Integrated Reefer News | Page 3 The outcome of the tests is a complete set of comparable kWh consumption data for a wide range of equipment that reflects what is currently available on the market. To MCI, this data can be used for documentation and further development. To our shipping line customers, it demonstrates MCI’s product value and provides them with a reliable reefer energy consumption tool that can be tailored to the individual company profile. “MCI has built the test results into a simulation model that can be adjusted to match the individual reefer shipment profile of each line. In conjunction with its customers, this enables MCI to illustrate the financial and environmental impact of alternative equipment choices”, said Linda Høibye. “In conjunction with its customers, this enables MCI to illustrate the financial and environmental impact of alternative equipment choices. ”Each shipping line has its own loading profile for various frozen and chilled cargos with different settings and levels of usage.
