PrimAir™ Air Management Systems | Thermo King

A complete line of solutions for improving the temperature management of your cargo.

Proper airflow from the refrigeration unit in a trailer is critical to ensure even temperature distribution within the trailer. The use of chutes is critical to prevent top-freeze in produce hauling, and using a return air bulkhead helps reduce the risk of short-cycling.

The full line of PrimAir chutes, return air bulkheads, and insulated bulkheads can be used to ensure optimal airflow and even temperature distribution, reducing hot spots in a trailer that can negatively impact the quality of the product being transported.
