The T-90 Series
Delivering the capacity, reliability and uptime that fit your demanding schedule, the new T-90 Series of self-powered truck refrigeration units truly offer MORE. The development of the T-90 Series of refrigeration units for straight trucks continues Thermo King’s legacy of customer-focused innovation. Taking self-powered truck refrigeration to a new level, the next generation T-90 Series offers the right solutions for today’s challenges. Whether you’re looking for more capacity, trustworthy reliability and performance, fuel efficiency, unprecedented temperature pull-down and recovery, convenient maintenance intervals, or all of the above the T-90 Series will not let you down.
Benefits
More Capacity
Improved coil designs and optimized engine management, along with many additional improvements, deliver elevated performance — a performance that boasts an increased capacity of up to 35 percent.
Thermo King Reciprocating Compressors
The entire T-90 Series features the latest Thermo King designed and manufactured reciprocating compressors that surpass the technology of the past. With continuously improved reliability, today’s X-214 and X-430 reciprocating compressors are a key component of our new design.
More Savings
With an extended maintenance interval (EMI) of 2,000 hours — the longest in the industry — downtime, and costs are minimized. With longer maintenance intervals, you save money by reducing environmental impact and downtime.
Thermo King SR Control System
It’s hard to beat how this powerful and simple-to-use controller ensures accurate temperature control and efficient operation that delivers industry-leading fuel savings and temperature control. With on-screen instructions, the premium HMI offers a symbolic interface and easy-to-read LCD display that makes precise setting and adjusting of the reefer quick and easy. Using QuickTemp technology, cycle-sentry mode, Fuel Saver II technology, and electronic door switches will all contribute to fuel savings. All of which operate seamlessly in the background; allowing your drivers to do what they do best … drive.
SmartPower™ Electric Standby
Running your refrigeration unit on electric power when stationary is simply smart. Save fuel, reduce engine wear, and decrease emissions. Using SmartPower electric standby can save you up to 75% on fuel costs - now that’s smart.
QuickTemp Technology
Key laboratory application tests have shown that when using QuickTemp technology, the initial pull-down and recovery rates in the T-90 Series are up to 30 percent faster, fuel consumption is reduced by up to 35 percent, and engine runtime is decreased by up to 25 percent versus the competition. Along with these savings, you get better control of cargo temperature and longer unit life because of our patent-pending refrigeration control system.
More Reliability
Advancements in technology and innovation must be proven reliable before they are incorporated into our designs. This is at the core of who Thermo King is. Another key piece of our heritage, and an extension of the products themselves, is our unmatched service and support.
Connectivity
The integrated Thermo King telematics hardware opens the door to TracKing® Cellular. Connectivity to the units of the T-90 Series, and your cargo, has never been easier.
USB Service Connectivity
Easier diagnostics and flash loading of system settings are at your fingertips.
Premium HMI
Standard on the T-90 Series, users benefit from the improved user interface, diagnostic capabilities, and ease of use.
