3/12/2007  Thermo King Launches New Heating Unit

Thermo King has introduced its new Heat King unit, offering freeze protection for temperature-sensitive cargo. The Heat King unit is a powerful, forced-air heating unit that works on the same basic principle as a car's heating system. A Tier-II, diesel-powered engine heats liquid coolant in a radiator coil while a powerful blower forces air across the coil and into the cargo area. The result is safe, efficient, dependable heat inside the trailer or container, no matter how cold it gets outside.
The Heat King unit also features a belt-driven alternator that automatically recharges the unit's battery while the engine is running. To deliver the heat to the entire cargo area, the Heat King features a high-performance blower delivery system.
When operating on high speed, the Heat King delivers substantial heat output to protect valuable cargo, even in the coldest of ambient temperatures. When temperatures moderate but remain below the desired product temperature, low speed provides the appropriate amount of heat output, which still protects the cargo and also conserves fuel.
