Current thermal issues and solutions with SPACECOOL

Long working hours and harsh working conditions during summer

  • Improve working conditions by limiting the rise of temperatures inside of warehouses and cargo compartments

Cargo is damaged by heat Inconsistencies in temperature throughout the cargo compartment

  • Raise the quality of cargo by limiting the rise of temperatures in the cargo

Fuel consumption/ CO2 emissions from cooling the inside of the cargo compartment

  • Cool warehouses and trucks more efficiently while limiting CO2 emissions

Background of Issues in Heat Shielding, Heat Dissipation, and Cooling Equipment for Transportation

＜Work environment＞
Increased work hours in order to keep warehouses pre-cooled. Necessary to implement measures for the 2024 problem*.

＜CO2 emissions＞
Fuel efficiency decreases due to large consumption of fuel needed for cooling
Increased CO2 emissions along with fuel consumption

*A general name given to the various problems that will arise due to the 960-hour annual overtime limit to be imposed on automobile vehicle operators according to the Work Style Reform Laws, effective after April 1st, 2024.

【Insulation material】

  • Load efficiency is reduced due to requiring thick heat insulating material, increasing weight
  • Weak against water and moisture
  • Temperatures rise at night due to heat storage

Examples and Effects of Construction on Dry Truck Containers

Reduced the internal temperature of truck containers by approximately -10°C

Test conditions

Measurement period
September 12th, 2020
Object of installation
Truck container made by Fruehauf Japan (dry pan)
Materials
Aluminum, plywood
Size
2 tons
Locations measured
The interior ceiling and middle of the container

Test results

Ceiling
A temperature drop of approximately -40°C was confirmed compared to before installation.
Middle
A temperature drop of approximately -40°C was confirmed compared to after installation.

Construction example and effect on the cargo bed of the camper

By introducing SPACECOOL to the cargo area, the temperature inside the car is reduced by about -5℃.

Test conditions

Measurement period
June 22th, 2022
Object of installation
TOYOTA Hiace Robinson 771
Work place
Ceiling of loading platform, side x 2, rear 4 sides (installed sunshade made with SPACECOOL on the driver’s seat window)

Test results

Ceiling
A temperature drop of approximately -5°C was confirmed compared to vehicles without the Uninstalled.
Inside the car
A temperature drop of approximately -5°C was confirmed compared to vehicles without the Uninstalled.
