This section defines the Thermo King installation standards to correctly and safely install the SPECTRUM remote
evaporators for multi-temperature refrigeration system. Proper installation of each evaporator 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.
