In India, refrigerated road transport is crucial for the safe circulation of fresh and frozen perishables. The need for efficient and reliable cooling technology for urban deliveries is rapidly increasing. Carrier Transicold has designed the Citimax direct-drive range to meet these requirements and supply Indian customers with a unit combining cold chain protection with exceptional value.
“Carrier Transicold is synonymous with quality and reliability in the Indian market,” said Ashok Mirchandani, Managing Director, Carrier Transicold Asia-Pacific region. “The new Citimax range reinforces this by providing customers with the refrigeration capacity and performance they need for urban applications at an affordable price.”
Initially available in two versions, the Citimax 500, using non-ozone-depleting refrigerants R134a or R404a, delivers refrigeration capacity up to 5100 watts in high ambient temperatures. The units also offer precise temperature control with set points maintained within one degree celsius of the pre-determined temperature, ensuring that perishable goods are maintained in the proper condition from depot to destination. Due to quick pre-cooling and rapid recovery after each door opening, the Citimax range is capable of reaching the set point 20 per cent faster than previous direct-drive units, enabling reduced load times.
The Citimax range is an easy-to-install and simple-to-use product that builds on Carrier Transicold’s experience in developing quality refrigerated solutions in line with market needs.
The range was developed by Carrier’s Global Lead Design Centre, using proven components from the refrigeration industry. In addition, all parts are certified through quality processes and the units are tested before leaving the production site. Designed to operate in urban applications, Citimax units offer a standard and proven direct-drive technology with power derived directly from the vehicle engine.
