Introduction
This manual was written to assist with the installation of the TThheerrmmoo KKiinngg TTrriiPPaacc EEVVOOLLUUTTIIOONN Auxiliary Heating and
Cooling System onto a typical semi tractor. While not intended to be specific to a particular vehicle, the information in
this manual will provide the installer with details to correctly and safely install each of the standard TriPac APU
components. The TThheerrmmoo KKiinngg TTrriiPPaacc IInnssttaallllaattiioonn SSttaannddaarrddss GGuuiiddee (TK 56430) provides more detailed information
that must be followed to safely and properly complete the entire installation. Thermo King offers numerous options
such as Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), Power Inverters, Hourmeters, etc. which have separate installation instructions.
These options should be installed simultaneously with the APU when possible to help reduce overall installation time.
Before beginning the installation, the installer should confirm with the customer the location for each of the TriPac
components by using the TriPac Installation Questionnaire. The customer should also be made aware of any
modifications to existing equipment that may be necessary to complete the installation.
Modifications may include:
• OEM components on the chassis may need to be relocated to
accommodate the installation of the TriPac APU.
• Fuel tank may need to be changed to a smaller size.
• TriPac components will be mounted onto the outside of the
sleeper.
• Existing storage space under the bunk will be utilized by TriPac
components.
• Heating and A/C duct work will be routed and vents will be
installed in existing closets or storage compartments.
Due to its complexity, you should not attempt this installation
unless you are:
• are an experienced mechanic.
• can safely lift 75 lbs. (34 kilos).
• are EPA Section 609 certified and trained in the repair and
maintenance of diesel powered refrigeration systems.
• have a basic understanding of electricity and electrical wiring.
• have the necessary tools and equipment to complete the
installation.
