Vector® HE 17 Trailer Refrigeration Unit
Versatility and Designed to Help Manage Total Cost of Ownership
The Vector HE 17 is Carrier Transicold's trailer refrigeration unit, engineered to deliver superior cooling performance or a range of transport applications. Based on Carrier's proven all-electric E Drive® architecture and advanced inverter technology, the Vector HE 17 is designed to help manage total cost of ownership (TCO).
Designed for Single-Temperature Trailer Applications
Designed for single-temperature trailer applications, the Vector HE 17 is equally suited to long-haul transportation and urban distribution, where quiet operation and operational reliability are critical.
By combining advanced system architecture, maintenance intervals and operational controls, the Vector HE 17 is designed to support fleet operators across Europe.
Vector HE 17 now available with R-454A refrigerant
The refrigerated transport industry is continually evolving adopting refrigerants with lower global warming potential (GWP). Many low-GWP refrigerant solutions belong to the A2L refrigerant class, which offers a lower GWP than traditional A1 refrigerants, while carrying a mild flammability classification. At Carrier Transicold, the adoption of lower-GWP refrigerants is supported by a safety-by-design approach.

Variable Speed Compressor
The Vector HE 17 is equipped with inverter technology that allows the compressor speed to increase or decrease according to cooling load. This compressor, coupled with the lower diesel engine operating speeds, allows the Vector HE 17 unit to adjust cooling output based on operating conditions while supporting temperature management and sound reduction.
Inverter Technology
Inverter technology allows control of compressor speed and delivery of the power needed by the refrigeration unit. With this technology, temperature is adjusted by changing compressor speed without turning the compressor on and off, allowing the system to respond to cooling-capacity requirements and power demand while reducing unnecessary compressor restarts.
