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.

• 9 lines of data on display

• 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

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

• 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

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.

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

Star Cool CA enables the careful monitoring and control of the amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide inside a reefer.

This means that many fresh fruit, vegetables and ornamentals can be transported further and over a longer time period, yet still arrive in fresh and pristine condition, ready for the supermarket shelves.

The removal of the dual steel and aluminum frames connecting refrigeration unit and container has minimized thermal bridges, improving overall energy efficiency.

The integrated solution effectively reduces overall weight by 100 kg compared with an MCI Box with Star Cool Unit.

Weight reductions of up to 300 kg are seen when comparing to other box/unit combinations.

Reefer containers are undergoing extremely rough handling and tough impacts. This may result in damages, repair and lost time in service. The scuff plate reduces risk of damage related panel delamination as well as deformation and is resistant to scratch and scuff damage that is common on chassis use.

There are 20 fully automated robots spraying a uniformed layer of molten zinc metal onto all Corten steel areas. The superior effect of hot zinc metallization as corrosion protection is renowned and with automation, MCI ensures maximum efficiency and precision.

The raised base design provides greater space between ground and subfloor that can be prone to damage from rocks, twist locks etc that could otherwise penetrate the base panels.

This M&R cost reduction design is made with flat panels between the rugged structural load members which enables simple patch repair should a puncture occur.

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.

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.

The strong doors have been designed following analysis of repair statistics and field observations. They are internally reinforced to ensure life-long operation while providing the best thermal insulation. Door moldings and gaskets are free from rivets and exposed sealant for the best sealing and hygiene characteristics.

Using our unique hot melt application for foam adhesion ensures 5 times stronger adhesion as well as maximum flexibility. This protects the reefer against delamination, and should a small delamination occur, it will reduce spreading of the issue.

Furthermore, hot melt application produces no VOC’s (volatile organic compounds) and is therefore better for the environment than alternative foam bond coatings.

Reefer containers are undergoing extremely rough handling and tough impacts during cargo loading and handling operations. This may result in damages, repair and lost time in service.

The unique box features of the Star Cool reefer ensures higher impact resistance.

The T-floors design makes sure to facilitate air circulation required for maintaining cargo temperature while supporting the weight and loading operations of palletized and non-palletized cargo.

Enhanced back panel support and a robust design to withstand transport rigors, ensuring dependable performance.
