Unit Description
General Description
The UT-1280 is a microprocessor based transport temperature
control system, which utilizes the SR-3 Truck HMI
microcontroller to manage system functions.
The unit is a two-piece under-mount refrigeration unit
designed for truck applications. The condenser unit mounts
underneath the truck and the evaporator mounts inside the
truck body. Two different evaporators are used: the UTSE, and
the Spectrum S-3.
Engine power for the UT-1280 is provided by the TK380U, a
three cylinder, special clean and silent diesel engine rated at
19.6 continuous horsepower (14.6 kW) at 2425 RPM. A belt
drive system transfers energy to the compressor, unit fans and
alternator. A centrifugal clutch on the diesel engine isolates the
engine during electric standby operation.
