Loading Procedure

  1. To minimise frost accumulation in the evaporator coil and a heat increase inside the load compartment, ensure that the unit is OFF before opening the doors (The unit may continue to run when the truck is being loaded in a warehouse with the doors closed).

  2. Carefully check and record the load temperature when loading the truck. Note whether any products are out of temperature range.

  3. Load the product in such a way that there is sufficient space for the air to circulate throughout the load. DO NOT block the evaporator inlet or outlet.

  4. Product should be pre-cooled before loading. Thermo King units are designed to maintain the load at the temperature at which it is loaded. Transport refrigeration units are not designed to reduce the load temperature.
