1. A refrigerated transport system comprising:
a heat source;
a vapor compression system comprising:
a compressor for compressing a flow of a refrigerant;
a first heat exchanger along a refrigerant flowpath of the refrigerant; and
a second heat exchanger along the refrigerant flowpath of the refrigerant;
a refrigerated compartment in thermal communication with the vapor compression system second heat exchanger; and
a heat recovery system having:
a first heat exchanger for transferring heat from the heat source to a heat recovery fluid along a heat recovery flowpath; and
a second heat exchanger along the heat recovery flowpath,
wherein:
the heat recovery system second heat exchanger and the vapor compression system first heat exchanger are respective portions of a shared heat exchanger for rejecting heat to a heat transfer fluid;
a separate subcooler has respective legs along the vapor compression flowpath and the heat recovery flowpath; and
the heat recovery system first heat exchanger has respective legs along a coolant flowpath of the heat source and the heat recovery flowpath.
