Thermal Insulation Design

We have 20 years of experience in developing and making our box truck bodies. We lead the industry in insulation and cooling systems, in particular. Why is our performance so good?

  • Workers fill the body with XPS/PU foam core. It has low thermal conductivity and no cavities. This reduces heat radiation.
  • The insulation layer must be over 80 mm thick. The foam density can be up to 50 kg/㎡. The total heat transfer coefficient, K, must be ≤ 0.08 W/m²·K. The design has a broken bridge to reduce heat radiation.
  • The whole body uses a broken bridge design to block heat. The joints are made of patented, heat-insulating FRP profiles. It can increase strength and reduce heat transfer.
  • All door positions are connected by a bridge-breaking structure. Cold air inside the box flows evenly along the walls, floor, and ceiling. This keeps the front, back, top, and floor at the same temperature. It ensures the goods are in a stable, low-temperature environment to increase strength and minimize heat transfer.

FAQ

What are the benefits of using FRP and CFRT panels for refrigerated truck bodies?

Using or replacing our FRP or CFRT foam panels will improve box refrigerated trucks. It is a smart choice.

Our body plastic panels can reduce the truck’s weight. They are better than metal skins, like galvanized steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. Our FRP & CFRT panels are better in many ways. They resist impact, insulate well, and are UV resistant. They won’t perish or deform easily. Our panels do not absorb water. They use PU and XPS foam. They do not delaminate at -40° to 80° (the core and skin separate).

Our new plastic panels can improve refrigerated trucks’ efficiency. We offer a complete service chain. We also offer foam materials based on your truck, region, and use.

What are the factors to consider when buying a refrigerated body?

Buying a refrigerated body is not an easy task for us. Many factors need consideration. These include the refrigerated body’s panel, the insulation, the cargo, the working region, the daily temperature and humidity, the vehicle model, its fuel efficiency, and the budget.

But, you need not worry. We have experts in refrigerated bodies who can solve these problems for you. Click to contact our experts.

What is the most suitable panel material for a refrigerated body?

The best material for refrigerated truck body panels is FRP panels. Their fiberglass outer layer is waterproof, UV-proof, pollution-proof, impact-resistant, and strong. The inner layer is made of XPS or PU insulation foam. It has high strength, impact resistance, and excellent thermal insulation. The foams are closed-cell, rigid, and low-conductivity. The FRP and the foams are bonded with low-temperature-resistant glue.

How to choose between XPS foam and PU foam?

Refrigerated truck bodies using both XPS and PU foams perform well. They won’t let you down. So, how do we choose them as our best option?

Difference between XPS foam and PU foam:

The thermal insulation of PU foam is 0.022 W/m²·K; the thermal insulation of XPS is 0.029 W/m²·K.

PU foam can resist temperatures up to 120 degrees Celsius. XPS foam can resist temperatures up to 95 degrees Celsius. Pressure resistance: PU is 150 MPa, and XPS is 200 MPa.

The key thing is that they are both flame-retardant. So, they are the best materials in the selection process. If you need better thermal insulation performance, choosing PU foam is a good choice. If there is not much need for thermal insulation performance, you can choose XPS foam.
