| Usage
of the Triple Cooler air guiding system |
|
Monotemp:
one temperature in the trailer: The
Triple Cooler provides the perfect
temperatures in the trailer. Not to
cold in front or to warm in the back
! No hot spots between higher pallets,etc..
|
|
BI-temp:
two temperatures in the trailer: The
Triple Cooler provides an air flow
in both compartments of the trailer
with just one cooler engine.
|
|
Multitemp:
three temperatures in the trailer:
The Triple Cooler provides an air
flow in all three compartments of
the trailer with just one cooler
engine.

What
is the Triple Cooler ? |
|
The
triple cooler is a unique, patented system to
transform a standard one temperature trailer
into a multi functional trailer with up to three
controlled temperature chambers. All that is
needed, is the triple cooler with two insulated
partition walls which is al being
produced by Krautz. |

In
a nut shell |
|
The
Triple cooler is a tunnel system made out of
strong polyester composite material. This tunnel system
is mounted
against the roof of the trailer. In this tunnel device
several valves are fitted which are electronically
controlled by a computer. Next, two
partition walls, which can be moved from the front to
the back in the trailer, divide the trailer in
different compartments. Each compartment
contains a temperature sensor which is also
connected to the controlling unit.
Before or after you start loading the trailer, the
desired temperature of each compartment, limited
to a minimum and a maximum
value, is programmed in to the controlling
unit . Next the cooler engine is started and set
on the lowest temperature that is required
during transport. As
soon as started, the temperature
is constantly measured in all the
compartments. If the temperature
rises over the limit, the valves open automatically so cold air
can stream into the compartment. Is the
temperature OK, the valves are closed
again. As soon as all the compartments
have reached the programmed temperature, all the
valves will close and the cooler engine of
the trailer returns to a low range regime. This
remains so, until one of the compartments needs
to be cooled again, in which case the valves of
the particular compartment, are opened and the cooler
engine turns back on. This cycle is repeated
until the transport stops. |

An
air circulation in each separate chamber |
|
The
big advantage of this system is that the
air stream is separately circulated in
each chamber. This means that every
chamber has a separate sucking and blowing
channel both controlled with electronic
valves. Each compartment or chamber is
therefore a stand alone temperature zone
which creates a perfect temperature controlled
environment. An extra advantage is the air
streams at the top op the goods which
creates a very fast drop of the
temperature. |

Unseen
possibilities and loading formulas |
|
The unique design of
the triple cooler makes difficult transports or
loading formulas, easy. It is so flexible it can
create unseen solutions. You can even put
frozen (-18°c) in the back of the trailer,
bananas and exotic fruit (+15°c) in the middle
and chilled (+2°c) in the front. In a next
transport you can put this combination backwards
and so on. Just program the desired temperatures
into the electronic unit and the system does the
rest.

| Blue
tooth & PDA controlling |
 |
The
Triple Cooler is being programmed
and temperature monitored by a PDA
device. Through a simple touch screen
system al the needed info is
programmed. As soon as the driver
starts the system, all temperatures
are shown on the PDA device. |
