Many people assume a re**er can cool down warm product.
In reality, refrigeration units are designed to maintain temperature.
Loading warm product causes:
• Rapid temperature spikes
• Moisture buildup
• Overloading of the system
Pre-cooling both the trailer and the cargo is essential.

Let the re**er reach the setpoint and hold it before loading. Keep doors closed during pre-cool to prevent heat and humidity from entering.
A few extra minutes of pre-cooling can save thousands of dollars in rejected loads and repairs.

Ice buildup is usually caused by poor defrost operation, high humidity from frequent door openings, damaged door seals, or restricted airflow. When the evaporator ices over, airflow drops and cooling performance suffers, even if the compressor is working. Proper defrost cycles and clean airflow paths are essential.

Dust, debris, or ice on evaporator and condenser coils acts like insulation.
When coils are dirty, the unit must work harder to pull heat out, which results in:
• Higher fuel consumption
• Longer run times
• Poor cooling performance
• Increased wear on components
A simple coil cleaning can significantly improve energy efficiency.

Protects product quality and shelf life
Starting at the right temperature ensures that the product stays within the safe range from the moment it’s loaded. This helps maintain freshness, reduces spoilage, and keeps you compliant with food safety guidelines.

Improper Airflow Inside the Trailer

Blocked airflow is one of the most common causes of load damage. Stacking product against the walls or covering the return air can cause:
• Overheating
• Ice buildup
• Uneven temperatures throughout the trailer
Always allow space for airflow under, around, and above the cargo.

Your re**er relies on temperature sensors to monitor and control cooling.
If a sensor is even 1–2 degrees off, it can:
• Overcool the load
• Undercool and risk spoilage
• Trigger unnecessary alarms
• Cause the unit to run longer than needed
Regular calibration ensures accurate readings and protects sensitive cargo.

Reduces strain on the unit
Without pre-cooling, the re**er must work harder and longer to stabilize the temperature, which means:
• Higher fuel consumption
• Increased wear on the compressor and fans
• Greater chance of alarms or system overload

Most manufacturers recommend preventive maintenance every 1,000 engine hours or every 3 months, whichever comes first. This includes oil and filter changes, belt inspection, coil cleaning, sensor checks, and system diagnostics. Skipping PM shortens engine life and increases the risk of breakdowns and cargo claims.

Ignoring Alarms

Alarm codes are your first warning that something isn’t right.
Ignoring them can lead to:

• Compressor or fan failures
• Refrigerant leaks getting worse
• Breakdowns during transport
Check the alarm code immediately and contact a certified re**er technician if you're unsure.
