A THERMO KING EUTECTIC SYSTEM FOR EVERY TRUCK BODY LENGTH.
Because every delivery situation is different, it is important to properly match a eutectic unit to the truck body length and the distribution habits of the vehicle being equipped. The following table is a guide to assist in that process. You will want to determine a selection decision with your O.E.M. or body builder. And, as always, you may want to consult your Thermo King Dealer.
WHY CHOOSE EUTECTIC CONDENSING SYSTEMS
Proven design and construction in nosemount and undermount applications.
The proven design and construction of these condenser units feature highly efficient semi-hermetic compressors housed in solid durable steel frames to cool small- to medium-size truck delivery applications. A complete product line works with any eutectic plate or beam systems in any cargo compartment configuration.
A Thermo King solution for every delivery situation
- The F condenser section units are designed to be over-cab located.
- The FL-condenser section units are designed to be undermount located on the truck or used as “Cool Station”. In this case, the condensing section is connected to the truck (S) by the means of multi-coupling quick connectors and is stationary to save weight and increase payload.

COOL STATION
Flexible and economic stationary Eutectic Condensing systems
The system offers the following benefits: Economical option, Weight reduction, Lower maintenance costs, Flexibility.
With a Cool Station kit, it is possible to have a stationary eutectic unit simply by combining a quick connector with a eutectic condensing section (F-3L, F-4L or F-5L). This new system has the following features:
Economical solution
One condensing section can be used with one, two or three vehicles sharing the cost between them to provide an economical solution.
Weight reduction
A stationary unit significantly reduces overall vehicle weight. This means an:
— Increase in payload capacity
— Reduction in fuel consumption
— Reduction in vehicle maintenance
— Reduction in driver costs as these are directly related to the weight of the vehicle
Maintenance costs and downtime
As the unit is not installed on the truck, the unit may be serviced while the truck is working. When one unit is used for more than one vehicle, the maintenance costs are reduced as only one unit needs to be serviced.
Safety
— A warning light may be installed in the cabin, linked to the vehicle engine, ensuring that the driver does not start the engine with the connectors attached
— The connector has a cover attached to protect it from dust and dirt when mounted under the truck body
Kit Contents
— Quick connectors with refrigeration and electrical connections
— Unit stand
— Supporting bracket for fittings and connections
— Connecting hoses and fittings
— Condenser top grill
Flexibility
With three distinct kits compatible with two different eutectic condensing systems, customers can freely pick the solution that best suits their needs.
— F-3L / F-4L with one quick connector for use with one vehicle
— F-5L with two quick connectors for use with one or two vehicles
— F-5L with three quick connectors for use with up to three vehicles
Even if customers select the system designed for three vehicles, it can still operate with just one, two, or all three vehicles connected, as shown in the figure.
