Carrier launches engineless multi-temperature TRU

USA: Carrier Transicold’s Vector 8200 is the company’s first engineless multi-temperature TRU, offering single- and multi-temperature capabilities for stationary trailer cold storage. 

The engineless Vector 8200 helps fill the need of shippers and carriers of fresh and frozen food who require fuel-efficient, supplemental on-site cold storage capacity during seasonal peaks, facility upgrades or unexpected demand spikes. 

Using electricity from the grid or other external power sources, the 8200 incorporates an E-Drive energy management system to monitor power draw and adjusts to changes in a facility’s electrical supply, maintaining voltage during brownouts and preventing grid strain when multiple units restart after power outages.

The Vector 8200 is Carrier Transicold’s first engineless TRU with multi-temperature capability. It has four remote evaporator options to cool one-, two- or three-compartment trailers.

It delivers up to 58,000Btu/hr at 35°F, 33,500 BTU/hr at 0°F and 22,000 BTU/hr at -20°F, covering standard refrigerated, frozen, and deep-frozen storage applications while also providing electric heating and defrost — all while plugged into shore power.

Carrier’s APX controls include IntelliSet technology that lets operators select preset commodity configurations and operating parameters, with ProductShield delivering precise temperature control. A DataLink data recorder logs temperature history for quality assurance and compliance recordkeeping.

It also integrates with Carrier’s Lynx Fleet telematics to provide comprehensive fleet intelligence, monitoring and two-way control capabilities.
