Features of Carrier ComfortPro® APUs
ComfortPro APUs from Carrier Transicold come in different power and size options. All these machines are highly durable and come equipped with several useful features, so you can be assured of the performance and longevity of your power unit. When you add ComfortPro to your truck, you’ll get the perfect combination of air conditioning, heating, cab power, engine warming, truck battery charging, optional shore power connectivity, and a 2,000-hour maintenance interval for ultimate versatility and peace of mind.
Diesel and Electric APUs
When preparing to buy an auxiliary power unit, it’s important to familiarize yourself with the different kinds of models. Carrier ComfortPro APUs are available in diesel and electric versions, and each style has some unique attributes. With diesel-powered APUs, there’s virtually unlimited power available to heat and cool the truck cab and run the accessories, as long as there’s fuel. These machines can help save almost a gallon of fuel per hour, compared to idling the truck engine. Cutting down the idling time results in even more perks, such as reducing wear and tear on the engine and longer service intervals. In the long term, this reduces the risk of damaging expensive engine components due to excessive idling.
The battery-based electric ComfortPro APUs are compact, lightweight, and exceptionally quiet. While these units are limited by the amount of charge they can hold, they serve their purpose well by taking the additional stress off your truck’s engine and reducing the fuel consumption.
The energy-efficient power management system of ComfortPro taps energy from the truck’s alternator while driving and provides one of the longest run times in a battery-powered APU. Available options add heating, shore power connectivity, and truck engine preheating, with the ability to customize the unit to meet your unique requirements.
ComfortPro APUs from Carrier are your best bet when you need a reliable source of power for your truck.
