​The Offshore Living Quarter Container provided by TLS is an accommodation, kitchen, dining room, laundry room, studio module for offshore environment that meets DNV2.7-1 and A60 fire protection requirements

For offshore construction and exploration, to assure the construction progress of the project, the construction personnel normally have to live on the ocean for a long time, and the living quarter container is the most economical and convenient living equipment.

Offshore Living Quarter Container can be equipped with fresh water recovery devices to decrease unnecessary waste of fresh water, while at the same time, rainwater from the ocean can be treated into usable fresh water resources. At the same time, the use of solar power generation can fix the problem of electricity consumption in some Offshore Living Quarter Containers, both energy saving and environmental protection.

The Offshore Living Quarter Container can also be equipped with accommodation, meeting rooms, power distribution rooms, locker rooms and other facilities to meet people's daily work and living needs at sea.

What are the common container structures？
Different containers usually have different shapes and structures due to different uses. Let's take a look at the common container structures.

• Dry Containers

The common dry box structure is often used to transport common cargo and is the most common type of container.

• Flat Rack Containers

The sides can be folded, which can accommodate oversized and overweight cargo or machinery, etc.

• Open Top Container

The top can be opened, allowing cargo to be loaded from the top of the container, mainly for placing oversized cargo

• Tunnel Container

Doors open at both ends for easy loading and unloading of items in the box

• Side Opening Container

Containers with open sides for easy loading and unloading

• Tank

The type of container used to transport liquid materials. Most of these containers are made of anti-corrosion materials

• Half Height Containers| Cutting Skip

The size is half the size of a normal dry container. Mainly used for coal, stone and other goods that need to be easily loaded and unloaded.

​In addition to containers used to transport goods, do you know what types of special containers there are?

• Reefer Container| Refrigerated Container

Containers with refrigerated and fresh-keeping functions for transporting or preserving food, medicines and other items.

• Positive Pressure Container

The pressure inside the container is greater than the pressure outside, which can be used in hazardous area/safe area

• Negative Pressure Container

The pressure inside the container is less than the pressure outside, which can be used in areas where the environment inside the container is not safe,but the outside environment is safe

• Energy Storage System (ESS)

An energy storage system, often referred to as an ESS, is a device or group of devices assembled together that can store energy to provide electricity at a later time. Battery ESS is the most common type of new installation

• Lab Container/Workshop Container

A movable office container that can be used in dangerous or safe areas, when the external environment is complex, the internal working environment can be guaranteed to be safe, stable and comfortable

• Accommodation Container

A container for personnel accommodation that is easy to transport and move

• Temporary shelter| Temporary refuge shelter (TR)

In case of external explosions, fire, gas leakage and other dangerous situations, the shelter can provide a safe and reliable refuge for refugees.

• Sewage Treatment Container

Integrated container sewage treatment system, treated sewage can meet the corresponding standards according to customer demand.​

A refrigerated |reefer Container is a closed container with refrigeration equipment and low thermal conductivity materials on the inner wall which is used to transport or preserve fresh fish, fresh meat, frozen food, fruits, vegetables, films, medicines and other required goods. 
Refrigerated containers are also divided into refrigerated containers and insulated containers.

• The reefer container is generally equipped with a built-in refrigeration device at the front end of the container. When the freezer is working, the cold air is blown out from the ventilation pipe at the rear end of the container. Through the gap between the protrusion on the wall and the ventilation rail on the bottom of the container, the cold air suction port on the front end wall is returned to the freezer for circulation.In order to improve the cooling effect, the walls, top and bottom of the entire reefer container are covered with thermal insulation materials. The working temperature of the reefer container is between -28°C and +26°C. It can be automatically adjusted according to the needs of the goods to keep the temperature in the container unchanged.
• Insulation containers are mainly used to load fresh goods such as fruits and vegetables. Generally, a refrigerant such as dry ice is used to prevent the temperature in the box from being too high; the usual holding time is about 72 hours. The inside of the container is completely heat-resistant.

Tips: 
Livestock and poultry meat
Include cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks, geese, etc. Usually, meat reaches a dormant state below -18°C, and if it is below -23°C, the refrigeration period can be doubled.

Frozen fish and aquatic products
The storage time of fish and seafood is closely related to temperature. Under normal conditions, the freezing period increases by a factor of 3 for every 10°C decrease in temperature. Low-fat fish has a shorter freezing period, while muscle red fish has a shorter freezing period.

Chocolate products
Shippers often ask to check that the humidity is set to 65%. Depending on the variety of chocolate, the temperature is usually between 8°C and 18°C.

Temperature control products
Goods that require temperature stability during transportation, such as films, medicines, food, etc. To avoid clumping and deterioration, the temperature was set between -2°C and 30°C.

Dangerous goods and harmful goods
Reefer containers maintain high standards and maintain quality for the transport of dangerous or sensitive cargo. This type of refrigerated container is distinguished by a particular color and logo.
​
Mixed refrigerated goods
Generally, it should be avoided to mix all kinds of fresh fruits and vegetables in the reefer container. Due to the volume, variety, cost and other reasons, pay attention to the temperature during transportation, Fruits and vegetables are mixed in containers. The closer the refrigeration temperature is, the better.

CPFG is divided into three working modes: manual mode, bypass mode and automatic mode. Turn the mode selector switch to the corresponding mode, at the same time, HMI face change will switch to the corresponding mode. The operation instructions of each mode are as follows:
 
Manual mode: only for emergency use, only the HMI "STOP" button/ESD signal/Cut-off signal can stop the output of safety power supply.
Bypass mode: Only can be used in safe area, make sure no dangerous gas and fire alarm start the safety power supply.
Auto mode: Can be used for normal use in dangerous area.
