What is ‘K’ Value? And why is it the most critical factor in buying a refrigerated truck body?

Thermaxx Refrigerated Truck Bodies have the lowest ‘K’ Value in Australia. ‘K’ Value is a value of the amount of thermal conductivity of heat, in watts, that is transferred into a truck or trailer body through leakage or failure of construction materials. In short, if your panel is inadequately insulated or the construction methods are substandard you will have a HIGHER ‘K’  Value. The LOWER the ‘K’  Value of the completed body the HIGHER Thermal efficiencies you will have.
