6. RECOMMENDATIONS

This unit is not designed to carry special loads which emit

corrosive gas.

These kind of products can impact unit performance, and

seriously reduce component life time.

Please contact us if such products need to be carried.

• Perform a defrost of the eutectic plates at least once a week to ensure

an optimal efficiency of the eutectic system

Any excess of frosting lowers the efficiency of the eutectic

system.

• It is important to check the temperature of the product being loaded

to ensure that it is at the correct temperature for transport. The

refrigeration unit is designed to maintain the temperature of the product

at the temperature at which it was loaded; it was not designed to cool

a warm product.

6.1. BEFORE LOADING

• Check the condition of the inside and outside of the insulated body, as

well as the door seals.

• Your vehicle should always be clean and well-aired.

6.2. WHEN LOADING

• To be carried out with the unit stopped.

• It is recommended to open doors as little as possible to avoid the intake

of hot air and humidity.

• Select the temperature by means of the thermostat, according to the

transported goods.

• Check the internal temperature of the goods being loaded (using a

probe thermometer).

•• Leave a free space of about 6 to 8 cm between

load and front wall.

• Leave a free space of about 20 cm between

the top of the load and the roof.

• Load product on pallets (gratings) to provide

free air return to unit and improvement product

protection.

• Do not forget to close the doors.

• Before closing the doors, check your load once more and see that

nobody is shut inside the box.

it approved by the Regional Health Department.

Characteristics of vehicles used for carrying perishable goods; re-

frigeration unit.

The refrigeration unit is an insulated unit with a cooling system which

makes it possible, with a mean outside temperature of +30°C, to lower the

temperature inside the empty body and to maintain this low temperature

in the following way:

Class A: Refrigeration unit furnished with a cooling system whereby a

temperature between +12°C and 0°C inclusive can be chosen.

Class B: Refrigeration unit furnished with a cooling system whereby a

temperature between +12°C and –10°C inclusive can be chosen.

Class C: Refrigeration unit furnished with a cooling system whereby a

temperature between +12°C and –20°C inclusive can be chosen.

The cooling capacity of a unit is determined by a test carried out in one of

the approved testing stations and ratified by an official report.

The "K" factor of bodies intended to be classified as C must be

equal to or lower than 0.4 W/m2 °C.

Signs, identification marks and plates to be attached to refrigeration

units.

Distinguishing plate:

• Standard refrigeration unit Class A → FNA

• Reinforced refrigeration unit Class A → FRA

• Reinforced refrigeration unit Class B → FRB

• Reinforced refrigeration unit Class C → FRC

In addition to the above identification marks, the date (month and year) of

expiry of the approval certificate must be indicated.
