Why the S-610DE

  • Two zones, no remote evaporators

    Operate two temperature zones within your trailer without extra evaporators, with one evaporator for each zone in the host unit.

  • Dual lane loading

    Two separate longitudinal temperature zones in one trailer make multiple-zone loading and unloading seamless.

  • No DPF, ever

    CARB Evergreen certification since 2013 means no diesel particulate filter (DPF) will ever be needed.

  • Superior temperature control

    The Smart Reefer SR-4 controller gives superior temperature control, and OptiSet Plus cargo profiles help maintain product integrity.

  • TracKing telematics built in

    Factory equipped with complimentary TracKing telematics, which helps monitor temperature and detects fuel loss.

  • Room for a third zone

    The S-610DE has options for additional zones, and a DE-3 unit adds a remote evaporator to control a third compartment.

Thermo King's S-610DE runs two temperature zones in one trailer without remote evaporators; the zones run lengthwise, side by side, for dual lane loading. It is CARB Evergreen certified, so it needs no DPF, and it uses R452A refrigerant.

Two lanes, two temperatures.

How the S-610DE splits a trailer into two zones, and what comes standard.

Two zones, no remote evaporators.

The S-610DE's host unit has two evaporators: one controls zone 1 and the other controls zone 2. The zones align vertically in the trailer: two separate longitudinal zones, each running the length of the trailer. It's the pick for California fleets that prefer dual lane loading.

  • Two temperature zones within the trailer without extra evaporators
  • One evaporator for each zone, both in the host unit
  • Installed with a center wall divider between the zones

Room for a third zone.

The S-610DE has options for additional zones. A DE-3 unit adds a remote evaporator to control a third compartment: one lane holds zone 2, and the other splits into zones 1 and 3.

No DPF, ever.

The S-610DE runs Thermo King's S-Series engine, which means CARB ULETRU compliance with no DPF. It has held CARB Evergreen certification since 2013, complies with the highest possible EPA standards for engines over 25 HP (Tier IV), and has a fix-on-fail exhaust gas recirculation system.

Questions

About the S-610DE. Anything else, call your shop.

How does the S-610DE make two zones without remote evaporators?

Its host unit has two evaporators, one for each zone. The zones run lengthwise in the trailer as two lanes, for dual lane loading.

Can it run a third zone?

Yes, as an option: a DE-3 unit adds a remote evaporator that controls a third compartment.

S-610DE or S-610M?

Both are CARB Evergreen certified. The S-610M builds its extra zones with remote evaporators, while the S-610DE gets two zones from its host unit. For California fleets, the S-610DE is the pick if you prefer dual lane loading, and the S-610M if you don't.

Can I run it in California?

Yes. The S-610DE has held CARB Evergreen certification since 2013, and its S-Series engine means CARB ULETRU compliance with no DPF.

Can it run on electric standby?

As an option. SmartPower electric standby comes in standard and high output (HO) versions, with 230-volt and 460-volt three-phase motors. On electric power the S-610DE is rated at 44,000 BTU/hr at 35°F, both zones combined; ask your shop for the performance of a specific option.

What refrigerant does it use?

R452A, with a charge of about 17 lbs. It reduces the carbon footprint of refrigerants used by fleets by nearly 50%.

Is telematics included?

Yes. Every S-610DE is factory equipped with 24 months of complimentary TracKing telematics.

How often does it need service?

The maintenance interval is 3,000 or 4,000 hours, and the 1,500-, 3,000-, and 4,500-hour/annual inspections should be performed by an authorized Thermo King dealer. TKSE is one, with factory-trained technicians at seven shops in Florida, Georgia, and Mississippi.
