Thermo King's TriPac auxiliary heating/cooling temperature management system now offers a 1,000-hour maintenance interval.

TriPac is an APU unit that provides drivers with bunk heat, engine pre-heat, air-conditioning, accessory power, and battery charging while reducing idling and conserving fuel. Since idle time is reduced, wear and tear on the truck engine is also reduced.

With its 1,000-hour maintenance interval, TriPac is even more owner-friendly, allowing maintenance to be performed at the same time as maintenance on the tractor, saving time and eliminating more downtime for APU maintenance. Actual maintenance intervals on the TriPac are further extended when the auto start/stop function is taken into account. This feature turns the TriPac on only when needed, saving fuel and reducing the number of hours the unit runs.

TriPac can be serviced at any of the more than 200 Thermo King dealers nationwide, no matter where the unit was purchased. More iInformation about TriPac can be found at Thermo King, Minneapolis MN.
