Improper Airflow Inside the Trailer

Blocked airflow is one of the most common causes of load damage. Stacking product against the walls or covering the return air can cause:
• Overheating
• Ice buildup
• Uneven temperatures throughout the trailer
Always allow space for airflow under, around, and above the cargo.

Your re**er relies on temperature sensors to monitor and control cooling.
If a sensor is even 1–2 degrees off, it can:
• Overcool the load
• Undercool and risk spoilage
• Trigger unnecessary alarms
• Cause the unit to run longer than needed
Regular calibration ensures accurate readings and protects sensitive cargo.

Reduces strain on the unit
Without pre-cooling, the re**er must work harder and longer to stabilize the temperature, which means:
• Higher fuel consumption
• Increased wear on the compressor and fans
• Greater chance of alarms or system overload

Most manufacturers recommend preventive maintenance every 1,000 engine hours or every 3 months, whichever comes first. T...

Most manufacturers recommend preventive maintenance every 1,000 engine hours or every 3 months, whichever comes first. This includes oil and filter changes, belt inspection, coil cleaning, sensor checks, and system diagnostics. Skipping PM shortens engine life and increases the risk of breakdowns and cargo claims.

Ignoring Alarms

Alarm codes are your first warning that something isn’t right.
Ignoring them can lead to:

• Compressor or fan failures
• Refrigerant leaks getting worse
• Breakdowns during transport
Check the alarm code immediately and contact a certified re**er technician if you're unsure.

Airflow Matters More Than Temperature
Even if the re**er is set to the perfect temperature, the load can spoil if airflow is restricted.
Blocked air passages — caused by stacking cargo against the walls or covering the return air — prevent cold air from circulating properly.
This leads to:
• Hot spots
• Temperature fluctuations
• Product damage
Proper loading and spacing are just as important as the temperature setpoint.

Warm air trapped in the trailer can circulate around the cargo, causing hotspots and uneven cooling. Even a short temperature spike can compromise sensitive products like produce, meats, or pharmaceuticals.

This usually happens when the unit is running but not operating at full capacity. Common causes include dirty condenser coils, restricted airflow at the evaporator, low refrigerant charge, worn belts, or a failing compressor. The unit may blow cold air, but not enough BTUs to pull the box down to the required temperature—especially under heavy heat load.

Loading Before Pre-Cooling

Reefers are designed to maintain temperature — not pull down the temperature of warm product.

Thermostat is the brain of the refrigeration system. It tells the unit when to cool, when to defrost and when to stop.
