The purpose of this study is the energy consumption comparison of the PCM type and the engine driven type refrigerator truck. Experimental device was the basis of 2.5 ton grade refrigerator truck, and the conditions were maintaining the temperature of the refrigerator 5℃, freezer -18℃ ambient 35℃. Experiments were performed for each the maintain the indoor temperature test and the regular door open test. We measured the electric power consumption of PCM type, and fuel consumption of the engine driven type for same conditions. As a result of comparison in terms of primary energy, PCM type was calculated as being able to save over 20% primary energy than the engine driven type.
