Why Do Truck Drivers Idle?

1. Driver comfort
2. To keep batteries charged
3. To warm engine for easy startups
4. To provide hotel power in sleeper
5. Out of Habit

3
Why is Idling a Problem?

• 1. Environmental
• Emissions, health Impact
• 2. Financial
• Maintenance Costs (wear and tear of
  tractor engine)
• Fuel consumption

4
Anti-Idling Legislation

• CARB announced that California aims to ban all
  truck idling by January 1, 2008.
• 21 States and hundreds of municipalities regulate
  truckers with anti-idling laws
• Current regulations limit idling from 0 to 15
  minutes
• Enforcement is increasing

5
The Need for an APU

• Fuel prices continue to rise and are a
  significant portion of the operating cost for a
  fleet.
• Anti-idle laws that prohibit truck idling are
  growing in coverage and enforcement
• Idling is done to keep drivers comfortable,
  engines warm, and batteries charged.
• Idling has a significant cost fuel, engine wear
  and maintenance.

6
New Research Shows Excessive Idling Can Shorten
Diesel-Engine Life up to 20

• One hour of idling causes the same amount of
  wear as two hours or 80 mi. to 120 mi. of
  driving
• -Larry R. Johnson,
• Director of Argonnes Center for
  Transportation Research

TriPac Unique Hybrid System

• Diesel engine used for
• - Air Conditioning
• - Battery Charging
• - Heating Engine Block
• Truck battery and inverter for accessory power.
• Fuel Fired Heater uses Battery Voltage

8
Fuel Saver Technology
TriPac utilizes Thermo Kings Cycle Sentry
technology to maximize fuel economy by starting
and stopping the system based on customer
requirements. This reduces overall engine run
time and lowers fuel consumption and maintenance
costs.

What is an Integrated APU ?

• Ignition
• Coolant Lines
• Fuel
• Controller

10
Why Buy an Integrated APU ?

• Lower overall cost of ownership
• Lower diesel fuel consumption (APU versus tractor
  engine).
• Reduced truck engine maintenance (reduced idle
  miles).
• Driver retention
• Truck cab sleeper compartment climate control and
  electric power.
• Improve overall system reliability
• Providing truck engine preheating
• Provide truck battery charging
• Better for the environment
• Less fuel and emissions

HMI Controller
System Fault Indicator Red indicator illuminates
when an alarm condition occurs and an alarm code
is displayed.
Display Provides temperature setpoint, sleeper
cab temperature, hourmeter reading, and alarm
codes.
Main Power Key Turns TriPac APU system on and
off.
Mode Key Ability to select operating modes of
air conditioning, heating or fan only.
APU System Key Enables the APU to run to
provide sleeper compartment air conditioning, air
circulation, truck battery voltage sensing and
engine coolant temperature sensing.
Up and Down Keys Used to raise and lower
temperature setpoint.
Fan Speed Key Allows selection of fan speed.
HMI Controller is installed in the truck cab,
typically on a wall in the sleeper compartment.

TriPac APU A Wise Investment

• Reduce unnecessary fuel consumption by over 85
  while resting in comfort
• Extend truck engine maintenance intervals
• Reduce wear on truck engine
• Comply with anti-idle laws
