EK SERIES A MODEL FOR EVERY APPLICATION

For trailers and trucks

Trucks with a low body or through-loading trailers can be equipped with a split refrigeration machine where the EK condenser unit is mounted underfloor and the evaporator unit RE is installed in the loading space.

Clever design

The low weight, compact design makes the EK Series the smallest unit available on the market. The flat evaporator is only 100 to 160 mm high so loading space is maximized and the number of trips can be reduced to a minimum. Innovative impact resistant design means there’s no need for extra bicycle chassis protection and hard-wearing components make the series low maintenance and easy to service.

At easy in the city

The EK Series is designed for daytime multi-drop operations with a combination of high refrigeration capacity and rapid pulldown, making these models ideal for city distribution.

Whisper™ pro

Thanks to its Whisper™ quiet operation, the EK Series enables you to run the unit at night. Frigoblock’s inverter technology enables full speed control for low noise and boost run mode, tailoring refrigeration unit operation to customer distribution needs.

The latest addition to the series, the EK Whisper™ Pro dramatically reduces operating noise to permit access to noise sensitive areas. Compliant with Piek requirements, EK Whisper™ Pro automatically switches to low noise mode allowing customers to load the trucks at any time of day and night and deliver their services with less impact on urban communities.

EK Whisper™ Pro brings you added intelligence to Frigoblock’s 100% electric refrigeration technology. These units represent our commitment to reducing both carbon emissions and noise pollution, while ensuring food integrity and cargo safety that our customers demand.

EK SERIES MEETING NEEDS WITH SUSTAINABLE INNOVATION

Cost reduction

The savings gained when you switch to the EK Series will outweigh the initial premium, giving you a return on your investment (ROI) than can be lower than 3 years. Cutting-edge envirodrive technology with exceptional high efficiency contributes fuel savings of up to 50% while fewer moving parts result in more reliability and less downtime.

Asset utilization

Industry leading cooling capacity provides the pulldown and recovery performance you need for the toughest multi-drop operations. Our low intrusion evaporators increase the available load space while giving the hightest cooling capacity. Eliminating the need for an internal combustion engine creates a low weight unit with impressively high reliability.

Future readiness

The EK Series is simply the most sustainable system on the market, exceeding all current environmental regulation by a comfortable margin. The secret is in the concept: having no engine to provide emissions, using low GWP refrigerant, reducing CO₂ by up to 50% and meeting all LEZ requirements are welcome achievements.

On top of these, you will be investing in a unit which adapts to all leading vehicle designs and has future vehicle compatibility, whether the power source is LNG, CNG or electric. Most importantly, a fleet equipped with the EK Series sends out a powerful customer message, clearly demonstrating your commitment to sustainable operation.

Flexibility

Whatever your current and future needs, the EK Series has the flexibility to satisfy them. Choose single or multi-temp, pick the evaporators you want from our wide range and be confident that whatever your performance needs, we have a unit with the appropriate cooling capacity. Importantly, our adaptable solutions have been approved by the major vehicle OEMs and we enjoy strong links with those companies for cooperation during their product development.

SUSTAINABLE INNOVATION

Simple. Powerful. Efficient.

What it delivers

Our innovative alternator drive is compact, light-weight, low noise, low emission and highly reliable with very few moving parts. In addition, you benefit from extremely low operating costs thanks to a market-leading operating efficiency of 96%.

How it compares

Our electric refrigeration solution offers the best for you and for the planet.

Our proven inverter technology

Advanced design means you can enjoy a choice of operating profiles, while also benefiting from reduced energy consumption and increased service life. Inverter technology allows cooling capacity and temperature control to be optimized regardless of vehicle engine speed, while also making rapid unit start-up a useful bonus.

Flexibility and choice

Choose the operating profile that best suits your cargo, your customer and your location: Low noise, lowest energy consumption or highest cooling capacity.

Benefits

Innovative use of our inverter system means reduced energy requirements, improved load quality and longer component life.

Built on experience

With over 10,000 full electric units in service, no other manufacturer has more experience, a wider product portfolio or a more extensive service network. Our highly trained and certified technicians will provide preventative maintenance, parts supply and emergency support. In fact, everything you need to keep your fleet in peak condition and your operation running to full capacity.

HOW IT WORKS

A high-performance alternator is directly driven by the vehicle engine. The alternator supplies electricity with minimal energy transfer losses. In the case of a HV e-truck or hold-over battery pack, the electricity is supplied by the battery pack. The power generated passes to the full electric unit via an inverter. The inverter modulates the current so that the electric motors for compressor and fans can operate with optimum control and efficiency.

1 Alternator

Transforms electricity from alternator to power the EK refrigeration unit.

2 Inverter

Delivers constant voltage and frequency to the unit regardless of vehicle engine speed. Guarantees rapid start-up of the unit with low mechanical stress. Provides optimum load temperature control with minimum power consumption.

3 Battery

Power is stored in the battery pack so the unit can operate even when the truck engine is not generating power.

CHOICE
To meet your precise needs

Choice means being able to pair your Frigoblock EK unit with the evaporators you need for your operation. Our ultra-slim evaporators can be used in split combinations but also when you need additional temperature control in your multi-compartment trucks. Thanks to their compact design, a multitude of multi-compartment solutions are possible with optimum load space.
