Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Curtain to Help Maintain Temperatures in Local Refrigerated Delivery Trucks Temperature evaluation tests conducted on 2 of the 5 trucks showed that use of the curtain resulted in a F. Smaller rise in product temperature and a colder inside air temperature as compared with operation without the curtain. Dripping from cold plates was eliminated except for slight wetting near the truck door. It also eliminated the need for dry ice, which one operator had been using on another 2 of the 5 trucks as a supplement to the cold-plate refrigeration, resulting in a saving of over per truck per day. The 5 curtains were examined at the end of the summer and they were all found to be in good condition. The curtains were tested on trucks hauling frozen food and meats. However, there is reason to believe that they would also be of benefit ontrucks used for local delivery of milk, ice cream, produce, or other perishables. Although all of the test trucks had the cold-plate type of refrigeration system the curtain should also be useful in trucks which have other refrigeration systems.
