Optimized Performance with Exclusive Technology
  • Outsanding Pulldown Capacity with TCC1. The unit is working at its highest capacity level with both condenser fans running at maximum speed.
  • Ideal for Demanding Conditions. The maximum capacity level makes it possible to function in ambient temperatures up to 122 degrees F with the R-134a and R-404A version available for fresh and frozen applications.
  • Low Fuel Consumption and Running Costs. Performance is optimized according to the capacity demand, thereby reducing the fuel consumption of the truck. When working in steady or low demanding conditions, the condenser fans will run at low speed or stop as required.
  • Low Noise Level. Noise is kept to a minimum level in any operating conditions, particularly in steady state conditions. In electric standby operation, the sound power level varies by 3dbA according to the TCC level. On road operation, the compressor is driven by the engine of the vehicle, hence the noise from the unit is minimal.
Unsurpassed Reliability
  • Option of Thermo King exclusive reciprocating road compressor offers a 5 times longer life.
  • Semi-hermetic reciprocating standby compressor.
  • Electrical components protected from water and humidity inside a semi-hermetic box.
  • New control system (TCC) reduces the working time of the condenser fans.
New Design
  • Styled with rounded angles.
  • Smooth curvature of the front panel.
  • No visible screws.
  • Updated design of the electric box panel.
  • Completely white appearance.
  • Ultra Slim Evaporator (only 8.6 inches in height) to maximize payload.
Easy Installation and Easy to Service
  • Front cover fixed to the structure by the means of plastic clips.
  • Clip-on electric cover.
  • Speedy clip system for hoses and connections.
System Components
  • Condenser
  • ES500 Evaporator
  • Engine driven compressor choice between reciprocating and swash plate compressor
  • Installation kit
