Copeland® Scroll Compressor
Provides excellent cooling capacity and energy-efficient performance. Copeland Scroll Compressors deliver dependable temperature management for transporting chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food products, and beverages.
Advanced MicroProcessor Controller (MPC)
Our intuitive MicroProcessor Controller offers flexible operation, accurate temperature management, and simplified monitoring. End-mounted controllers provide convenient access to stacked containers.
Consistent Temperature Management
The TCR-109 regulates product temperature by circulating glycol or synthetic heat transfer fluid through external cooling coils surrounding the tank. This indirect cooling and heating method provides uniform temperature control.
Optional 12 kW Heater Module
The TCR-109 can be fitted with an optional 12 kW heater, allowing high-power heating when needed in colder environments or for products required to be transported at higher temperatures (up to 60°C).
