METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR USING MEAN KINETIC TEMPERATURE TO CONTROL A TRANSPORT CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM

Methods and systems for operating a transport climate control system (100) providing climate control within a climate controlled space (106) of a transport unit (105), the method including setting a mean kinetic temperature setpoint to control a compressor (210) and/or fans in the transport climate control system (100) and determining a mean kinetic temperature in the climate controlled space (106). The method further includes regulating the mean kinetic temperature in the climate controlled space (106) while optimizing the energy spent by adjusting the cooling and/or heating capacity of the system (100).
