Unit Description
Unit Overview
The Thermo King Precedent C-600M is a multi-temperature
refrigeration system designed to control the temperatures in
two or three compartments (zones). The system allows any
compartment to be set at any temperature.
In the Precedent C-600M unit the evaporator in the host unit
controls one compartment (Zone 1), and a remote evaporator
controls the other compartment (Zone 2). A unit with three
zones has a second remote evaporator, which controls a third
compartment (Zone 3).
The units feature all-new DDE (Diesel Direct Electric)
architecture, the quiet running Thermo King TK486V25L
engine and the Thermo King X-430P reciprocating
compressor.
The C-600M is available in the following models:
Standard: Cooling and heating on diesel engine operation.
SmartPower Option: Cooling and heating on diesel engine
operation and electric standby operation.
