Acceptance Criteria
Regarding the acceptance criteria considered in Thermo King Protocol, the air temperature should remain within the required temperature range. For example, if the requirement is for temperature range +2.0°C to +8.0°C, the minimum air temperature recorded should not be below +2.0°C, and the maximum should not exceed +8.0°C.
Temperature Range Table
Thermo King recommends to run the unit with the recommended Setpoints below:
Test Results - Trailer body with A-500 Spectrum and S3A remote evaporator
| Temperature Range | Extreme Ambient Temperature | Recommended Setpoint | Max Average Deviation from Setpoint |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Temperature between -20°C |
+43°C / -30°C |
–23°C |
+3/-4°C of setpoint |
|
Temperature between 2°C and 8°C |
+45°C / -30°C |
+4°C |
+2/-3°C of setpoint |
|
Temperature between 15°C and 25°C |
+45°C / -30°C |
+20°C |
+3/-4°C of setpoint |
Efficient loading practices and operating procedures have to be followed to ensure optimum air circulation and temperature management.
To ensure total flexibility the qualification is to be performed at all stated ranges from above.
