Thermo King launches cryogenic cooling system

Thermo King has officially launched its patented cryogenic system, called the Green CryoTech, which uses recycled liquid carbon dioxide (CO2) as a coolant. First and foremost, two different systems have ultimately been developed: the CO2 Hybrid and the ST-CR. Therefore, the CO2 Hybrid can be fitted to a conventional diesel-powered HGV cooling system, whilst the ST-CR is mainly for single and multi-temperature HGV operations. Thermo King says that the advantages and benefits of this new and improved cooling system are numerous, and yet, in contrast to the conventional HGV cooling system, CryoTech does not produce a lot of noise during HGV operations.

Furthermore, this particular CO2 technology is claimed to be innovative in offering a system to provide airflow in the load space, which is also essential for fresh produce, and therefore exhausts the cryogen outside the load space. Moreover, the CryoTech does not allow CO2 to enter the cargo area, which is in fact a significant health and safety benefit. Apart from all that, Thermo King claims that its concept offers a quiet operation, noting that it has fewer moving parts than a conventional system. Thermo king is extremely proud of its “green” product, particularly since the CryoTech cooling system is both environment-friendly and HGV-friendly, and thus it is perfectly safe and suitable for both the environment and HGVs in need of a better cooling system.
