The body is also designed with 4-inch polystyrene foam insulation to keep temperature cool, and uses the Thermal Master T-1600 refrigeration, which can produce attainable temperature of negative 20 degrees Celsius.

Outside, it has stainless lock rod and hinges, as well as side door access for added convenience. On the inside, refrigeration system is powered by Frigid Air 45, with attainable temperature of negative 25 degrees and uses a 4-inch polyurethane foam insulation.

The same system is also used on the HD65 MedTRX. Its Frigid Air refrigeration system allows for attainable temperature of negative 25 degrees Celsius, and comes ready with Electric Standby Unit and Automated Thermoregister to help maintain and monitor the van’s temperature. With these features, the HD65 MedTRX refrigerated van complies with World Health Organization or WHO, United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or US CDC, and United States Food and Drug Administration or US FDA guidelines, and WHO recommended vaccine storage temperature range of +10 degrees Celsius to negative 25 degrees Celsius.
