2.1 INTRODUCTION
This manual contains information specific to the Carrier Transicold XtendFRESH
TM
Controlled Atmosphere option.
This manual is to be used in conjunction with the separately bound Operation and Service Manual and Service
Parts Manual for the model of your particular refrigeration unit.
Carrier Transicold’s exclusive XtendFRESH option is a modular system. The XtendFRESH system’s ability to con-
trol container atmosphere is done by removing ethylene and simultaneously controlling levels of O
2
and CO
2
. This
extends the produce ripening process, which results in an increase in shelf life and enables longer cargo routes for
certain high respiring, perishable commodities.
