Keeping your cold chain cost effective is a major challenge. While on the road, it’s important to minimize energy consumption while maintaining performance.

Prepare Transportation

• Make sure boxes are undamaged to avoid cool air to seep out quickly and have the motor run more frequently.
• Use partition walls to cool loads individually and enable return packaging to be kept aside.

Make the Best Usage of your Refrigeration Unit

• Use the built-in standby to reduce energy consumption when parked, or during loading and unloading.
• Use the control system to select the setting adapted to the load transported.

Maintain the Unit

• Perform preventive maintenance before entering busy periods and intensive usage to ensure your equipment is ready.
• Regularly maintain your refrigeration unit following the number of running hours to avoid breakdown and allow for adjustments.

• Class A: Refrigerated unit equipped with a cooling system allowing the selection of temperatures between +12°C and 0°C inclusive.
• Class B: Refrigerated unit equipped with a cooling system allowing the selection of temperatures between +12°C and -10°C inclusive.
• Class C: Refrigerated unit equipped with a cooling system allowing the selection of temperatures between +12°C and -20°C inclusive.

The cooling capacity of a unit is determined by a test carried out in one of the registered testing centers and certified by an official report.

Test results are valid for 6 years.
