Schmitz Cargobull is the first manufacturer to introduce the environmentally friendly refrigerant R454A as standard in the S.CU modular system. In particular, the new unit replaces the proven S.CU dc85 and offers technical innovations that exceed the increasing demands on performance and environmental compatibility. It is characterised by up to 6% higher cooling capacity and up to 10% lower fuel consumption compared with the predecessor model (S.CU dc85).

Schmitz Cargobull’s advanced refrigeration unit

With the introduction of the refrigerant R454A in the S.CU modular system, Schmitz Cargobull is responding early to the stricter EU F-gas Regulation and emphasising its commitment to low-emission transport solutions. According to the German trailer maker, refrigerant R454A has a significantly lower direct GWP value (Global Warming Potential) than R452A and a CO2 equivalent 89% lower. Moreover, the new S.CU dc90 achieves a higher cooling capacity with lower fuel consumption thanks to a newly developed, hermetic 2-stage reciprocating compressor.

Speaking of engine, the S.CU dc90 continues to use the thermodynamically optimised Hatz common-rail diesel engine with an extended speed range. It delivers improved performance and can be operated with the CO2-neutral fuel HVO100 (EN15940).

“With the S.CU dc90, we are offering our customers a future-proof solution that combines maximum cooling capacity with maximum efficiency and sustainability. The refrigeration unit is not only a technological advance, but also a clear commitment to our aim of helping to shape temperature-controlled transport in a sustainable way,” commented Jonathan Steckel, Head of Product Management at Cargobull Cool.
