  • Page 33: Product Loading

    7. Product Loading 7.1 Before Loading • Pre-cool the compartment. This will remove much of the heat from the inside of the compartment (including the walls and insulation) and give the product better protection when it is loaded. • If possible, place unit in a defrost cycle immediately before loading. This will remove moisture accumulated on the evaporator coil.
  • Page 34 7.2 During Loading (continued) Product stacking is another important factor in protecting the product. Products that generate heat - fruits and vegetables, for example - should be stacked so the air can flow through the product to remove the heat; this is called “air stacking” the product. Products that do not create heat - meats and frozen products - should be stacked tightly in the center of the trailer.
