IR Generates $64M in Orders Ingersoll-Rund said its Climate Control Sector, a provider of solutions to transport, preserve, store and display temperature-sensitive products, has received approximately $64 million in orders in recent months for Thermo King-branded maritime transport con- tainers and related technologies.

More than half of the orders were placed for the Thermo King MAGNUM container refrigeration unit, which is a refrigera- tion technology for seagoing containers with the ability to generate and maintain a temperature of minus 31 degrees F (minus 35 degrees C.) Orders also were placed for the Thermo King CRR, a container refriger- ation unit that provides advanced tem- perature control and energy efficiencies, and for Thermo King microprocessor- controlled generator sets. "Thermo King's new MAGNUM technology, combined with OOCL's service net- work, is enabling OOCL to create new markets for our customers," said Alfred Cheung, director. Reefer Trade, OOCL.
