Reduce Diesel Consumption. Lower Operating Costs. Extend the Life of Existing Refrigeration Equipment.
US Gas & Energy is inviting refrigerated trucking companies and fleet operators to participate in our MacSunPod™ Solar Thermal Pilot Program.
Working with Georgia Tech, we are developing a two-phase approach to refrigerated transportation. Our initial system is designed to retrofit existing refrigeration and freezer units, using captured solar thermal energy and thermal storage to reduce diesel engine runtime, fuel consumption, maintenance costs, and emissions.
The next phase will introduce specially developed absorption chiller technology, designed to deliver even greater energy efficiency and operating savings.
Participating fleets will receive early access to this innovative technology, help validate performance under real-world operating conditions, and gain valuable insight into reducing long-term refrigeration expenses—without immediately replacing their existing refrigeration equipment.
The Future of Refrigerated Transportation Starts Here.
*Participation is limited and subject to technical evaluation and fleet suitability.
