Maximum Performance, Minimal Environmental Impact: Trailer Refrigeration Single and Multi Temperature
Trailer Refrigeration
Single and Multi Temperature
As the industry benchmark, Thermo King’s SL range for trailer refrigeration offered
exceptional performance and reliability as well as a wealth of cost-saving benefits. 3
Retaining the best from the SL range and keeping your precise needs in mind,
Thermo King’s new SLX and SLX Spectrum take it one step further.
The SLX range delivers reduced fuel costs, whisper-quiet operation, efficient load
protection and unmatched ease of use. By minimising fuel consumption, engine
emissions and operating noise, the SLX provides you with the ideal temperature
control solution for an environmentally-responsible operation.
SLX
From the start of the SLX development project, a key deliverable was
reduction of environmental impact. The design team conducted a life cycle
assessment of the SL range to identify areas where the greatest gains could be
achieved without compromising cost of ownership or performance. The result is a
product range with a substantially reduced environmental footprint.

Reduction of exhaust emissions
For refrigeration equipment, emissions of particulate
matter, non-methane hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides
(PM, NMHC and NOx) are regulated by EU Stage IIIA
(Directive 97/68/EC). The GreenTech engine in the
SLX range has reduced exhaust emissions to a point
substantially below this requirement.
The GreenTech symbol is your guarantee that the
SLX range features the TK 486V environmentally-friendly
engine.

Whisper-quiet operation
Noise can both be contained and reduced at the source. With the SLX you benefit from both approaches.
Thanks to the integration of low-noise components running at lower speeds, sound levels are reduced significantly.
The result is a whisper-quiet unit, increasing driver comfort and permitting operation in noise-sensitive environments.
Nowhere is low noise more important than for delivery operations in densely populated areas. As delivered, and without
the addition of “sound kits”, the SLX Spectrum is substantially quieter than its predecessor.

Total load protection
Top-quality product delivery, increased shelf life, reduced load times… these are only a few of the essentials
your business depends on. The SLX delivers maximum cooling capacity when you need it: during temperature pull-
down for rapid pre-cooling and during temperature recovery after door openings.
With the SLX range, you get the power you need, when you need it, to ensure protection of the most delicate
and valuable cargo.

The SR-2 controller. Optimise your SLX the easy way.
Driven by growing concerns over product quality, governments and customers worldwide are
demanding tighter control and more accurate monitoring of temperatures throughout the cold chain.
Raw cooling capacity is only one factor determining the performance of a temperature control system.
The industry’s most advanced controller is also the simplest to use. Now, multi-temperature trailer operators
can view and control all compartments on one screen, with one set of controls.

The inside story: a new benchmark in reliability
The challenge in developing the SLX range was to reduce downtime and maximise
equipment utilisation. This has been achieved by a process of evolution: retaining
the best features of the SL while applying innovative design and material solutions
to further raise standards of reliability.
Individual components are now even more rugged and their operating environment
more benign. Our most rigorous test programme ever has included years of nonstop
endurance runs. Customer field trials were held in the most adverse conditions,
from Pole to Pole. These have amounted to the equivalent of over 11 million kilometres.

Paired, high-efficiency blowers providing uniform airflow
through condenser for maximum use of available capacity.

pulley alignment. Auto-tensioners and poly-v belts deliver
exceptional belt life.
With the SLX range we provide a broad portfolio of models to meet your specific needs.
Whether you work in a long haulage transport environment, urban distribution, in extremely
high or low ambient temperatures, on road or rail, Thermo King provides a model suited
to your application. And a range of options to customise that model to your specific
requirements. All SLX models can be used for transport of fresh AND frozen products.
