General Information
This Thermo King Advancer unit is a one piece, self-contained,
diesel/electric powered cooling/heating trailer unit. The unit mounts
on the front of the trailer with the evaporator extending through
an opening in the front wall. It features a fully programmable microprocessor
controller designed exclusively for transport refrigeration applications,
all-new DDE (Diesel Direct Electric) architecture, a quiet running
Thermo King diesel engine, and a Thermo King X430 reciprocating compressor.

Cooling, heating (hot gas) and defrost (hot gas) on engine operation and electric standby operation.
Single Temperature Units: Power is provided by a water-cooled, direct injection diesel engine. A centrifugal clutch transfers power from the engine to the compressor. Belts transfer power to the fans and alternator. During electric standby operation, an electric motor drives the compressor, fans and alternator using belts. The centrifugal clutch on the engine isolates the engine from the compressor during electric operation.
Multi-Temperature Units: Spectrum model systems consist of a host unit with a single evaporator and one (or two) remote evaporator units. The host unit contains the diesel engine, compressor, system controls and an evaporator. Refrigerant lines and wire harnesses connect the host unit to the remote evaporators. Several compartment configurations are possible. The temperature in each compartment is maintained by a separate controller (except when the unit is set to control at a single temperature). The systems are flexible enough to allow each compartment to be set at any temperature.
