INCORPORATING COLD CHAIN
A Hydro-Joule unit is mounted to the side
of the truck and is powered via a hydraulic
pump, driven by a clutch independent
engine power take off (PTO). Once the
system is operational, the hydraulic pump
delivers high-pressure hydraulic fluid to a
hydraulic motor, which in turn powers an AC
generator and produces the 400VAC/50Hz
needed to power the cooling unit. The driver
has the ability to switch the system on and
off from the cabin by means of an auxiliary
PTO switch.
At this point, the cooling unit can run off
both its own diesel engine and its electric
standby motor. However, by powering
the unit from the more efficient, more
environmentally friendly truck engine, it wi
