NEWBASE DC Refrigeration Unit Series: 12V–96V Direct-Current Cooling for New Energy Cold Chains
Cold-chain vehicles are going electric, and their refrigeration units must follow. NEWBASE’s DC Refrigeration Unit…









Designed for demanding cold chain logistics, the ND Series Refrigeration Unit delivers consistent, high-efficiency cooling performance for refrigerated trucks across a wide range of operating conditions. Ideal for transporting perishable goods such as fresh produce, frozen foods, pharmaceuticals, and vaccines, this robust system ensures optimal temperature control from -18°C to +25°C, meeting global food safety and medical transport standards.
Powered by PERKINS engines and equipped with high-efficiency compressors (FKX30/325TK, FKX40/395TK, FKX40/470TK), the ND800, ND1000, and ND1200 models offer reliable operation in extreme ambient temperatures up to 45°C. The units utilize R404A refrigerant, a widely adopted standard in commercial refrigeration systems, ensuring compatibility with existing infrastructure and compliance with international regulations.
With cooling capacities ranging from 3,960W to 10,960W, depending on model and ambient conditions, the ND series is suitable for vehicles of varying sizes and payload needs. The hot gas defrost system ensures quick and efficient frost removal, minimizing downtime during operation. All units include electric standby functionality, allowing for seamless transition between engine-powered and battery-powered operation—ideal for urban deliveries or short stops.
The compact design (dimensions: 1860×1508×668 mm to 1950×1508×668 mm) and optimized weight (402–605 kg) make installation straightforward, while maintaining excellent thermal efficiency. With standard insulation thickness of 120mm, these units support effective heat retention, reducing energy consumption and improving overall fuel efficiency.
Whether you’re operating in tropical climates or cold regions, the ND Series provides durable, dependable cooling—backed by advanced engineering and proven performance. Designed for long-term use in commercial fleets, this refrigeration system is a trusted choice for logistics providers seeking temperature integrity, operational efficiency, and minimal maintenance.
All specifications are based on ambient temperature of 45°C. Performance may vary with environmental conditions.
