BEFORE LOADING:
D
Pre-cool the trailer. This will remove much of the heat from the
inside of the trailer, and give the product better protection when
it is loaded.
D
If possible, place the unit in a defrost cycle immediately before
loading. This will remove moisture accumulated on the
evaporator coil.
DURING LOADING:
D
Turn the unit off!
D
Check product temperature during loading.
D
Ensure that the air return and supply opening remain
unobstructed.
D
Leave approximately 4 to 5 inches (10 to 12 cm) between the
load and the front wall for air return to the unit.
D
Leave at least 10 to 12 inches (25 to 30 cm) between the top of
the load and the ceiling to ensure that there is nothing to prevent
airflow to the rear of the body
D
Load product on pallets to provide free air return to unit and
improve product protection.
Proper air circulation in the trailer, air that can move around and
through the load, is a critical element in maintaining product quality
during transport. If air cannot circulate completely around the load,
hot spots or top-freeze can occur.
The use of pallets is highly recommended. Pallets, when loaded so
air can flow freely through the pallets to return to the evaporator, help
protect the product from heat passing through the floor of the trailer.
When using pallets, it is important to refrain from stacking extra boxes
on the floor at the rear of the trailer, this will cut off the airflow.
