[quote user="markpierce"] <P>Heaters were placed in reefers to prevent the contents from getting too cold. (Would you want your shipment of California oranges to freeze on its way to Chicago during the winter?)</P> <P>Mark</P> <P>[/quote]</P> <P>We used to heat reefers in trucking to protect paints and other materials in the cold of winter.
