Johnson Refrigerated Truck Bodies has developed and patented an auto-defrost option for Johnson Premier fiberglass truck bodies equipped with RouteMax and cold plate/blower systems.
No Labor. Greater Protection.
The defrost function is 100% automatic after it’s plugged in, and it requires zero man hours. The daily defrost function keeps frost from building up on the plates, so they operate more efficiently and provide greater protection for cold products.
No Water. Less Energy. Less Downtime.
Environmentally speaking auto-defrost is beneficial because no water is used to defrost the plates whereas cold plate systems without auto-defrost use up to 150 gallons of fresh water per day to defrost plates. It also takes less condensing unit operation time and energy to recharge cold plates that are not covered with frost build-up.
100% Automatic.
Each day when the refrigeration system is plugged in to recharge the plates, auto-defrost kicks-in to defrost the cold plates. The system automatically goes into a defrost cycle for a period of time, typically one-hour. When the defrost cycle is complete it switches back to refrigeration mode to recharge the plates.
Helps Address Run-Off Concerns
Cold plate refrigeration with auto-defrost is a breakthrough solution for many companies located in geographic areas where water run-off is forbidden. These areas include any city, township, county or state that has ordinances prohibiting water run-off.
Auto-defrost is available on new RouteMax, all-electric clean and green refrigeration and traditional cold plate/blower systems. |
