Auxiliary Power Unit Slims Up, Pack a Punch
Perrin Manufacturing, a leader in HVAC systems and auxiliary power units (APUs) for vehicles, has unveiled its new PowerCube Slim — a thinner profile of its existing system —which fits the mounting space requirements of the majority of North American sleeper cabs.
Introduced in 2008, the original PowerCube APU gained favor among independent owner-operators and small fleets because of its ability to quickly and sustainably heat and cool a sleeper cab’s living quarters.
The original PowerCube and the PowerCube Slim both deliver 24,000 BTUs of AC cooling strength and 30,000 BTUs of heating power, more than any other APUs on the market. Both units are quiet, with the PowerCube Slim, measuring only 19.5 inches in width,performing at only 75 dB under full load, about 30 percent quieter than an idling class-eight diesel truck.
The PowerCube and PowerCube Slim are currently the only APU designs on the market that undergo and meet the certified testing guidelines of the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE).
“We set our sights on building the highest quality and most effective APU for owner-operators and small fleets,” Dan Koch, president and CEO of Perrin Manufacturing, said. “When independent operators buy an APU, they want it to do its job, to last a long time and to be hassle-free, so we engineered the PowerCube to give them exactly what they want.”
