Anti-Idling Climate Control System
Exploiting the Innovative Thermal Battery Technology and Using NO Engine or GenSet

Français

 

 

HEATING

- Up to 24h in heating
- Require less than 1 l of fuel per 6 hours
  (up to 20 times less fuel than the truck's engine idling)

COOLING

- From 4 to 8 hrs
  (up to 12 hrs in optimum conditions)
- Fast Recharge (around 20 min)

COMPLY WITH THE NEW ANTI-IDLING REGULATION IN THE US AND CANADA

- Reduce GHG Emissions caused by Engine Idling by more than 80%
- Used when engine is Off
- Minimize pollution and noise
- Reduce Engine Idling and Fuel Consumption

TYPICAL PAYBACK BETWEEN 12 AND 18 MONTHS

- Potential Energy Savings de 6 000 $ to 8 000 $
- Reducing idling, gives lower maintenance cost and engine wear
