X marks the spot for Carrier

Carrier Transicold
Carrier Transicold is now offering its X Series trailer refrigeration systems, specializing in reliable delivery of fresh, frozen or deep-frozen products for over-the-road or local fleets.

Built on Carrier’s Ultra and Extra reefer platform, the major XT components — engine, compressor and microcompressor controller — have a 20-year track record in transport refrigeration, the company says.

Carrier XT trailer systems, with higher output control, generate extra airflow to move more air throughout the box, along with extra air-throw to move more air at higher velocity. XT systems surround every inch of cargo with protection and runs at 23 per cent lower rpms to increase engine and compressor life. This also extends the life of idlers and belts, reduces fuel consumption and extends maintenance cycles, the company adds.

To further reduce maintenance costs, Carrier eliminated a fan, coil, belt and solenoid valve in its new system. The condenser/radiator coils are integrated, and removable doors and up-front placement mean technicians have easier access. In addition, the system’s 7mm condenser tubing and an optimized receiver tank design reduce refrigerant charge by six pounds. Less refrigerant, along with Carrier’s extended evaporator, actually increases capacity while reducing maintenance costs.
