A new Trailer Refrigeration Unit (TRU) from Utility and Cargobull North America features a microchannel condenser and load-dividing bulkhead.
The microchannel condenser is set to further enhance efficiency, increase output and boost overall performance of the 625 and 655MT Hybrid TRUs which already meet the emissions standards set for 2030 and will now become a standard feature.
The microchannel condenser, according to Utility, features a more compact design, making it easier to integrate into the TRUs and allowing for improved airflow.
Despite its size, this microchannel condenser improves heat transfer and increases the already-high cooling capacity. With the unique Cargobull variable-speed engine control, the TRU maintains optimal thermal performance.
“Our microchannel condenser offers better thermal efficiency, ensuring optimal cooling capacity even in elevated ambient temperatures,” said Schmitz Cargobull President and CEO, Andreas Schmitz.
“At high outside temperatures, the condenser maintains reliable performance, crucial for consistent refrigeration.
“By reducing the refrigerant charge by three pounds, we enhance sustainability and lower both upfront and replacement costs.”
The Cargobull 625 and 655MT TRUs are both California Air Resources Board-certified as ULETRU (ultra-low-emissions TRU) Evergreen units. Featuring additional hybrid shore power as a standard feature, these revolutionary TRUs are exclusively available on Utility Trailer 3000R reefers.
The latest option for Utility’s 3000R multi-temp reefer is the new load-dividing bulkhead from Cargobull North America.
“This moveable, track-mounted bulkhead enhances energy efficiency and allows flexible temperature management by enabling different compartments with varying temperatures and volume capacities,” Utility said in a statement.
“The efficient sealing system forms an airtight seal, preserving optimal temperatures within compartments. This feature significantly reduces air flow and thermal transfer between compartments, optimizing thermal efficiency for partial loads.”
Schmitz added: “The partition wall is designed to be strong and reliable, eliminating the need for a mattress partition.
“It is easy to operate, with no shrinking during up and down movement.
“The wall features automatic pressure equalisation through the retraction of side and bottom seals when opening and is operated by a central locking lever. Additionally, it includes an angle-dependent brake for one-hand operation and automatically locks in the parking position, whether the wall is in the upper or lower position.”
Earlier this month, Utility announced the acquisition of a dealer group.
