Thermo King Coolant Expansion Overflow Tank 120489
Official OEM Thermo King parts catalog entry for the Thermo King Tank Overflow 120489, 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 Tank Overflow 120489 supports reliable coolant management for temperature-critical transport refrigeration applications, protecting Thermo King refrigeration systems from coolant loss and air ingress while preserving consistent temperature control for reefer trailers and truck-mounted units. This Tank Overflow integrates with Thermo King engine cooling circuits to maintain uptime and reduce service interventions.
Thermo King refrigeration system integrity remains a priority for fleets operating in the high-demand environments of Amarillo, Lubbock, Odessa, and the Permian Basin. The Thermo King Tank Overflow 120489 delivers dependable coolant recovery and visible level monitoring to support long-haul refrigeration duty cycles and maximize ROI through reduced downtime.
- OEM Fitment – Ensures direct compatibility with specified Thermo King cooling systems for simplified installation and secure connections.
- Coolant Recovery Function – Captures expanded coolant during thermal cycles and returns fluid as the system cools to prevent air pockets and maintain temperature stability.
- Maintenance Visibility – Provides an accessible coolant level reference for technicians during scheduled inspections, supporting rapid service decisions and fleet uptime.
- Durability for Transport Duty – Designed for repeated thermal cycling and vibration conditions typical of reefer trailers and truck-mounted refrigeration units in West Texas operations.
- Operational Reliability – Supports consistent temperature control and reduces the risk of coolant loss that can interrupt transport refrigeration performance.
- Fleet-Friendly Serviceability – Straightforward hose and clamp connections minimize shop time and support efficient preventive maintenance workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the Thermo King Tank Overflow 120489 compatible with common Thermo King genset and engine models?
A: Yes. The Tank Overflow 120489 integrates with Thermo King cooling systems on models such as BKD, KD-II, MD-II, RD-II, and URD-III where an overflow reservoir is specified.
Q: How does this overflow tank improve fleet uptime?
A: By capturing expanded coolant and returning it to the cooling system as temperatures normalize, the overflow tank prevents air ingress and coolant loss, reducing the likelihood of overheating events and unplanned roadside service.
Q: What service items should be checked during inspection?
A: Inspect tank integrity, sight level (if visible), hose connections, and clamps during routine cooling system maintenance. Replace hoses and clamps with OEM or OEM-equivalent parts as needed.
Q: Can this part be installed in the field by a fleet technician?
A: Yes. Installation follows standard coolant reservoir procedures: secure hose connections, check routing clearances, and verify coolant level and bleed procedures per Thermo King service guidelines.
