The production of isometric type vans is very important. This applies to the transportation of various refrigerated and perishable products. Each isothermal van is able to ensure compliance with all norms and rules of temperature regimes (both cold and warm). The principle of operation of such a body resembles an ordinary thermos, which maintains a certain temperature. At the same time, the design of the machine must meet all the standards of sealing and aerodynamics, especially for transportation by refrigerator. Therefore, even in production, special requirements are imposed on it - the heat transfer coefficient, isothermality and tightness of the body are checked in special laboratories.

Design

Stainless, plated and galvanized steel, aluminum, reinforced plastic and laminated plywood are used for the production of such machines. As a heater, polyurethane foam, polystyrene foam or polystyrene foam can be used. The base of the body is a rigid frame lift, which is mounted on the chassis with fasteners.car along the frame. Double doors have rubber seals that provide sealing and protection against dust and moisture. The doors open to 270 degrees, special power elements in the form of a latch and a cam make it possible to provide the most simple and easy opening, the doorway receives additional rigidity, and the likelihood of hacking is reduced. It is worth noting that GAZelle can produce an isothermal van on order, while it is very important to comply with all requirements.

Van models

The basis of such machines are thermal insulation materials, which provide warmth in winter and coolness in summer. Refrigerated transportation allows you to freeze products for their transportation; for this, the car is additionally equipped with refrigeration equipment. That is why isothermal models are the best option, which is great for solving various problems, and can be used in a variety of areas.

At the moment there are several types of vans:

• caravans and refrigerated vans;
• Sandwich panel vans and isothermal vans;
• frame isothermal vans.

Types

In our country, the most popular base for such vans are GAZelle cars. Today, there are two main types of construction - sandwich panels and frame. In the first case, the isothermal van has multi-layer special plates, all panels are glued together invacuum under pressure, which gives high thermal insulation characteristics and resistance to large temperature differences and additional loads. The second type has an all-metal frame of three layers: galvanized outer sheets, heat-insulating materials in the middle and outer clad material. High-quality thermal insulation is ensured by the thickness of the materials at least 75 mm. For the production of such machines, the most modern technologies are used, which allows them to provide durability, resistance to aggressive environments, natural phenomena and corrosion. This is what makes these vans durable and practical.

Perfect

As already mentioned, in our country an isothermal van based on GAZelle is the most optimal, profitable, popular and durable option. It not only costs less than imported counterparts, but is also more economical, lasts longer, is unpretentious in maintenance and is perfect for operation in Russian conditions. Such cars feel great on domestic roads and cope well with their tasks in any period of the year. Of particular note are the new GAZelle NEXT models. These are modern cars for all occasions, which not only managed to catch the fancy of car owners, but were also noted by many experts in this field as a car that meets all the requirements of drivers.

Sealing

The main requirement in the production of such machines is that they must have high-quality insulation in a circle (walls, floor,ceiling). As already mentioned, ordinary foam plastic (polystyrene foam) is most often used as a heater, the thickness of which should be at least 40 maximum - 100 mm, there are modifications of 50 and 75 mm. When laying insulation in the GAZelle, the isothermal van can be additionally treated with polyurethane foam filling, which smears corners and cracks, which avoids the so-called cold bridges and gives the highest quality foam laying. It is worth noting that models with sandwich panels are considered the best options for installing various automotive refrigeration equipment.

Special Design

The GAZelle isothermal van is a special development of domestic specialists aimed at meeting the needs of companies, private drivers and small entrepreneurs in the transportation of perishable products, for which this or that temperature regime is very important. Thus, a large niche was occupied in the transportation of food, flowers, medicines and the like, where only imported and rather expensive freezer vans were presented. The designers of this van were able to solve many problems, bring their ideas to life and, in the end, create a car that differs significantly from its competitors in tightness, interior decoration and some other features, where the main indicators are the low price of the car compared to imported counterparts, low cost repair and original spare parts.

It is very difficult to create an isothermal van with your own hands, so if a person does not have the relevant experience, it is better to turn to good specialists. Naturally, you will have to pay for labor and materials. However, in this case, you get not only a good car that meets all the requirements, but also a guarantee for all work carried out. If any problems suddenly arise, you can solve them without unnecessary expenses and as quickly as possible. It is worth noting that it is also better to entrust the repair of isothermal vans to specialists.
