    Curious to know, what average GPH do most reefers attain. I am not talking specific temps here, just an avergae GPH hauling farm produce (not frozen).

    I would say, at about 35 to 40 degrees in warm weather, under 10 gallons a day, in a new(er) reefer. My company runs pretty new equipment.

    The same in an old reefer, about 15 to 17 gallons in a day. I mean in 24 hours when I say in a day.

    You need to consider if the unit is cycling on/off or constant running and what it is set at. -20 ice cream load VS 34 degree produce load make a big difference. :biggrin_25519:
