1.2: General Safety Practices

    Danger
  • Hazardous Voltage
  • This unit is equipped with high voltage electrical components capable of causing serious injury or death. ONLY qualified individuals should service, repair, or replace any of the electrical power system components, including fuses.

    Warning
  • Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Required
  • A battery can be dangerous. Lithium-ion batteries are potentially hazardous. The combustion gas from these batteries is toxic and can present a serious FIRE HAZARD if damaged, defective, or improperly used. A battery stores enough electricity to burn you if it discharges quickly. Always wear goggles or safety glasses and personal protective equipment when working with a battery. Do not replace the battery with any type other than the one approved by Thermo King for this unit.

    Warning
  • Risk of Injury
  • Temperatures above 120 degrees F (50 degrees C) can cause serious burns. Use an infrared thermometer or other temperature measuring device before touching any potentially hot surfaces.

    Warning
  • Hazard of Explosion
  • An improperly installed battery could result in a fire, explosion, or injury. A Thermo King approved battery must be installed and properly secured to the battery tray.
    Warning
  • Hazard of Explosion
  • Always cover battery terminals to prevent them from making contact with metal components during battery installation. Battery terminals grounding against metal could cause the battery to explode.

    Warning
  • Hazard of Explosion
  • Improperly installed battery cables could result in a fire, explosion, or injury. Battery cables must be installed, routed, and secured properly to prevent them from rubbing, chaffing, or making contact with hot, sharp, or rotating components.

    Caution

1.3: First Aid

BATTERY ACID

  • Eyes: Immediately flush with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Get prompt medical attention. Wash skin with soap and water.

  • Skin: Immediately remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin with large volumes of water, for at least 15 minutes. Wash skin with soap and water. Do not apply fatty compounds. Seek immediate medical assistance.

  • Inhalation: Provide fresh air. Rinse mouth and nose with water. Seek immediate medical assistance.

  • Ingestion: If the injured person is fully conscious: make the person drink extensive amounts of milk. Do not induce vomiting. Take the injured person immediately to a hospital.


ELECTRICAL SHOCK

The Axle Power System is a state of the art product and is very safe to operate.

However, in a very unlikely scenario of electrical shock proceed with the following steps: Immediate action must be initiated after a person has received an electrical shock. DO NOT TOUCH THE VICTIM!

You can receive a shock from current flowing through the victim's body. The person may still be in contact with the electrical source. The source of electricity must be removed first.

CALL FOR EMERGENCY AND MEDICAL ASSISTANCE! TURN THE VEHICLE’S ENGINE OFF!

Remove the source of electricity, if possible. If not, move the source away from you and the person, using a dry, nonconducting object made of card-board, plastic, or wood. The electrical wire should be cut with either an insulated instrument (e.g. wooden handled axe or cable cutters with heavy insulated handles) or by a rescuer wearing electrically insulated gloves and safety glasses. Whichever method is used, DO NOT LOOK AT THE WIRE while it is being cut. The ensuing flash can cause burns and blindness. After separating the victim from power source, check immediately for presence of a pulse and respiration. If the victim has no pulse, start CPR (Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation) until the emergency medical assistance arrives. If the victim has a pulse, respiration may be restored by using mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.


ASPHYXIATION

Move victim to fresh air and use Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) or mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to restore breathing, if necessary. Stay with victim until emergency personnel arrive.

The humidity must be below 70 % RH.

Chapter 2: System Description

The Axle Power System is a 2-piece assembly:


  1. The Energ-e Pack controls generation and provision of the Trailer Refrigeration Unit (TRU). It stores the power generated by the ePower Axle Generators or by charging with shore power connection in its high voltage batteries. It supplies electric power to the TRU.

    The Energ-e Pack consists of the following components, among others:

    • High voltage battery (HV battery). There are systems with one or two HV batteries.

    • Energ-e Pack HMI panel, the Human-Machine Interface or User Interface.

    • Temperature Management System (TMS).

    • Controllers, inverters, filters, sensors.


  2. The ePower Axle unit generates electrical power for the Energ-e Pack. The Generator Transmission Units (GTUs) with the two generators are mounted below the trailer and convert mechanical power from vehicle movement into electric power to supply the Trailer Refrigeration Unit (TRU) and charge the high voltage battery of the Energ-e Pack.


These units in combination, the Axle Power System, provide electrical power for operating the refrigeration unit.

Chapter 3: How Axle Power Works

3.1: Axle Power Modes Overview

The activities of Axle Power are depicted by three categories:

  • System Modes

  • Operation Modes

  • Energy Modes (ePower Axle)


The Energ-e Pack is based on three System Modes. They describe and determine the states of the system: How the system starts, operates, and shuts down its functions and operation. The mode OFF has always an exceptional cause: If Axle Power System is OFF, either Axle Power has not been used for a longer period or there is some problem with the system, an event of emergency, or there is ongoing maintenance work in the open Energ-e Pack box (Service Switch switched off).


Axle Power runs in three Operation Modes that determine how the Energ-e Pack supplies power to the Trailer Refrigeration Unit (TRU): Road, Shore Power, and Parking Mode. Road Mode is the most important and unique Axle Power Operation Mode. In Road Mode, Axle Power generates electric energy via ePower Axle for the Trailer Refrigeration Unit (TRU).


Depending on the energy demand and driving situation of the vehicle and the Trailer Refrigeration Unit (TRU), the ePower Axle Generators produce varying amounts of electrical energy. Generating and provisioning electrical power is controlled using three Energy Modes: Active, Recuperation, and Passive.


Axle Power Modes automatically change, activate and deactivate themselves. They depend on certain conditions — if these particular conditions are met, then the corresponding Axle Power Mode starts or changes to another one.
Example: You turn the ignition on. This forces Axle Power to start working.

These processes are triggered and managed by the Axle Power System itself. You do not have to do anything.



3.2: System Modes

The System Modes of Axle Power describe the states of the system: How and when the system starts, how and when it operates, and how and when it shuts down its functions and operation.


  • High Voltage Mode (HV Mode) for core operation: producing electrical energy by the axle generators and supplying the refrigeration unit.

  • Standby Mode (Low Voltage Mode, LV Mode): The HMI is on.

  • Shutdown Mode (Sleep Mode): HMI is off.

  • If Axle Power is OFF, either Axle Power has not been used for a longer period or there is a problem, a case of emergency or ongoing maintenance work.


The System Modes automatically change and de-/activate themselves. They depend on certain conditions — and if these particular conditions are met, then the corresponding System Mode starts or changes to another one.


Example:

  • Truck and trailer are parked.

  • The Energ-e Pack system is in Shutdown Mode, the HMI display is off.

  • You connect the shore power cable into the shore power interface of the building and into the shore power socket on the HMI panel.

  • Automatically the Axle Power System changes to HV Mode, the HMI starts up, the refrigeration unit is powered.


In nearly all cases, these processes are triggered and managed by the Axle Power System itself.



3.3: Operation Modes

Axle Power runs in three Operation Modes that determine how the system supplies power to the Trailer Refrigeration Unit (TRU).
In all three Operation Modes the Energ-e Pack powers the TRU.


Road Mode

  • Truck and trailer with the TRU are moving. The system detects that the trailer is towed by a tractor.

  • The system starts power generation. ePower Axle Generators are generating electrical power.

  • The Axle generators charge the HV battery of the Energ-e Pack and supply the TRU.


Shore Power Mode

  • Truck and trailer with the TRU are parking.

  • The Energ-e Pack is connected to shore power or a charging station.

  • The HV battery is charged and the TRU is supplied with shore power.


Parking Mode

  • Truck and trailer with the TRU are parking or can run on the road, but the ePower Axle Generators do not generate energy.

  • The HV battery supplies the TRU if it is sufficiently charged.



The Energ-e Pack activates and changes to the appropriate Operation Mode autonomously.

The current Operation Mode is displayed by the Human-Machine Interface (HMI) on the top left:

Operation Mode on the HMI (example Shore Power Mode)

Operation Mode Icons

Road Mode. Truck with trailer is moving and generators can produce power to charge the high voltage battery.
Shore Power Mode. Energ-e Pack is connected to shore power to charge the high voltage battery or to power the Trailer Refrigeration Unit (TRU).
Parking Mode. If the high voltage battery is sufficiently charged, it powers the refrigeration unit.
Important Switch to Road Mode may be impeded

  • if the battery is (nearly) empty: State of Charge (SOC) 0%,

  • and if ignition is on for a longer period,

  • and if the vehicle is not moving (no power generated by ePower Axle).


In this event, you have to toggle the ignition signal before starting to drive away the truck. Thereby the ePower Axle Generators begin to charge the battery and supply the refrigeration unit.

Example:

You have a break and leave the vehicle running. Axle Power may not start automatically if one more condition is met, namely the battery is (nearly) empty.

The HMI shows that the battery is nearly empty. The battery State of Charge (SOC) is 0%:

Chapter 4: Operation Instructions

4.1: Starting and Shutting Down

Axle Power changes, activates, and deactivates its mode of working (System Modes) autonomously.

  • Axle Power starts working automatically: It is not possible to start operation and the High Voltage Mode (HV Mode) of the Energ-e Pack manually via the ON/OFF button. HV Mode is activated automatically when ignition or Trailer Refrigeration Unit (TRU) are on or when the Energ-e Pack is connected with shore power.

  • HMI is off (display black): You manually start the HMI by the ON/OFF button that is located next to the display of the HMI.

    • Short press ON/OFF button for 1-2 seconds for activating
      the Standby Mode of the Energ-e Pack.

1. ON/OFF button    

4.2: Human-Machine Interface (HMI)

There are three access levels: User, Supervisor, and Service. The User does not need a login with pin or password.

The HMI changes depending on context and access level. Operator (truck driver, User access) and Supervisor (fleet manager) have access to the information of the HMI about the state of the Axle Power System (System Mode) and possible errors in the system.

The HMI consists of the Standard Display, the Information Menu and the Main Menu with various submenus, among others the Alarms Submenu.

Please pay special attention to the alarm icons on the Standard Display and the Alarm Details including the recommended action to take.

    Warning
  • Equipment Damage and Risk of Injury
  • Do not operate the unit until you are completely familiar with the location and function of each control.

4.2.1: HMI

The main functions of the Human-Machine Interface (HMI):

  • Display Alarms / Error

  • Monitor battery State of Charge (SOC)

  • Geofencing

  • Information on Axle Power System

4.2.1.1: Activating the HMI

In general, you do not have to activate the HMI. In normal operation, the HMI and its display are always on:

  • When the Trailer Refrigeration Unit (TRU) is on,

  • or when the ignition is on or the truck is on the road,

  • or when the Energ-e Pack is connected to shore power and the HV battery is being charged.

  • The HMI is also on when Axle Power is in Standby Mode.

There is no time out for the HMI display, for example if you do not use it for some minutes.


If the HMI is off and the display is ‘black’, you can activate the HMI:

  • Short press the ON/OFF button for 1-2 seconds. This ‘wakes up’ the system, starting the HMI at the same time.

Of course, you can also turn on ignition or the TRU or connect the Energ-e Pack with shore power. This also ‘wakes up’ the system and with it the HMI.


Note that information needs a few seconds until it is completely shown on the display.



4.2.1.2: Display

The display of the HMI consists of three parts:

  • Header line for information and icons, depending on menu and feature (1).

  • Main screen with information or input fields, depending on menu and feature (2).

  • Footing tool bar with four action buttons (3) that change depending on the context.

HMI has no touch screen: It is operated by pressing the soft keys below the screen (4) that correspond to action buttons in the footing of the display.

The main screen of the Standard Display contains information on

  • either the state of charge of the batteries,

  • or the time to charge the high voltage batteries,

  • or the time to run down the high voltage batteries.

The main screen of the Standard Display is switching every three seconds between these three topics: State of Charge, Time to charge, Time to run down the HV battery.

  • State of Charge (SOC) of the high voltage batteries


  • How long it will take to charge the high voltage batteries (SOC 100%):
    in hours and minutes (hh:mm)


  • How long it takes for the high voltage batteries to run down (SOC 0%):
    in hours and minutes (hh:mm)

On the left of the main screen, the icons also change according to the topic:

  • The battery icon roughly visualizes the state of charge of the high voltage battery by its filling level:

    for a nearly full high voltage battery

    for a state of charge of about 20 % (SOC 20%)
    for a nearly empty high voltage battery

Charging socket

    

Whereas the charging socket on the HMI panel of the Energ-e Pack is a type 2 socket, the socket of shore power interface in the building has to be a 32 Amp 5 pins CEE socket, as shown in the figures below.

Type 2 socket
(Energ-e Pack side)
32 Amp 5 pins
CEE socket (Shore Power side)

Important For operating the Energ-e Pack with the onboard charger, the shore power interface in the building must comply with following specifications:

  • 400V/50Hz/3phases + neutral

  • The fuses used shall meet the requirements according to the standards of your country.

  • In case the neutral pin is not connected, the charger will not operate.

  • Use RCCB (Residual Current Circuit Breaker) Type B. If any other RCCB type (Type A/AC/F) is used, it may result in nuisance tripping of the building shore power RCCB protection.

    • Type B RCCB should be used for variable-speed drives, electric charging equipment, and inverter-driven systems.


    Notice
  • Use on Ferry
  • If you use Axle Power System on a ferry, note that the Energ-e Pack cannot be connected to the power supply of the ferry via the type 2 connection.

    Caution
  • Equipment Damage
  • Use the dedicated charger and adapter provided with the Energ-e Pack.
    Important: It is not allowed to use extension cords for the charging cable.


The Energ-e Pack is equipped with a charging cable provided with an in-cable charger module (Eveline). In order to avoid system damage, only this charging cable which is provided by Thermo King should be used for charging the Energ-e Pack with shore power. It is equipped with a Type B RCCB.
For charging the Energ-e Pack, it is not allowed to use extension cords.

Charging cable: Red 32 Amp 5 Pins CEE plug, black type 2 plug
Eveline Max 22 kW Portable Type 2 Charger

The in-cable device of the charging connector should be set on 30 A. The LED on the charger indicates this by flashing 7 times.


When the Energ-e Pack is charged with shore power,

  • the trailer is immobilized: The trailer cannot move.

  • the charging plug is locked into the charging socket: The charging plug cannot be pulled out of the charging socket.


Note For more information, refer to the manual of the Eveline Max 22 kW Portable Charger.

4.3.2: Connecting with Shore Power

    Caution
  • Equipment Damage
  • Use the dedicated charger and adapter provided with the Energ-e Pack.
    Important: It is not allowed to use extension cords for the charging cable.

  1. Connect the red CEE plug with the shore power connection.
    Do not use extension cables.

  2. For the charging connection of the Energ-e Pack, open the cover of the HMI panel with coin or screwdriver.

  3. Insert the black type 2 plug into the Energ-e Pack charging socket.

  4. When the LED of the in-cable device of the charging connector (Eveline) stays yellow, the charger is ready to charge and charging starts automatically.


The HMI display will automatically light up.

If the Trailer Refrigeration Unit (TRU) is switched on, the Energ-e Pack will supply the TRU — either by shore power or by the HV battery.

4.5: Shutting OFF Axle Power System

Like most processes of Axle Power, the shutting off process is carried out automatically: The system turns off if certain conditions are met.


Axle Power works until

  • the Trailer Refrigeration Unit (TRU) is not on anymore

  • and there is no shore power connection

  • and the truck has ignition off

  • and the battery runs out.

If all of these conditions are met, the Energ-e Pack shuts down after one minute of inactivity.

Normal Shutdown

Nevertheless, there may be situations when you have to shut down Axle Power System manually, for example in case of strange noise or smell from Energ-e Pack.
Shut down Axle Power normally:

  • Press ON/OFF button for more than three seconds.
    => Axle Power System shuts down within another 3 seconds.


1. ON/OFF button    

Automatic Shutdown:

  • Switch TRU (Trailer Refrigeration Unit) OFF and turn ignition OFF. In case the Energ-e Pack is connected to shore power, also disconnect the shore power connection.
    => Axle Power System shuts down after 1 minute of inactivity.

4.6: Emergency Shutdown

If you notice any strange noise or smell from the unit, shut down the unit normally:

  • Turn TRU off,

  • and disconnect shore power connection,

  • and turn ignition off.

With this, the Energ-e Pack automatically shuts down after one minute of inactivity.

  • Alternatively long press ON/OFF button for more than 3 seconds. The Energ-e Pack System shuts down immediately.


    Danger
  • Risk of Injury and Equipment Damage!
  • Stop using the system if the Energ-e Pack is damaged, develops an odor, becomes deformed, or develops any other abnormal conditions during use, charge, discharge, or storage. If you notice any abnormal conditions, contact the Thermo King service center.


    Danger
  • Risk of Injury and Equipment Damage!
  • In case of accidents, keep away from fire and hot sources and park the vehicle in a safe area. Contact the Thermo King service center.



In the event of an emergency (fire, accident), you have to stop all high voltage current flow by cutting the Kill Wire (Emergency Disconnect).

The Kill Wire is located next to the HMI behind the lid which needs to be unlocked with coin or screwdriver.

Elements of the HMI panel
3 Kill Wire (Emergency Disconnect)    

    Danger
  • Risk of Injury and Equipment Damage!
  • Only instructed operators or service technicians with the recommended tools should cut the Emergency Disconnect Wire.


    Warning
  • Equipment Damage!
  • If you are charging the battery, shutting off the power supply on the wall side is recommended in case of Emergency Disconnect and cutting the Kill Wire. Switch off the wall box or pull the CEE plug.


Emergency Shutdown:

  • Cut the Kill Wire (Emergency Disconnect wire).

  • Please move away from the vehicle and follow the emergency communication procedure.
    => Cutting the Emergency Disconnect wire does not de-energize the HV battery and does not prevent hazards associated with the HV battery.


Important This will shut off the system immediately and permanently. Use it only in case of a real emergency.
