Just to clarify, the standard cargo heat system can only *add* heat to ambient temperature. It can't subtract heat. Therefore, the airplane must be operating in temperatures at or below your specified maximum temp to guarantee the perishables remain within your defined temperature range.

Hope this makes sense
