Carrier Transicold has updated its Vector 1350 trailer refrigeration unit with new software, increasing system power and reducing noise levels.
The system now has 13.1kW of refrigeration capacity at its disposal, but still weighs in at 643kg.
Carrier Transicold also points to the CEN partial load test norm, which confirms that its 1.1-litre engine reduces fuel consumption by up to 30%, compared to the previous unit.
The engine drives both a compressor and a generator to power the ventilation system. Three electric fans are also claimed to improve system reliability.
Additionally, by using a microchannel condenser coil, the Vector 1350 unit requires about 27% less refrigerant than its predecessor.
