Carrier Transicold Solara Heater with APX controller

Enhanced heating unit for trailers

May 23, 2018

Carrier Transicold, Athens, Ga., enhanced its Solara heating unit to now feature the APX control system.

Using a Z482 2-cylinder diesel engine, compliant with the Environmental Protection Agency’s Tier 4 standard, the Solara unit can generate 50,000 BTU/hour of heating at 0°F ambient to protect against the freezing of sensitive commodities such as produce, beverages and more.

The APX controller boasts an easy-to-read, full information dashboard-style display that’s pre-loaded with Carrier Transciold’s programmable IntelliSet software to create heating parameters for different commodities. The DataLink data recorder is now integral to the Solara unit, and a USB port makes for easy data downloading and uploading of information to the controller. Plus, built-in diagnostics simplify service and troubleshooting for technicians.

Additional options include:

DataTrak software that enables remote communications via telematics.

 Flush-mount and surface-mount control panels, providing optional control placement on the outside or inside of the trailer.

 Fuel-level sensors.

 An open-door indicator.

 Shutdown switches.

Fuel tank options range from 30-120 gallons.
