Johnson’s Five-Point Process To Achieving The Best R-Value In The Industry

The thermal efficiency of a refrigerated truck body directly relates to the construction techniques and materials used. At Johnson, we follow a five-point construction process that produces the industry’s highest insulation value.
 
Johnson’s five-point process to achieving outstanding thermal efficiency:
   
• Seamless Exterior Fiberglass Panels
• Johnson’s excusive seamless ArcticTherm® interior sanitary liner
• Johnson’s exclusive pultruded polyester fiber strand thermal break
• Void-free, 2.1-lb. foamed-in-place under pressure insulation
• Triple Seal™ door gaskets
A Johnson body provides up to a 26% improvement in Thermal Efficiency, $1,115.00/yr. cost savings


A Johnson body provides up to a 26% improvement in Thermal Efficiency

Based on a 26% improvement in thermal efficiency (based on an independent test), a Johnson seamless fiberglass refrigerated body with mechanical refrigeration will provide a $1,115.00 savings/year vs. a competitive aluminum body. Here’s why:

  • Reduced refrigeration operating hours and maintenance
    • Less fuel consumption
    • Extended equipment life
    • Lower maintenance cost
  • Mechanical refrigeration unit operating costs model:
    • Hours of operation per year            2,200 hrs
    • Fuel consumption @ ½ gal. /hr.     1,100 gals
      • Fuel cost @ $2.30/gal.           $2,530.00
      • Maintenance @ $0.80/hr.        $1,760.00
    • Total annual operating cost            $4,290.00 or $1.95/operation hr.
