Thermo King Unveils Spectrum Line

Thermo King has introduced Spectrum, a new line of temperature control systems designed to replace its current Whisper line of trailer reefer units by the end of this year. The three Spectrum models-Spectrum SB, Super II, and DE-offer 25% to 35% more capacity, 25% more airflow, and 20% faster pull-down of trailer temperature than Thermo King’s Whisper line, the company says. It adds that Spectrum is designed to deliver several different kinds of temperature zones with one trailer at better economics in terms of maintenance and pull-down costs than before.

The Spectrum SB reefer model allows for three temperature-controlled zones to be established within the trailer, while the Super II allows for two zones and the DE for one zone. Maintenance intervals on all Spectrum models are 3000 hours, double what Thermo King delivers in the Whisper line.
