Modular air conditioning system (ACU) to supply 13kW cooling to ensure a cabin temperature of 23 – 26°C in a 48°C ambient, provided the vehicle is thermally insulated.

The aircon is a dual evaporator with dual condenser configuration, with a single 330cc compressor which is belt driven from the vehicle engine. The aircon system is integrated into the side bins of the vehicle.

A 5.5kW diesel heater is included for low ambient conditions. (-50°C)

The electrical connections, looms between the aircon subsystems, electronic control panels and electrical control gear are designed and selected for operation in military environments, which include adverse temperatures, EMI/EMC as well as severe shock and vibration.

The aircon unit is equipped with custom designed electronic controllers, capable of all control and safety functions. The controller activates subsystems as required to regulate the cabin temperature to the desired setting on the control panel (HMI). The system has a Bluetooth login interface for remote monitoring via a smartphone app and/or laptop for maintenance and fault finding.

Installation of the units requires minimal vehicle modifications and are bolted to the vehicle hull. UV-C filtration options for the cabin and aircon can be offered.
