Refrigerated transporters (reefers)
Large refrigerated trucks use a refrigeration system powered by a separate diesel engine. This engine is running continually to provide refrigeration, consuming fuel and producing emissions.
CPT has developed the CESAR system to power the refrigeration units of large trucks from the waste exhaust heat energy of the truck engine. There are an estimated 1 million refrigerated trucks in the US alone, with a similar number in Europe, and rapidly increasing numbers in developing countries such as China and India. In the US, environmental legislation is now being applied to the diesel engines currently powering reefer units, requiring operators to update these engines or fit emissions treatment systems. The CESAR system will comply with the strictest environmental regulations, whilst also eliminating the fuel costs of these engines.
