Choose Thermo King to Save Green and Go Green

Thursday, August 3rd, 2017 Published By: Patrick Logan

With over 75 years of experience under their belt, Thermo King is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of refrigeration equipment. The systems manufactured by the company are built to the highest quality standards and Thermo King stands by their guarantee that their reefer units will operate to the highest degree of efficiency and eco-friendliness. This helps your company save on both operation and maintenance while allowing you to provide reliable delivery service to your clients throughout the country. Ultimately, choosing Thermo King is a cost-effective decision that saves you money while helping to protect the environment from harmful emissions.

Single Temperature Refrigeration Units from Thermo King

Thermo King has three single temperature refrigeration units to choose from. The S-600, S-700, and C-600 are certified CARB Evergreen and are fully backed by the company’s promise of quality and a full warranty. These refrigeration units make it a cool breeze to deliver deep frozen loads over long distances and through whatever climactic conditions you drive through. Moreover, the units deliver double digit fuel savings and superior temperature controls that make using them as simple as pushing a few buttons.

Multi Temperature Refrigeration Units from Thermo King

Multi-temperature refrigeration units give you considerable flexibility on the types of goods you can transport. The Precedent S-600M, S-610M, C-600M, S-600DE, and S-610DE are excellent options for companies seeking to meet the specific needs of multiple clients. These refrigeration units are CARB Evergreen Certified for seven years which means Diesel Particulate FIlters are not required for their operation.

Like the single-temperature units, the multi-temperature refrigeration units deliver double digit fuel savings, superior temperature controls, and real-time fuel monitoring and recording. This makes it easy to determine whether the unit is functioning the way it should, or whether it may be time to schedule a service call.

Thermo King is Going Green

Thermo King is a leader in green technologies for refrigerated transportation solutions. Several years ago the company rolled out a new refrigerant, R-452A that reduces operating costs and increases performance and efficiency. It was among the very first steps taken by refrigeration companies to go green. Of course, companies develop new products all the time. What makes Thermo King stand out is that the company chose not to patent the product so that other companies, end users, and the environment could all benefit from the product.

Add Ons That Go The Distance

In addition to reliable refrigeration systems and eco-friendly refrigerants, Thermo King also manufactures custom accessories that can be paired with each refrigeration unit they produce. These include Thermolite Solar Panels, CargoLink Wireless Sensors, and the PrimAir Management System. These can be coupled to the trailer to enhance the performance and efficiency of the system. This further reduces operating costs and enhances reliability. Businesses can plow these savings into their business to hire more drivers, deliver more routes, and expand their operations for the long-haul ahead.

We look forward to working with you.

Why The Thermo King Precedent Series Excels

Monday, June 26th, 2017 Published By: Patrick Logan

If you are looking for a new trailer platform that excels in fuel-saving technology as well as performance, consider the Thermo King Precedent Series. As a small or large business or independent owner operator in the Amarillo, Lubbock or Odessa TX areas with a need for a refrigerated trailer, consider the Thermo King brand and their new Precedent refrigeration unit for top-notch performance and great cost savings.

The Thermo King Precedent Series excels in many categories

The Thermo King Precedent series of refrigeration units excels in areas such as:

  • Fuel Savings
  • Diesel Electric
  • Maximum Performance
  • Low Emissions
  • Engine Performance

Not to mention, the Precedent series is backed by the service, quality and excellence of the Thermo King.

Details about the great features of the Thermo King Precedent refrigeration unit

Fuel Savings & Diesel Electric Architecture: The new Thermo King Precedent series excels in saving you money at the pump. Using an all-new Diesel-Direct Electric platform, the Precedent series is designed to save double-digits on fuel. Diesel-electric technology, as opposed to diesel-mechanical, helps to ensure the least loss of energy, and the maximum amount of performance.

Maximum Performance: By moving air through the unit more efficiently than ever, the Precedent series by Thermo King is designed for maximum performance. The evaporator blower assembly is designed for maximum airflow with a minimal power draw. The condenser system uses two large and effective coils for smarter operation.

Low Emissions: Thermo King refrigeration units comply with emissions regulations across the country. By providing engine solutions that protect the environment while still increasing engine performance, refrigeration units like the new Precedent series are designed to comply with regulations and save our customers money in the long run.

Engine Performance: The Precedent unit is available in the C-Series and S-Series models. S-Series models S-600 and S-700 offer a (greater than) 25 horsepower engine designed to meet emissions requirements and still save on fuel. The lower horsepower C-Series, or C-600 model, offers less than 25 horsepower and is a great option for those with a lower budget, but who don’t want to compromise on performance.

Backed by the Thermo King brand and its warranty, the Precedent series refrigeration unit excels as a great choice for businesses or owner operators in the Lubbock, Odessa and Amarillo, Texas areas. With over 200 Thermo King dealer locations across North America, you’ll feel confident owning a unit that can be serviced nearly anywhere your truck and trailer goes.

Why Choose the Thermo King Precedent Series

Thursday, April 13th, 2017 Published By: Patrick Logan

When your business relies on transport refrigeration, you must ensure your product reaches its customers as fresh as it was the day it was picked, packaged, or caught. In choosing the proper transport units, there are multiple factors to consider. The unit that is the best fit for an organic fruit farmer in California may not be the best fit for a Midwest market producing frozen pizzas. Thermo King gives businesses options, guaranteeing they’ll purchase the right units for their company needs. When choosing the right refrigeration unit for your needs, choose wisely, choose the Thermo King Precedent Series.

Thermo King developed the Precedent series in response to new emission guidelines.

While the Thermo King Precedent Series does adhere to the new emission guidelines, it goes above and beyond meeting a state requirement, setting the standard in transport refrigeration. The Precedent platform boasts more choices, optimal performance, and savings in both general upkeep and fuel consumption. Customers get improved fuel efficiency, reliability, and capacity, meeting their needs in full and helping them to run more efficient and ultimately, more successful operations.

The Precedent line features maximum energy efficiency

While precisely managing temperatures, ensuring load integrity and optimum fuel management; the Thermo King Precedent Series maximizes efficiency. With proven diesel-electric architecture, all refrigeration components work together seamlessly to drive efficiency and double-digit fuel savings. The Precedent line also boasts a web-enabled tracking system to monitor conditions in real time from virtually any location.

The Thermo King Precedent Series offers a solution for Thermo King customers

The Precedent Series features two levels of product: the S-series and the C-series. The S-series is evergreen CARB and EPA compliant while the C-series is 7-years CARB compliant in California and evergreen EPA compliant nationwide.

The line includes five models, each of which boasts distinctive, differentiating features. The S-600M and S-610M are Precedent’s premier models. These multi-temp units both offer greater than 25 HP, CARB and EPA evergreen compliance, and excellent fuel economy. Customers experience up to 34% savings in fuel expenses over previous models.

The C-600M multi-temp unit offers less than 25 HP, EPA evergreen compliance, and 7-years CARB compliance. Customers experience up to 15% fuel savings over previous models. The unit features stellar efficiency and reliability alongside optimal temperature control. It is an excellent option for businesses who must meet a 7-year CARB compliance or who don’t run their operations in California.

The S-600DE and S-610DE multi-temp units offer greater than 25 HP and carb and EPA evergreen compliance. These models are designed for a select customer niche who have a unique trailer configuration with two long zones. Eliminating the need to add remote evaporators inside of the trailer reduces upfront and installation costs while still providing excellent fuel economy.

The Thermo King Precedent series goes beyond offering a product to customers.

Thermo King not only offers great products in the Precedent Series, but they also offer an invaluable service. Knowledgeable, experienced staff assist customers in choosing the products that will best meet their needs and preferences. They also provide ongoing support to ensure the units continue to operate flawlessly for uninterrupted business transactions.

For more than 75 years, Thermo King has provided top-notch products and performance to its customizers. We’re proud to operate more than 200 factory-trained, authorized service locations throughout North America. The Thermo King staff strives to help every customer find the optimal solution for their specific transport temperature control needs.

Thermo King Refrigeration Units Operations and How They Affect Expenses

Wednesday, November 2nd, 2016 Published By: Patrick Logan

Individuals who operate refrigerated trailers are often fairly knowledgeable about their businesses. However, even the most experienced individuals are the first to tell you that they don’t know everything when it comes to their reefers. As long as the reefers are doing their job and allowing companies to stay within their budgets, the majority of trailer users aren’t too concerned about the specifics of their refrigeration units. Thermo King offers a wide range of features to set themselves apart from the competition and give their users the best experience possible to increase productivity and ultimately, drive more sales.  In most cases, proper operation of the refrigeration units can significantly reduce overall expenses.

Thermo King Refrigeration Units Running Modes

The running modes determine how much fuel is burned and the amount of maintenance that’s required for the refrigeration unit components. The running modes also control the consistency of the perishable items’ temperatures within the trailer. The age and condition of the refrigeration unit as well as ambient temperatures and the trailer’s insulation value affect the frequency and duration that the refrigeration unit runs.

Most commodities, such as paint, canned goods, beverages, and candy, hold up under 5 to 10-degree temperature swings in either direction. However, some commodities require steady temperatures, which means the refrigeration unit must run continuously. Drivers must negotiate the acceptable temperature range with each shipper to help keep operating expenses as low as possible.

Thermo King recommends that drivers document fuel use and running times for every shipper and every product. This information will come in handy when shippers want to negotiate rates or temperature ranges. Sometimes shippers don’t understand why they don’t need the reefers to run continuously. Supplying current data will help a driver make a case for a temperature range to save on operating expenses as well as wear and tear on the refrigeration unit.

Trailer Use and Care

Drop-and-hook operations save companies money by drastically reducing driver waiting times. However, when left unsupervised, you never know what customers will do with the refrigeration units. Telemetry enables remote, real-time monitoring and may reveal potential abuse of the reefers.

Running a reefer while the doors are open during a delivery or when the vehicle is parked elsewhere wastes energy. Many customers do so anyway because they don’t know better or because it’s simply convenient. If customers insist on running the reefer while the trailer is docked, make sure the engine runs at a lower RPM to reduce fuel usage.

Select the highest insulation value available while still allowing adequate cube in the refrigeration unit. The lower the value or UA figure, the better. A low UA may be issued to a trailer with three inches of insulation in the roof, floors, and walls. It may also allow a refrigeration unit to use just half of the fuel of a reefer with a high UA number because of the mere one inch of foam in the walls and two inches in the floor and roof. However, the low UA trailer will have six percent lower volume and may weigh an extra 200 pounds, resulting in the tractor burning extra fuel to pull it.

We look forward to working with you.

Keeping Your Thermo King Refrigeration Unit Clean

Wednesday, August 10th, 2016 Published By: Patrick Logan

Just as its name implies, Thermo King is one of the kings of transporting foods and other perishables to destinations across our country. Keeping your Thermo King refrigeration unit clean helps to keep bacteria from getting into the valuable cargo that you transport.

A Thermo King refrigeration unit

Whether you own your own Thermo King reefer – or it’s the property of the company you work for – you want to make sure it is kept clean and continues to run smoothly. One of the best ways to ensure its performance is up to par, is to perform preventative maintenance. Cleaning and servicing the refrigeration unit will cut down on costly maintenance as well as keep the contents of your hauls clean and free of harmful bacteria.

What you will need to clean the Thermo King refrigeration unit

It’s always smart to be proactive and have your supplies handy before starting any project – cleaning a Thermo King refrigeration unit is no exception. To give your reefer a good cleaning you will need to have the following things close by. A protective eye mask or goggles to prevent a splash in your eye. You’ll need rubber gloves, a 5-gallon bucket, an industrial strength refrigeration unit cleaner and a wide broom. You will also need a garden hose, an electric power washer with heat – and don’t forget the trailer boom.

Steps for cleaning your Thermo King refrigeration unit

Step 1. Make sure the refrigeration unit is turned off and remove any hardware or palettes from the cargo space. This is a good time to put on your protective eye goggles and rubber gloves.

Step 2. Mix the cleaner with water in the 5-gallon bucket – by using a ratio of five parts cleaner to ten parts water (5:10). This solution will go into the power washer.  Next, connect the power washer to the garden hose.

Step 3. Turn the power washer heat to low – and the spray to high.

Step 4.  Spray the unit, starting with the ceiling first – then each wall. Spray the wall from top to bottom. Lastly, spray the floors. Using the wide broom, make sure you get into the grooves in the floor to remove all dirt and debris that has collected since the last cleaning.  

Keep the Thermo King refrigeration unit clean

Truck drivers are usually short on time – if you don’t have the time to go through each step of the cleaning process, most truck stops have professionals who will clean and wash your Thermo King. It’s best to call ahead to schedule a professional wash for your refrigeration unit.

Safety Precautions When Servicing Thermo King Components and Systems

Tuesday, June 28th, 2016 Published By: Patrick Logan

When servicing Thermo King components and systems, it is crucial to follow safety precautions as recommended by the manufacturer and highlighted in the Thermo King maintenance manual. Make sure to thoroughly review the proper procedures for service and repair before performing maintenance on your Thermo King unit. If you are uncomfortable with any service recommendations, consider hiring a professional to take care of all of your maintenance needs. Please refer to your current maintenance manual for complete safety precautions and service instructions. These are just a few highlights of the safety precautions for your Thermo King unit.

General Safety Precautions for Thermo King Components & Systems

Always wear safety goggles or glasses when servicing Thermo King units. You could come in contact with refrigerant liquid or battery acid, which can be detrimental to your eyesight. Another important thing to remember is to always keep your hands, clothing and tools clear of the fan when the refrigeration unit is running. Other general safety precautions include taking care around the coil fins (which you could cut yourself on), using extreme caution when drilling holes in the unit, and being sure to service the unit in a well-ventilated area. For all general safety precautions, be sure to reference your updated Thermo King maintenance manual.

Refrigerant & Refrigerant Oil Safety Precautions

When servicing Thermo King units (or any refrigeration unit), it is essential to make sure that no refrigerant escapes into the atmosphere. In their liquid state, refrigerant liquids can cause severe damage and harm. The liquids evaporate quickly, and can freeze anything they contact – even causing severe frostbite.

Extreme care should be taken with refrigerant oil. Any contact with eyes, skin or clothing should be tended to immediately. Refer to your maintenance manual for specific first aid instructions.

Thermo King Electrical Safety Precautions

As with most machines and refrigeration units, the risk of electrical shock is always present. Even if the unit is not running, care should be taken when it is connected to a power source. When servicing your Thermo King unit, be sure to turn OFF the unit before disconnecting the main power source and be sure the plug and outlets are clean and dry before reconnecting the power source. As with any electrical source, beware of metal tools and treat all electrical wires as high voltage wires.

Thermo King Units with a Microprocessor Controller – Special Safety Precautions

If your Thermo King unit is equipped with a microprocessor controller, you’ll need to take extra precautions to prevent electrical discharge. If the proper discharge procedures are not followed, there is a high risk of damaging the electrical components.

Pre-trip, 1,000 Hours & Annual Service Inspections

According to the Thermo King service guide, specific parts of your unit should be inspected and/or serviced pre-trip, after every 1,000 hours and annually. Beside the visual pre-trip checks and checking basic fluid levels, it may be wise to contact a professional for your thousand-hour and annual service needs.

Trust your Thermo King Components and Systems to the Professionals

When servicing Thermo King units, follow all highlighted safety precautions in your updated Thermo King maintenance manual to protect yourself from harm and prevent damage to components. If you are not properly trained to service your unit or feel uncomfortable with the procedures in any way, contact a professional to take care of your maintenance needs. Trust your Thermo King components and system maintenance to the professionals at West Texas Thermo King and know that your unit is in good hands.
