AB - This paper applies the phase-change cold storage technology to refrigerated  transportation to reduce the energy consumption. Experiment data showed that  the electronic expansion valve can be randomly adjusted to simulate the  temperature within negative 25°C to negative 5°C, and a system for  defrosting at low temperature and auxiliary refrigeration based on  phase-change thermal energy storage of diethylene glycol were developed to  guarantee the reliability of the cold chain system.
