Electric Standby system is also called plug-in electric standby. It uses an external electric source enabling the refrigeration system to operate normally when the vehicle diesel engine shuts off. It works with an additional electric compressor to pump refrigerant gas through the TRU (transport refrigeration unit) when the vehicle engine is off.
In Europe, electric standby functionality has been available for many years. In fact, more than 70 percent of truck refrigeration units in use there today can be switched to electric power when the refrigerated truck is idle.
Here is the benefits of electric standby unit.
1. Reduce operating costs
Although the amount of savings varies based on the current rates of diesel and electricity in a given area, it is estimated that when the reefer truck is plugged into the so-called "shore power", operating costs can be reduced by as much as 70%. This may include during loading and unloading, when the driver is resting, etc.
2. Reduce emissions.
In electric mode, the refrigerated truck can effectively eliminate its "carbon footprint", which is not only good for the environment, but also good for people close to the electric standby unit.
3. When running on electricity, the refrigerated truck can be cold and silent. This is particularly useful for businesses operating near residential areas. Less diesel idling can build a better relationship with neighbors.
4. Companies that use electric standby refrigeration unit can save the cost of maintaining diesel-powered refrigeration units.
