REFRIGERATION UNIT

• Refrigeration Unit – Installed Refrigeration Unit on Semi-Trailer Refrigeration Unit/Trailer.

• The semi-trailer refrigeration unit is self-contained cooling system that regulates the temperature inside the refrigerated trailer.

• The unit is designed to maintain precise temperature control to preserve the quality of cargo during transportation.

• The unit is distinct from the truck’s engine and is typically located at the front of the trailer.

• Refrigeration unit maintain temperatures ranging from approximately -20°F to 70°F, depending on the cargo.

• Humidity control range should be between 60% to 85% to lower the temperature of the air, causing moisture to condense and be removed from the trailer environment.
