Driving costs down with Cool Station: eutectics system offers significant savings.Thermo King have introduced "Cool Station", making the eutectic option an even more attractive alternative for multi-drop urban distribution operations. Eutectic, or "cold plate" systems offer an ideal alternative for urban distribution when there are many door openings per trip, especially for frozen products. With no refrigeration refrigeration, process for drawing heat from substances to lower their temperature, often for purposes of preservation. Refrigeration in its modern, portable form also depends on insulating materials that are thin yet effective. unit running while the vehicle is delivering products, operation is completely silent. Previously, Thermo King's eutectic systems comprised a nose- or undermounted condenser condenser Device for reducing a gas or vapour to a liquid. Condensers are used in power plants to condense exhaust steam from turbines and in refrigeration plants to condense refrigerant vapours, such as ammonia and Freons. unit that was compatible with any truck body design and eutectic plate or beam system. These units, relying on environmentally-friendly R-404A refrigerant re·frig·er·ant adj. 1. Cooling or freezing; refrigerating. 2. Reducing fever. n. 1. A substance, such as air, ammonia, water, or carbon dioxide, used to provide cooling either as the working substance of , are ideal for frozen cargos. With Cool Station, the condenser unit has been removed from the truck, and incorporated into a stationary kit, which stays at the depot whilst the vehicle makes its deliveries. The new, unique, Cool Station concept offers some significant advantages over traditional eutectic systems: * Vehicle weight is reduced significantly, resulting in increased payload, lower fuel consumption and reduced maintenance and operating costs operating costs npl → gastos mpl operacionales * Vehicle up-time is increased, as any maintenance or repairs to the condenser unit can be made while the truck is out on the road. When one unit is used for more than one vehicle, maintenance costs are reduced accordingly compared to traditional systems. * One stationary condenser unit can cool up to three vehicles at one time, depending on condenser model and truck size--so capital outlay capital outlay See capital expenditure. for the operator is reduced, and flexibility during operation increased. The Cool Station is made by combining a multi-coupling and leak-free "quick connector" with Thermo King's already available eutectic condensing con·dense v. con·densed, con·dens·ing, con·dens·es v.tr. 1.

Because the system is based on modular components, operators have complete flexibility to choose the option that best suits their application.

With the new development of Cool Station, Thermo King has made this option an even more attractive alternative for these operators.
