INTEGRATED HVAC/APU FROM FREIGHTLINER
Freightliner Trucks is now offering an integrated auxiliary heating/air conditioning and power generation package as optional, factory-installed original equipment on new trucks.
The “Idle Solutions” package, supplied by Dometic Environmental Corp. and Temco Metal Products, will be available on new Century Class S/T, Columbia, Coronado, Classic and Classic XL truck models.
Installations will be made at Freightliner In-Service Centers.
The system consists of a Dometic 14,000 BTU HVAC system and a Temco 7.2-kilowatt power generator. It’s completely independent from the main engine and other truck systems.
The HVAC system consists of a condensing unit, mounted outside the cab, and a cooling/heating unit inside the sleeper. It provides 2,500 watts of heating capacity for cold weather.
The Temco APU consists of a three-cylinder, liquid-cooled 15.8-horsepower Perkins diesel engine driving a 7.2-kilowatt generator using an average of 0.3 gallons per hour of diesel fuel.
