| Attribute | Thermo King | Carrier | Thermo King Advantage | Annual Value | Explanation |
| Fuel Consumption | 0.74 gallons/hr | 0.83 gallons/hr | 11% less fuel consumed per hour | $168.75 | Fuel Savings, 1500 hours, $1.25 / gallon, average loading |
| Maintenance Intervals | 3000 hr fuel filter / 3000 hr oil filter | 1500 hr fuel filter / 1000 hr oil filter | Longer service interval ratings for lower maintenance costs | $22.50 | Eliminate one filter change every 2 years (filter cost and 1/2 hour) |
| Cooling System | Radiator with overflow tank and expansion / de-aeration tank | Radiator with overflow tank | Higher cooling capacity and provides protection from low coolant conditions2 | ||
| Engine Starter Motor | 2.0 KW | 1.4 KW | 43% more power for improved engine starting | ||
| Fuel Capacity Center-mount (True Draw Liquid Capacity) | 80 US Gallon | 50 US Gallon | 60% more fuel capacity for longer operating time between fuel filling | ||
| Fuel Capacity Clip-on (True Draw Liquid Capacity) | 125 US Gallon | 122 US Gallon | 3% more fuel capacity for longer operating time between fuel filling | ||
| Microprocessor Controller | Automatic engine Pre-Heating | None | Automatically properly preheats the engine for improved starting, less engine wear, and longer engine life | $80.00 |
Prolong engine life 10% 1 less $4000 engine repair per 10 GenSets over 5 years |
| Microprocessor Controller | 28 Alarm Codes | None | Reduces maintenance costs by simplifying trouble-shooting and diagnosis | $50.00 | Reduce Trouble-shooting time (save I hour per year) |
| Microprocessor Controller | Auto GenSet restarting | None | Automatically restarts the engine after a shutdown to provide the ultimate in GenSet operating reliability | $400.00 | Save 1 load ($40,000) per year per 100 GenSets |
| Microprocessor Controller | Pre-Trip Menu | None | Increases reliability by ensuring proper GenSet operation. | ||
| Microprocessor Controller | Maintenance Timers | None | Provides notification to perform planned preventative maintenance programs | $8.33 | Reduce maintenance time. Avoid randomly checking for operating hours (save 10 min per year) |
| Microprocessor Controller | Digital Display of Operating Conditions | None | Ease of use and simplicity without multiple meters and gauges | $25.00 | Reduce Trouble-shooting time (save 1/2 hour per year) |
| Noise Level | 74 dBA | 77dBA | 50% less noise than Carrier | ||
| Wide Fork Pockets | Large, widely spaced fork pockets | Smaller, closer fork pockets | Increased handling safety | ||
| Alternator Insulating Process | Vacuum-Pressure-Impregnation and double dip epoxy | Double dip Epoxy | Longer life, less susceptible to wear and water1 | $125.00 | $1000 repair costs, 4 yr life vs. 8 yr life, therefore $1000/8 year |
| Hoses | Silicone Coolant & Air Hoses | EPDM Rubber Hoses | Increased resistance to cracking and fatigue for longer life | $16.67 | Save $250 per 3 GenSets over 5 years |
| Isolating mounting system for power pack | Five point solid mounting / components mounted to frame | Most components are mounted directly to the vibrating power pack |
Less damage from engine vibration |
$50.00 | Expected electrical repairs due to excessive vibration |
| Muffler | Stainless Steel | Steel | Increased corrosion resistance for longer life | $12.50 | Save $125 per 2 GenSets over 5 years |
| TOTAL SAVINGS | $1,018.75 | ||||
