Refrigerated van: what do you take into account?

A refrigerated van comes in all imaginable shapes and sizes. You can also decide whether to get a new or a used van. Finally, there is the choice of the type of cooling system to suit your use.

Choice of van

As for the type of van with cooling, the choice is vast and depends mainly on the specifications you want from the car. If you want a new car, you can have it fitted with a cooling system. You are thus more free to choose the type of car.

If you want a used car, then there are many choices on the market. From small, such as the Volkswagen Caddy format, to large, such as the Iveco Daily. There is also the option of buying a standard van and having it converted into a refrigerated van by a specialised company.

Choice of refrigeration system

Different types of refrigeration systems are available, with the choice depending on the desired use. Basically, the insulated cargo compartment and chiller are designed to maintain the temperature, not recool it. Only Eutectic cooling is also used for temperatures down to at least -30 degrees Celsius.

For a standard van with cooling, down to at least 0 degrees Celsius, the options include the integrated mounting, invisibly built away, or the roof mounting, where the cooling is on the roof. There is also the aerodynamic hood, a method of half-built into the roof, and the headwall mounting, known for mounting on the front of refrigerated vans. Want to have a refrigerated truck converted?
