Thermo King TriPac EVOLUTION User Manual

Unit Description
The Thermo King TriPac EVOLUTION APU (Auxiliary
Power Unit) provides auxiliary heating, cooling temperature
management that allows drivers to reduce unnecessary truck
engine idling, conserve diesel fuel and save money. TriPac
EVOLUTION provides truck engine preheating, battery
charging and truck cab sleeper compartment climate control.
By using TriPac, drivers can reduce fuel cost, rest comfortably
during stops and comply with local, state and federal anti-idle
laws. Reducing unnecessary truck engine idling also reduces
engine wear and extends engine maintenance intervals.
TriPac’s own diesel engine uses an automatic start/stop feature
for additional fuel efficiency.
TriPac’s two-cylinder diesel engine is EPA Tier 4 approved.
An automotive type air conditioning compressor is used for
sleeper compartment cooling. A fuel-fired air heater provides
sleeper compartment heat in cold conditions. Voltage sensing
automatically charges the truck batteries from TriPac’s 12-volt
alternator. Noise dampening construction assures quiet
operation. Truck engine preheating provides easier
cold-climate starts by exchanging coolant between TriPac and
the truck engine. An optional inverter provides 120-volt power
to operate on-board appliances.
An optional Arctic package aids truck engine startups in cold
weather by sensing low coolant temperature. The TriPac is
started automatically to heat the coolant as required.
