Abstract
This paper presents a novel Power Take Off system for power levels up to 25 kW. The system, intended for the refrigerated distribution truck market, was developed in order to comply with new restrictions concerning exterior noise, fuel consumption and emissions as well as to meet the demand for better performance of refrigeration units. With a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) the variable crankshaft speed of the trucks main engine is transformed into a constant speed. A large capacity generator is connected to the CVT and the generated voltage is constant and supplied to the refrigeration unit. This new concept is called the Constant Speed Power Take Off (CS-PTO).
