A transportable refrigeration apparatus for refrigerating a separable open topped bin is disclosed. The apparatus comprises: an upper body (25) releasably mountable to the open topped bin (10); an evaporator (50) mounted to the upper body (25) and shaped to define an inner space (58) and an outer surface (55), in use the evaporator (50) extending into the bin; a compressor and motor assembly (44) located within the inner space (58); and a condenser mounted to the upper body, the condenser, the compressor and evaporator (50) forming parts of a refrigeration circuit. A battery is mounted to the upper body (25) and within the inner space (58) and a control system controls supply of power to the compressor motor from alternative power sources including battery. The controller includes a DC to AC inverter. In use, the refrigeration circuit extracts heat through the outer surface of the evaporator (50) from the bin (10) during its transportation to maintain the contents of the bin at a temperature below ambient temperature for an extended period of time.
