I am shopping for a reefer and since I move a lot of produce I was told that I need 210.
I found 330,but I was told that 330 is designed for frozen goods ,so its not as precise on the temperature and might damage the load by freezzing
Thermo King 330 instead of 210 might damage produce loads

Seems like you could program it to change the parameters in the computer/ECM or whatever.
Besides most produce loads you're going to be running it on Cont anyway.
I'll be interested to see what everybody else has to say. -
It'll work. In a perfect world, everything is made to do a specific job. This is trucking, nothings perfect.

The default program parameters in a 210 vs a 330 might be different in certain temp thresholds but as was mentioned, if this is the case and you feel it could be a problem, the settings can be changed. But I've never heard such a thing as one not being produce-friendly on continuous. The 330 probably has a larger temp differential (intake vs output) due to higher capacity components but they still must work to maintain the set temp
If the price is right, buy it. Take it to a TK dealer and tell them you want it tuned and peaked for produce.Crazy Alex Thanks this. -
210 works at 15k btu and 330 works at 25k btu to -20. 330 has a bigger evaporator for deep freeze loads, thus the greater btu. I don't see why that would matter though, the discharge temp is what matters right? And if you set it to run on produce temps, just having a bigger evaporator shouldn't change the discharge temp. Seems like it would work pretty efficiently.
Crazy Alex and donkeyshow72 Thank this.
