Fuel efficiency and harmful diesel emissions are important issues for the trucking industry, and any improvement in fuel e�ciency could save thousands of dollars each year.

With proven expertise in isothermal body works, TSSC is providing an innovative, cost-e�cient, clean, quiet and easy to use system by harnessing the power of the sun.

Our innovative range is the use of solar panels to power the refrigeration units. This application is suitable for refrigerated trucks & trailers designed to maintain refrigerated conditions of the insulated box, which must be able to operate at chiller temperatures (+10 C).

Less Energy Consumption - Harnesses the energy of the sun Cost Savings on Fuel - Eliminate idling and additional engine load through compressor, bracket and belt assembly

Low Maintenance - Eliminate additional load on the engine vehicle ( No bracket, belt or compressor )

Vehicle engine failure does not effect the cooling system

Less Noise Pollution

Long life Battery

Green Technology - Elimination of emissions associatedwith diesel exhausts and global warming

Benefits of the Solar Powered S-Series Units

How Solar Works with RefrigerationThe innovation uses a variable speed, direct current (DC) cooling system, connected to a solar photovoltaic (PV) panel via electronic controls.

Specially designed thin Photovoltaic panels are mounted on the roof of the truck which generate power for the refrigeration unit. The DC electrical power drives the compressor to circulate the refrigerant.

This maintains peak performance in an environmentally sustainable way and helps conserve fuel unlike the traditional method of providing power by running the vehicle diesel engine of the vehicle or cooling unit.

When exposed to daylight, these panels continuously charge the TRU batteries which store thermal energy for e�cient use when sunlight is absent.

The CELSIUS S-Series unit also includes a solar controller that regulates the state of the charge in the battery. This prevents the battery from overcharging and extends battery life. It also directs power where needed (to the crank battery, for example). The solar controller is waterproof and can be mounted in a wide range of locations on the truck.

The solar powered cooling unit also operates on a low acoustic value (creates less noise) compared to diesel engine.

Secondary Charge System

The system stores and distributes energy to reduce the operating costs; speci�cally, fuel costs, engine maintenance, and overhaul costs. The S-series also plays a pivotal role to reduce greenhouse gas emission.

At present, most chilling equipment is powered by diesel

generators. These have high energy demands and

maintenance costs, as well as environmental impacts

both in terms of emissions, which contribute to the

greenhouse e�ect, and noise levels.

In comparison, S-Series solar-powered refrigeration unit

by TSSC uses considerably less energy than a standard

diesel-driven unit and by improving the vehicle’s

insulation and design we enable to keep it operating

throughout the year. Adding solar panels to trucks and

trailers has become more feasible as the cost of

technology has declined.

Reduce Fuel Costs and BecomeEnvironmentally Responsible

Even in low light, the solar panels collect energy to keep

the unit’s battery fully charged and take away the need

to use the engine for recharging. These panels will

reduce fuel consumption by up to 25% when compared

to traditional units operating without the solar panels.

You can also link the unit to telematics and manage the

refrigeration and other functions remotely.

The solar panels are constructed of damage resistance

and scratch resistance material and can be easily and

safely washed .

TSSC is an innovative company specializing in renewable energy systems. Our goal is to provide industry speci�c solar solutions for commercial refrigerated transportation. Our solar energy solutions create everlasting energy for the vehicle and its auxiliary equipment.
