Thermo King Air Flow Straightener Kit for Trailer Refrigeration 017346
Official OEM Thermo King parts catalog entry for the Kit Air Flow Straightener 017346, verified by PEAK Thermo King and West Texas Thermo King Texas, Utah, Wyoming, Washington, Oregon, serving all of the USA.
Built for Performance: The Thermo King Kit Air Flow Straightener 017346 integrates directly with Thermo King refrigeration system airflow paths to reduce turbulence and deliver more uniform temperature control inside reefer trailers. Engineered for dependable operation in transport refrigeration, this airflow straightener supports precise cargo protection and consistent setpoint maintenance.
Purpose-Driven Design: The Kit Air Flow Straightener 017346 straightens and redirects air leaving the condenser and ducting to minimize turbulent flow, reduce hot spots, and enhance temperature recovery after door openings on refrigerated trailers and truck applications.
- OEM Fit – Ensures direct compatibility with Thermo King trailer refrigeration assemblies for secure installation and consistent service intervals.
- Improved Airflow Management – Reduces turbulence and delivers more even air distribution for improved temperature uniformity across cargo.
- Enhanced Temperature Precision – Supports faster recovery to setpoint and minimizes hot spots that threaten perishable loads.
- Fuel-Efficient Cooling – By improving air distribution, the component supports more efficient compressor cycles and controlled runtime.
- Lightweight Construction – Low added mass simplifies retrofits and does not affect vehicle payload capacity.
- Service-Friendly – Designed for easy inspection and integration within existing ducting to reduce downtime during maintenance.
Product Details
| Part Number | 017346 |
| Product Name | Kit Air Flow Straightener |
| Function | Straightens and directs condenser/duct air to reduce turbulence and improve temperature uniformity |
| Weight | Approx. 0.05 kg |
| Compatibility | Thermo King trailer refrigeration units, including Advancer and Precedent-series applications |
Efficiency & Sustainability
The Kit Air Flow Straightener 017346 improves cooling efficiency by optimizing airflow paths and reducing turbulence. Improved airflow reduces unnecessary compressor runtime and supports fuel-efficient cooling strategies used in modern Thermo King controllers such as Smart Reefer SR-4. The component contributes to reliable temperature control while supporting fleet goals for lower operating emissions and reduced energy use.
Installation & Maintenance Tips
Install using OEM mounting points and recommended fasteners. Use OEM clamps and retainers where applicable for secure fitment. Inspect the airflow straightener during scheduled refrigeration system service intervals and whenever ducting or condenser panels are serviced to ensure clear passages and proper orientation.
Real-World Applications
Designed for reefer trailers and refrigerated trucks, the Kit Air Flow Straightener 017346 is ideal for transport refrigeration operations that require consistent temperature control for perishables, pharmaceuticals, and temperature-sensitive freight. It supports fleet uptime in high-turn environments across long hauls and regional routes.
Available for installation and service in Amarillo, Lubbock, Odessa, and throughout West Texas.
Backed by Thermo King’s engineering and supported by certified technicians at West Texas Thermo King, this component delivers lasting reliability and uptime assurance for fleet operations.
