Phase Change Cooling System Specification Example for Courier Fleets: Drilled and Slotted
Phase Change Cooling System Specification Example for Courier Fleets: Drilled and Slotted
This is a worked specification for phase change cooling system in a drilled and slotted programme. It is the document we would send a buyer who asks what exactly they are getting: the material, the dimensions that are actually controlled, the finish, and the checks that happen before anything is packed.
The drilled and slotted version exists because the duty cycle on courier fleets is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually documentation that arrived after the container shipped.

How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Forged Aluminium, in this example.
- List the dimensions that are actually controlled and the tolerance on each.
- Name the finish and what it has to survive.
- State the inspection level and who pays when a lot fails.
Processes involved
- injection moulding
- surface grinding
- cold forging
- ultrasonic cleaning
- robot welding
- gravity casting
Where this example applies
Programmes that run drilled and slotted most often specify this build for courier fleets. Related applications include camper conversions, construction equipment, boat trailers, rental motorcycles, three-wheelers.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 1.5 sampling on the finished lot.
- Finish inspection under agreed lighting.
- Carton drop test on the first lot of a new packing specification.
Questions buyers ask
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. TUV documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 14 working days, and each revision round adds about 5 days once you have seen the first piece.
What happens if a lot fails inspection?
The lot is re-inspected against the golden sample, and replacement pieces ship on the next available booking at our cost.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 500 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
