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. 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.
