Environmentally Friendly Refrigeration of ETRUs
You’ve heard that electric transport refrigeration units are better for the environment but want to know more. How and why are eTRUs better for the environment? Read on to find out.
Transport Refrigeration Units (TRUs) are used to move a variety of products that require a temperature-sensitive environment, such as food, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and more. While refrigerated freight transportation is necessary for trade and the economy, it has a harmful effect on the environment. Part of the reason is because the industry standard for powering TRUs is diesel fuel, and diesel brings with it a number of environmental issues.
Diesel pollution is dangerous to the planet and its human population. Not only does diesel emit CO2, a greenhouse gas, it contributes to air pollution, which causes human health issues. Fortunately, good news lies in the technology behind Corunclima electric refrigeration units.
Electric Transport Refrigeration Unit (eTRU) is the term used to describe alternatives to conventional diesel-powered TRUs. The category includes all electric TRUs. In an all-electric TRU the compressor is driven solely by an electric motor that gets power from onboard batteries. The batteries can be charged with onboard solar panels as well as a wheel generator that is built into the trailer axle for additional charging power while on the road. All electric refrigeration units need to be plugged in when they return to home base in order to fully recharge the onboard batteries.
Corunclima electric refrigeration units combine advanced technology with unbeatable performance, providing a significant reduction in fuel consumption without losing the power needed for refrigerated transport. The perfect solution for those looking for economy and sustainability!
