Nose-Mount Medium-Large Cargo Van Refrigeration Unit

The V-520 Nosemount is part of Thermo King’s V-Series direct-drive refrigeration lineup. Powered by the truck engine through an engine-mounted compressor, it is intended for operators requiring reliable refrigerated transport without the dedicated diesel engine used on larger truck refrigeration systems.

For Canadian fleets operating food distribution, grocery delivery, pharmaceutical transport and other temperature-controlled applications, selecting the correct refrigeration configuration depends on required operating temperature, vehicle size, route profile and loading practices. Thermo King Eastern Canada works with fleets to specify the appropriate V-520 configuration, coordinate installation and provide factory-trained service throughout the equipment lifecycle.

Muffler kit

Purpose-designed kit to eliminate transmission of unit vibration and noise into the driver cab. Provides significant gains in driver comfort.
