Refrigeration Built Around the Vehicle

Thermo King V Series systems use a compressor powered by the vehicle engine rather than adding a separate diesel engine to the refrigeration unit. The result is a compact refrigeration solution designed for delivery vans, insulated trucks, box trucks, and urban distribution operations.

Multiple Vehicle Applications

Solutions are available for smaller insulated vans, compartment applications, medium box trucks, rooftop installations, and larger refrigerated trucks.

Temperature Protection

Fresh and frozen configurations can support food, beverage, pharmaceutical, floral, catering, and other temperature-sensitive applications.

Electric Standby Options

Available configurations can operate from electric power while parked, helping maintain cargo temperature without keeping the vehicle engine running.

Built for Delivery

The V Series is designed for local distribution, frequent-stop transportation, urban delivery, and temperature-sensitive fleet applications.

V SERIES FAQ

Thermo King V Series Questions

What is a Thermo King V Series unit? +
Thermo King V Series units are vehicle-powered transport refrigeration systems designed primarily for insulated vans and trucks. The refrigeration compressor is powered from the vehicle rather than by a separate diesel engine mounted on the refrigeration unit.
Which Thermo King V Series unit should I choose? +
The correct model depends on vehicle size, insulation, required cargo temperature, ambient conditions, route, number of door openings, desired recovery time, and whether options such as electric standby or multiple temperature zones are required. Peak Thermo King can help determine the appropriate application.
Can the V Series handle frozen products? +
Yes. MAX configurations are available across several V Series models for frozen applications. The appropriate model and configuration should be selected based on the vehicle and required operating temperature.
What is electric standby? +
Electric standby allows equipped refrigeration systems to operate from an electrical power source while the vehicle is parked. This can help maintain cargo temperature without operating the vehicle engine.
What is the difference between the V-520 rooftop and nosemount? +
The V-520 nosemount configuration mounts the condenser toward the front of an insulated truck body. The V-520 RT uses a low-profile rooftop condenser designed for medium to large vans and certain body-on-chassis applications.
How large of a truck can the V-800 support? +
Thermo King lists the V-800 Series for refrigerated trucks up to approximately 24 feet in length. Final sizing should still be based on the complete refrigeration application.
