Specifications

The V-500 MAX Thermo King unit comprises two-piece split units designed for fresh, frozen and deep frozen applications on medium-sized trucks. The road compressor is powered by the vehicle's engine. In models with electric stand-by, the second one is powered by an electric motor. Models with heating are also available
New exclusive TCC (Triple Cooling Capacity) feature offers you three capacities and fan speeds to automatically match cooling needs of varying intensity. The TCC level is adjusted according to the pressure read within the refrigeration circuit.

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
