Thermo King Shares Expert Tips to Boost Equipment Efficiency

Implementing a robust maintenance program can save energy, time, and money. Thermo King provides its customers with practical “tech tips” designed to enhance maintenance routines, maximize equipment efficiency, and extend run‑time.

Thermo King Tech Tips:

Engines: Whenever you replace an engine, install a new oil‑pressure switch, a fresh water‑temperature switch, and a new coolant thermostat to ensure optimal operation.

Compressor: When replacing a compressor, always install a new drier and a compressor oil filter kit. Run the unit for a few hours while testing the oil with a Thermo King oil test kit to confirm oil quality, and inspect the compressor drive bushings for wear.

Alternator: Whenever an alternator is replaced, fit a new drive belt to guarantee maximum uptime before the next related service.

Starter: After a starter replacement, test both the battery and the charging system for performance.

Refrigeration: If a refrigeration system is opened for service, change the drier to maintain peak performance. If the system has been open for any period, test the compressor oil with an oil test kit to ensure it is free from contamination.
