate should be extended by at least 100mm at both ends. At this point, the weld between the reinforcement plate and the bottom side rail should be completely melted through.

Energy storage is the process of storing energy through a medium or device and releasing it when it is needed. When we talk about energy storage, we are mainly referring to the storage of electrical energy. In fact, energy storage itself is not an emerging technology, but from an industrial point of view it is in its infancy and development stage. Energy storage technology is a key node for future energy systems to be flexible, inclusive, and balanced.

• System stability is ensured by the energy storage and buffering of the energy storage system, which allows the system to operate at a stable output level even in the event of rapid load fluctuations.
• Energy for back-up, energy storage systems can act as a back-up and transition in the event that clean energy generation is not operating properly.
• Improving power quality and reliability, energy storage systems also prevent voltage spikes, voltage drops, and grid fluctuations caused by external disturbances on the load from having a major impact on the system, and the use of a sufficient number of energy storage systems ensures the quality and reliability of the power output.

TLS containerized energy storage system (BESS) is the perfect solution for large-scale energy storage projects. The energy storage containers can be used in the integration of various storage technologies and for different purposes.

ROV stands for Remotely Operated Vehicle; ROVs are unoccupied, highly mobile underwater machines that can be used to explore the depths of the ocean while being operated by a person on the surface.
Remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) allow us to explore the ocean without actually being in it. These underwater machines are usually controlled by a person on a surface vessel, using a joystick in a similar way to play a video game. A set of cables or tethers connects the ROV to the ship, sending electrical signals back and forth between the operator and the vehicle.
ROVs have made exploration of several deep-sea gas and oil reserves much easier because many oil reserves are difficult for divers to find.
Precisely because of the uses and characteristics of ROVs, the TLS ROV cabin is designed to provide personnel with the facility to operate the ROV in a safe, comfortable, and climate-controlled environment.
 
The TLS ROV cabins are equipped to a high standard and specification. We can design the equipment requirements internally to your specifications to achieve the most space efficient layout. Units can be modified or customized to meet customer requirements.

1.How to deal with the insulation problem of accommodation containers in high temperature climate?
The most popular insulation material for container homes is rock wool. Rock wool products are made of high-quality basalt and dolomite as the main raw materials. After melting at a high temperature above 1450°C, the fiber is formed by high-speed centrifugation using the world's advanced four-axis centrifuge. Pendulum method, plus three-dimensional cotton laying method, curing and cutting to form a thermal insulation layer. So don't worry about insulation.

2. Does the container house need a foundation?
The shipping container house can choose a natural base.
When the bearing capacity of the foundation soil of the ground floor house is less than 60kPa or the bearing capacity of the multi-storey house structure is less than 100kPa, and the foundation soil is soft soil or the foundation is poor, the foundation treatment should be carried out. implement.
