When selecting refrigeration units for trucks, factors such as the volume of the compartment, the temperature requirements of the goods to be transported and the transportation mileage should be taken into account. The following is a specific introduction:
Refrigerated Truck Body Length
- Under 6 meters: Usually, non-independent units are used, which are suitable for refrigerated trucks with a cargo volume of 4 to 31 cubic meters. SF-360T, SF-600 and SF-800Pro are all good choices. Non-independent units do not have a separate power source, and must rely on the vehicle engine to drive the compressor work.
- More than 6 meters compartment: it is recommended to choose independent unit, this kind of unit has a separate power source, not subject to the restrictions of the vehicle engine working condition, and can work independently. Sinoclima's D series refrigeration units will satisfy your needs. For example, Sinofrigo SF-1000D units are specially designed for fresh, frozen, and deep-frozen cargo. Its application on the refrigerated truck box volume 35~55m³.SF-1000D includes an independent YANMAR 3 cylinders diesel engine which allows the unit to be operated by its engine.
Freight temperature requirements
Distribution of frozen food such as ice cream generally requires a low temperature below -18 degrees Celsius, while transportation of cold meat requires a temperature of about -5 degrees Celsius. Different goods have different requirements for storage temperature, so it is necessary to choose the appropriate refrigeration unit according to the characteristics of the goods.
Transportation distance
- Short distance transportation: Direct engine drive truck refrigeration units are more suitable for short-distance transportation in some towns and cities because of lower costs and shorter distances, and the quality of the goods will not be affected even if the engine stops during stops and breaks. Also if your destination is neither far nor close, you can choose our company's customized service. When you buy sinoclima's refrigeration units, you can see two optional functions: Heating and Electric standby. You can contact us for some details.
- Long distance transportation: Long distance transportation is more suitable to use stand-alone units because during driver's rest or loading and unloading, even if the engine of the vehicle stops working, the stand-alone refrigeration unit can continue to operate to ensure that the goods do not deteriorate due to temperature changes.
These are just a few of the factors for selecting a refrigeration unit. You can contact sinoclima and we will help you purchase stable performance and cost-effective products.
