Carrier Transicold recently introduced the Vector 8200 all-electric, engineless refrigeration unit with single- and multi-temperature capabilities designed for trailers used as stationary cold storage.
The Vector 8200 harnesses electricity from the grid or other external power sources, eliminating the fuel consumption, emissions, noise, and operating costs associated with a diesel-powered engine and generator, Carrier reported. Its TRU-Demand E-Drive energy management system monitors the power draw and adjusts to changes in a facility’s electrical supply, maintaining voltage during brownout conditions and preventing grid strain when multiple units restart after power outages. Four remote evaporator choices provide flexibility to cool one-, two- or three-compartment trailers.
“As companies seek to manage their operating costs and impact on neighbors and the environment, the Vector 8200 is a quiet, durable, intelligent all-electric solution for single- or multi-temperature trailer storage,” Arthur Pluta, Carrier Transicold Truck Trialer Americas electrification product manager, said in a news release.
Other benefits of the Vector 8200 include:
- Exceptional cooling capacity: The Vector 8200 delivers up to 58,000 BTU/hour at 35 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring reliable temperature control for sensitive cargo. It also provides electric heating and defrost.
- Advanced APX controls: Features IntelliSet technology with ProductShield for precise temperature management.
- Lynx Fleet telematics integration: Provides comprehensive fleet intelligence, monitoring, and two-way control capabilities.
- Engineered for reliability: The Vector 8200 features a fully hermetic electric scroll compressor, high-efficiency microchannel condenser, maintenance-free AC fan motors and an electronic expansion valve. Options include a high-power 40-amp battery charger and a TRU-mounted solar charging system.
