Fifty commodities receive special attention in this guidebook, with descriptions outlining the proper settings for O2 and CO2 levels in order to take full advantage of the AFAM+ system. The book also offers commodity-specific handling guidelines for humidity and temperature. Copies of the guidebook can be downloaded from Thermo King's web site at www.thermoking.com.
