The Dearman transport refrigeration system combines cryogenic refrigeration with a Dearman engine and a downsized vapor compression refrigeration cycle, giving it several decisive advantages. Because the Dearman TRU is powered by expansion rather than internal combustion, it is also markedly quieter than a diesel unit.
