Carrier Refrigeration

one million The XtendFRESH system's ability to remove ethylene – a hormone given off by ripening produce that will accelerate ripening if left unchecked – while actively controlling oxygen and carbon dioxide levels, is key to its performance and distinguishes it from other products for container atmosphere control. By slowing the ripening process, the XtendFRESH system significantly lengthens the amount of time produce can spend in refrigerated transit – by more than double in some cases. "On any given day, the value of cargo delivered by Carrier Transicold units alone is valued at $6 billion," Appel said. "Indeed, Carrier Transicold systems and our global service and support network play a significant role in ensuring the well-being of a growing global population by providing the safe, reliable transport of produce, meat, seafood, vaccines and medicine from hemisphere to hemisphere, 24 hours a day, every day of the year." w 1 Millionth Unit | ContainerLINE November 2014 "Our latest Carrier PrimeLINE units include the innovative XtendFRESH atmosphere control system, which will help ensure optimal cargo quality over longer voyages," Michel said. "CMA CGM's commitment to innovative technology and quality equipment is the foundation for our superior customer service and support." Helping to inaugurate Carrier Transicold's second million, CMA CGM has since ordered an additional 4,000 refrigerated containers, of which 3,000 will be equipped with PrimeLINE units and the balance ThinLINE ® units. Acquired for fleet expansion and replacement, they will serve routes delivering perishables from Africa and South America to Europe. In addition to unmatched performance, the PrimeLINE unit offers several environmentally sustainable features, including the unit's validation by UL Environment as having a 93 percent recyclability rate, joining Carrier's NaturaLINE™ unit as the only container refrigeration units to achieve recyclability validation. The PrimeLINE unit also delivers greater cooling capacity for perishable loads than any other container refrigeration system using non-ozone depleting R-134a refrigerant. Assuming all 1 million Carrier units ever sold were refrigerating a 40-foot container with bananas. 5
