Testing innovative cooling systems


Quieter, more eco-friendly and more economical: trans-o-flex subsidiary Thermo Med, which specialises in pharmaceutical transports with active temperature control, is now testing three delivery vehicles equipped with a new type of purely electric cooling system.

 

Conventional refrigeration units in vans draw the necessary energy exclusively from the vehicle's diesel engine. This can now be avoided with new units that run on electricity. During the journey, energy is supplied by a generator driven by the engine. As soon as the engine is turned off, a buffer battery steps in to provide the necessary power.

 

In a one-year trial, Thermo Med is now testing the practicality of the Mitsubishi TE 30 type electric cooling systems and whether they actually keep their sustainability promises. (ben)
