BACK TO BASICS: WHY COOLING SOLUTIONS SHOULD BE A HOT TOPIC FOR YOUR MILITARY DEPLOYMENT?

Controlling the temperature and humidity in your base camp, tents or armored vehicles can be a breeze or a blizzard.

Regardless of your operational objectives, you need to be able to rely on your equipment. Getting the basics right is paramount. There is a long list of cooling solutions on the market, many claiming to be the best.

When it comes to off-the-shelf ECUs, how do you know which ones to choose?

IT’S A MATTER OF TASK, TERRAIN & TEMPERATURE

Being in the military, your journey may often take you to some of the remotest destinations on earth, where temperatures range from biting sub-zero to sweltering 100+ degrees. In these extreme conditions, the elements can quickly become your enemy. Being unprepared is not an option.

The terrain itself can be hostile. You need to be prepared for anything from rugged mountains, numbing thick snow, and endless desert sands that get churned up into sandstorms.

Your ECU becomes the heart around which your unit functions. Cooling valuable equipment, keeping your data safe, and equipment working optimally. Air purifiers keep the area well ventilated, providing a healthy working environment. No matter how extreme the task, terrain, or temperature, TATs versatile Environmental Control Systems can be deployed instantly, simply, and effectively.

Aside from being dangerous for your team, very high (or very low) temperatures can damage valuable equipment. In particularly extreme conditions, your troops’ lives may depend on the smooth functioning of your ECU, so the importance of this piece of equipment cannot be overemphasized.

AN ECU IS AN ECU, RIGHT?

Wrong! Not all Environmental Control Units are created equal. Military-grade ECUs have enhanced functionality when compared with commercial units. They must be able to perform in extreme conditions, for extended periods, with minimal maintenance.

TAT is a reputable and trusted supplier of Military Environmental Control Units. All our cooling systems comply with the relevant Military Standards viz. MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-461.

Our range of ECUs has been specifically designed for the Military, by a team of experts with on-the-ground military knowledge of Environmental Control Systems. Our off-the-shelf Environment Control Systems are typically deployed for military communication shelters, mobile shelters, military tents, armored vehicles, and aircraft hangers.

The company’s entire team has served in the Israeli Armed Forces and has first-hand knowledge of working with ECUs in the context of the military, defense, and aerospace operations.

THE QUESTION OF CONTINGENCY AND CONTROL

Harsh environments and intense working conditions can impact the performance of critical equipment. Even the best equipment, when pushed to the limit, will take strain. When you are operating in a remote location, in dangerous climatic conditions, an equipment failure can have potentially dire consequences.

TATs proprietary Conditional Based Maintenance feature is a game-changer when it comes to preventative maintenance.

The CBM system’s sensors are programmed to identify prescribed warning signs when the equipment is not functioning optimally, or if system failure is imminent.

You will be alerted of possible equipment failures before they happen, enabling you to take corrective action. Aside from averting the potentially critical consequences that follow a complete system breakdown, CBM can increase the shelf life of your equipment and save you a fortune in repair costs.

The ECU has the following Internal Sensors:

  • Voltage sensors
  • Frequency sensors
  • Refrigerant high- and low-pressure sensors
  • External Sensors:
  • Ambient air temperate sensor
  • Supply air temperature sensor
  • Return air analog temperature sensor
