By carefully balancing compressor and fan speed, StarConomy accurately matches air circulation to cooling demand, ensuring an ideal environment for the produce while saving energy.
Operating the fans at reduced speed once the cargo is at set point means less cooling is needed, as the motors generate far less heat while using significantly less energy compared to operation at full speed.

Dual reefer plug capability
- The standard reefer outlet is rated and
protected to 32 Amps - Star Cool’s main circuit protection is
16 Amps; that is the system max rating - 2.5 mm² (~14 AWG) cable is all that is required
- Two Star Cool units can run simultaneously on a single 32 Amp outlet
– Regardless of ambient, or set temp
– No special settings, changes or software
– Dual capability on standard reefer genset
Display/User Panel
- High definition, large size LCD
- User friendly, intuitive
- Easy access to temperature
development graphs - Logical keypad design
- Critical information on home screen
- 9 lines of data on display
Frequency converter
- This proven and reliable speed control of the compressor secures optimal match between energy consumption and cooling capacity putting cargo care as 1st priority
- Dual compartment protects against water, moisture and dust – separated housing for print board and control/power connections
- Optimized design to protect against potential moisture, shock and extreme temperatures
Next gen compressor
Compressor
This upgraded compressor is based on 20 years of operational experience, representing a fine-tuning of a well proven design. Here are the key features:
- 2-Stage Reciprocating Compressor: Engineered from sea water-resistant aluminum for enhanced durability in challenging environments.
- Increased Displacement: Delivers higher capacity at lower speeds, optimizing performance and efficiency.
- Enhanced Performance and Reliability: Achieved by reducing the maximum speed by 20%, resulting in a smoother and more subtle operation.
- Compatibility: Fully compatible with the original compressor, ensuring seamless integration.
- Unchanged Major Components: Maintains the same aluminum alloy, valve plates, gaskets, motor, pistons, and drivetrain as its predecessor, ensuring reliability and ease of maintenance.
- Designed for and intense tested with refrigerant R1234yf
Fresh air module
- Digital setting for accuracy and safety (CMH/CFM)
- Alarm indication for open vent with frozen cargo or CA/AV operation
- Current vent position and changes to position logged to data memory
- Built in vacuum release safety
Refrigerants
The triple refrigerant compliant Star Cool 1.1 reefer enters the market at the beginning of a new era – the transition to alternative refrigerants, and consequently a gradual phase out of HFC refrigerants (R134a and R513A) will happen during the lifetime of all new reefers being put into service from now on.
Operate and switch freely forth and back without any modifications whatsoever between any of the 3 refrigerants R134a, R513A and R1234yf. Safe operation ensured by approved design following ISO 20854.
Reefer monitoring – Sekstant
An MCI purpose developed Smart Edge device including wide band 4G LTE with global coverage in a single device design, sharing battery with the reefer controller. The gateway connects the reefer container with the Sekstant Cloud and tailored OEM Sekstant user interface
Attachment
Where the Star Cool Integrated combines the machine and box, the Star Cool Unit is built on the original concept of bolting the machine to a reefer box.
8% energy efficiency
The improvements in hardware and software yield in an 8% gain in operational efficiency, compared to reefer industry’s leading unit, the first generation of Star Cool.
Reversed evaporator
Optimizes airflow and condensate removal, enhances protection against cargo impact damage, and ensures uniform temperature distribution.
Coated evaporator tubes enhance the lifetime the heat exchanger and improve the resistivity against aggressive gases and liquids.
Strengthened construction
Enhanced back panel support and a robust design to withstand transport rigors, ensuring dependable performance.
