Thermo King is engineering its newest trailer units, including the SB series single- and multi-temp units, to offer low life-cycle cost while delivering maximum performance with less impact on the environment.
Because Thermo King's engines drive the compressor directly, they maximize fuel efficiency, using less energy to generate the same Btu output compared with electric compressors. When heating a load, Thermo King uses advanced heat pump technology, which provides efficiency gains over electric heat.
The company also offers electric standby as an option on all of its trailer units, allowing the units to run on electric power rather than diesel. The result is less fuel burned and reduced emissions while the trailer is stationary in a loading dock or yard. All Thermo King trailer refrigeration units meet the EPA's Interim Tier 4 emission requirements.
Thermo King trailer units include proprietary low-noise technology as a standard feature. This includes sound-deadening components, an acoustical grill design, tuned intake resonator, exhaust and muffler components, and a quiet engine. More soundproofing material, special door gaskets, and sound-absorbing foam can be added as part of the optional Whisper package for all trailer units.
The EMI-3000 Extended Maintenance Interval is part of all Thermo King trailer units. By extending the time between maintenance services, not only are maintenance costs reduced by up to 45%, but waste associated with the service is also reduced.
