IceNein
Reduce diesel use, improve cargo temperature stability, and reduce emissions
IceNein for TRU Evaporators
We have developed coatings for TRU evaporators that reduce the impact of ice on day-to-day operations.
Our coatings use a unique mechanism to remove droplets from a surface before they can freeze.
Third party tests have shown that IceNein™ coatings reduce the ice formation rate by 60%, reduce the defrost duration by 40%, and minimize entrained water in evaporator heat exchangers.
IceNein Benefits for Operators
Icing on the evaporator reduces system operating efficiency, and frequent defrosts also release heat into the trailer that must subsequently be removed after each cycle, increasing diesel use.
Diesel and Energy Savings
Our solutions directly address these icing problems and can reduce diesel consumption by at least 5% under most operating conditions.
Cargo Temperature Stability
During the defrosting of iced evaporators, the TRU stops cooling the cargo and releases a large amount of heat into the trailer - this causes frequent temperature swings in the trailer that can lead to food and drug spoilage or a lapse in temperature compliance.
Our solutions directly reduce the duration and frequency of defrost cycles, resulting in about 60% less cooling downtime and improved cargo temperature stability.
Carbon and Pollutant Reduction
Icing of the evaporator reduces system operating efficiency and increases diesel consumption, carbon emissions, and pollutants such as NOx and SOx. Governments are taxing operators for these emissions, increasing operating expenses.
