DC Velocity - March 2009

Cold front: The new Supra 950MT truck refrigeration unit from Carrier Transicold delivers high-capacity per-

formance and multi-tem-perature refrigeration for straight trucks. Design improvements provide better serviceability, lower sound output, and improved appearance compared to its predecessor, the Genesis R90.

The Supra 950MT system has a cooling capacity of 20,500 Btu/h at a setpoint of 0 degrees F at 100 degrees F ambient conditions. As a split system, it uses separate SlimLine evaporators for each of two cooling compartments within the cargo area. Without a host evaporator at the front, truck owners have greater flexibility configuring compartments.

Electrical systems have also been redesigned to be simpler, more efficient, and more robust for improved reliability and serviceability. Heating functionality no longer requires a separate capacitor module, making the system easier to install.

The new unit features a dual-purpose standby motor. Rather than having separate components, the motor also works as an induction generator, providing power to run heaters and fans. Standby capability allows the unit to be plugged into a power supply when stationary, eliminating the need to consume diesel fuel during loading and unloading.

The Supra 950MT unit also includes an improved belt tensioning system, an extended oil drain fitting, and other features for ease of service. As with the other units in the Supra series, the unit’s
