Zusammenfassung:A transport refrigeration system for controlling temperature within a cargo box during transit includes a refrigerant vapor compression unit and a power supply system including a fossil-fueled engine and a thermoelectric generator. The thermoelectric generator is operatively disposed in an exhaust gas flow from the engine to convert heat from the exhaust gas flow into electric current. The electric current generated by the thermoelectric generator may be supplied to a storage battery.
