We select and fit cooling units for your body and cargo: engine drive, 220/380 V electric drive, self-powered diesel and electric 12/24 V for electric trucks. Installation, charging and warranty — in Almaty, service through dealer networks across Kazakhstan. Most often we fit them on light chassis — fitting refrigeration equipment on a GAZelle (Next, Business, GAZon): a turnkey refrigerator with the unit selected for the body volume.
The principle is the same as a home refrigerator, only the components are spread around the vehicle.
The compressor compresses the refrigerant and drives it around the circuit. In the condenser (the outdoor unit on the roof or front wall) the refrigerant gives off heat to the outside, and in the evaporator inside the body it takes heat from the cargo compartment. The evaporator fans distribute cold air evenly around the body. The thermostat holds the set temperature, and automatic hot-gas defrost clears frost from the evaporator without the driver, while the cab controller shows the body temperature and lets you change the mode without leaving the vehicle (holding accuracy — down to 1 °C, on the self-powered Supra — 0.1 °C).
The main choice when buying is what the unit runs on.
The compressor is turned by a belt from the engine. The most affordable option for distribution: there is cold while the engine runs. Models: Carrier CITIMAX, Elinzh S-series, Kaida.
An additional electric motor: when parked, the unit runs on mains power — the body holds temperature at night without the engine. Carrier Xarios, Pulsor, NEOS.
Its own diesel engine — independence from the vehicle's engine. For long-haul transport and large bodies of 40+ m³. Carrier SUPRA: −25 °C at +40 °C outside.
Powered by the on-board network or traction battery — a solution for electric trucks and small volumes. Kaida, YIDE, Elinzh 07-series.
Vegetables, fruit, drinks, dairy, flowers. A low-power unit and a body with a 50–80 mm panel are enough.
Meat, fish, semi-finished products. A power reserve and a body with an 80–100 mm panel without cold bridges are needed.
Ice cream and long-distance transport. Self-powered Carrier SUPRA units hold −25 °C at +40 °C outside.
Power is calculated for heat of +40…+45 °C, and for the Kazakh winter the plant recommends only units with a heating function: the cargo must not be frozen either.
A unit holds temperature only in the right body.
The body must be: sandwich panels 80–100 mm for freezing (50–80 mm for cooling), a continuous insulated floor, three-chamber door seals and no cold bridges. Otherwise the unit will run itself into the ground and the temperature will drift. We make insulated vans for a unit of any power and restore the tightness of old bodies before installation.
The mode and equipment depend on the cargo — broken down by product.
−18…0 °C, sanitary requirements, body washing
Validation, +2…+8 °C, temperature control and logging
0…+6 °C, daily trips, frequent door openings
0…+6 °C and high humidity — fast removal from the field
−20 °C and below: an eutectic van is needed for distribution
A kit with installation — Elinge, Carrier or Kaida to suit the body volume. The price depends от объёма кузова, температурного режима и типа привода. Installation и заправка входят в стоимость.
Yes, if the body is insulated and airtight. Before installation we check the condition of the panels and seals; if needed we restore the tightness. Fitting a unit to a dry-freight (uninsulated) van is pointless — the cold will escape through the walls.
Engine-driven units — no, they work only with the engine running. For parked operation you need a stand-by electric drive (connection to a 220/380 V mains) or a self-powered unit with its own diesel engine.
Electric units powered at 12/24 V from the traction battery — with no engine drive. We'll select a model for the body volume and the mileage per shift.
Yes. Vehicles with our bodies and equipment are serviced through dealer networks across Kazakhstan; we do the installation in Almaty.
