Abstract

There is provided an active controlled atmosphere (CA) system for a transport container. The transport container includes a cargo storage space. The CA system comprises: a gas concentration sensor, a nitrogen source including an outlet configured for the introduction of nitrogen-containing gas into the cargo storage space, a fan operable to circulate the gas around the cargo storage space, and a controller. The controller is configured to operate the CA system in each of a first mode and a second mode, wherein, in both the first mode and the second mode the nitrogen source is operated to introduce nitrogen-containing gas through the outlet, and wherein, in the first mode, the fan is deactivated and, in the second mode, the fan is activated. The gas concentration sensor is positioned so that: in the first mode, nitrogen-containing gas that has been introduced through the outlet passes over the sensor so that the sensor provides a signal indicative of a concentration of a first gas introduced through the outlet; and, in the second mode, nitrogen-containing gas that has been introduced through the outlet is displaced away from the sensor by the fan so that the sensor is configured to provide a signal indicative of the concentration of the first gas in an ambient environment of the cargo storage space.
