How can I prevent temperature fluctuations in my refrigerated vehicle?

Temperature stability is crucial in refrigerated transport to maintain product integrity. Even minor fluctuations can lead to spoilage, loss of quality, or non-compliance with regulations. Here’s how to prevent these issues:

1. Pre-Cool the Vehicle

Before loading goods, pre-cool the vehicle to the required temperature to avoid thermal shock when perishable products are introduced.

2. Load the Cargo Properly

Proper cargo arrangement ensures even airflow:
✅ Do not overload or block vents.
✅ Use air curtains or strip doors to minimize temperature loss.
✅ Maintain adequate spacing between products for even cooling.

3. Minimize Door Openings

Frequent opening of doors lets warm air in, making it harder for the refrigeration unit to maintain a consistent temperature. Plan deliveries strategically to minimize unnecessary stops.

4. Regularly Inspect Door Seals & Insulation

Leaks in insulation or faulty door seals can cause cold air loss. Routine maintenance and checks help identify and fix issues before they impact cargo.
