JOBS for TEAMS | 30 www.jobsfor teams.com Product Showcase Continued electronics strategy. This means simpler wiring and streamlined installation, which ultimately results in higher reli- ability. The advanced design of the new smart remote evaporators also includes electronic expansion valves for better capacity and recovery after door open- ings, more precise temperature control, and lower fuel consumption." The Vector 8600MT unit's smart remote evaporators automatically adjust themselves to varying conditions to ensure optimized cooling capacities and more efficient fuel use, unlike competi- tive and earlier Carrier systems with me- chanical expansion valves that required more setup, a high level of technician ex- pertise and additional adjustments when reconfiguring trailer compartments. The Vector platform's signature E-Drive™ all-electric refrigeration tech- nology means refrigeration and heating operations are 100 percent electric, powered over the road by an onboard generator driven by the unit's diesel en- gine. Electric standby capability is built in, allowing haulers to tap into electric power supplies to run the system when parked, providing quiet, emissions-free refrigeration performance that can reduce operating costs by up to 70 percent compared to diesel operations, while conserving fuel for the highway. As with other 2013 Carrier Transicold truck and trailer refrigeration units, the Vector 8600MT unit incorporates Carrier Transicold's performance-boosting eco- FORWARD™ technologies. Compared to the unit it succeeds, the new Vector 8600MT unit provides up to 4 percent higher cooling capacity at 60,000 Btu at 35 degrees Fahrenheit (1.6 degrees Cel- sius) and 24,000 Btu at -20 degrees Fahr- enheit ( 29 degrees Celsius), while using up to 20 percent less engine power. The Vector 8600MT unit's engine is certified for "evergreen" compliance with the 2013 EPA Tier 4 standard for engines less than 25 horsepower. For fleets operating in California beyond seven years, the Vector platform's stan- dard electric standby capability provides an in-use compliance option for the California Air Resources Board (CARB). Carrier Transicold is also developing an optional engine emissions system that further reduces engine emissions and provides a future CARB in-use compli- ance verified diesel emissions control strategy (VDECS).> For more information about the Vec- tor 8600MT multi-temperature trailer unit from Carrier Transicold, turn to the experts within the Carrier Transicold dealer network or visit www.carrier. com/ecoforward.
