Section 4 - Unit Installation Standards and Procedures
Overview
This section defines Thermo King unit installation standards to correctly and safely install the individual components
that make up the complete refrigeration system. Proper installation of each component onto the vehicle is critical.
Improper installation can not only result in poor system performance, but it can also become a safety concern. It is the
responsibility of the installer to follow these standards to assure the components are installed correctly and the unit
operates as designed.
Cargo Box Requirements
The cargo box size, insulation thickness, door openings per delivery day and temperature requirements must be
matched to the Thermo King refrigeration system being installed. The wrong size unit on the wrong size cargo box may
not perform as designed. The interactive Unit Selection Guide should be used to verify the correct unit is selected.
Additional Requirements:
•
The cargo box must be designed and built for refrigeration applications with insulated walls, ceilings and floors. All
cargo box doors must close and seal tightly.
•
Cargo boxes that fail to meet these requirements are not suited for refrigerated applications and the Thermo King
equipment will
not
maintain temperature.
•
Additionally, the cargo box front wall, roof and ceiling must be able to support the weight of the condenser and
remote evaporator. Additional supports may be required and are the responsibility of the installer to supply.

system. . These manuals provide unit specific information to assist with the installation such as oil amounts, refrigerant
capacity, and valve settings. They also explain in detail the correct refrigeration hose and fitting locations and the
electrical harnesses connections. Before beginning the installation, you should review the unit installation manual to
familiarize yourself with the various components that make up your particular system.
