Some heavy-duty off-road equipment uses a fuel-fired HVAC system to keep operators comfortable in extreme conditions. However, some work sites such as petrochemical plants and underground mines prohibit systems that use a fuel source because of the inherent risks. Environments that restrict or prohibit the use of open flames require...
With hot weather just around the corner, a reliable mobile air conditioning system is at the top of the list for fleet managers and heavy-duty equipment operators. Before you buy any air conditioner, knowing how the electricity for a mobile AC unit works can help save you money in...
Each mobile air conditioning/HVAC unit and system is designed for a specific use - whether it’s for on-highway vehicles or off-highway equipment. In Canada, whether you’re in Manitoba, the Northwest Territories, Alberta, or Ontario, mobile equipment air conditioning and HVAC units are crucial for industries like construction, forestry, mining,...
Fuel and fluid heat exchangers pass heat from one fluid to a second fluid without coming into direct contact with each other. This exchange requires rapid fluid flow rates to reduce pressure loss and facilitate heat transfer through forced oscillation. The efficiency of the unit depends on how well...
Fuel-fired heaters use fuel combustion and heating fluids contained in coils to transfer heat. They are commonly used for commercial mobile transportation units, warehouses, and applications that do not rely on a building’s main HVAC system. The different types of fuel-fired heaters include: Gas-Fired Duct Units - Conveniently designed with...
Cold weather causes fuels and hydraulic fluids in heavy-duty equipment to thicken and become sluggish. This can cause issues like pump cavitation, blown seals, and a longer startup time. Eventually, as the equipment works harder to pump fuel and fluids, the system begins to break down and significantly reduces...
If your heavy-duty equipment has a difficult time running in the cold winter temperatures, fuel and fluid heat exchangers may be the solution to the problem. Fuel and fluid heat exchangers transfer heat from one fluid to a second fluid without coming into direct contact with each other. Fuel...
When you need a self-contained and automatically controlled mobile equipment heating solution, a fuel-fired heater is a reliable option. You can find fuel-fired heaters in the manufacturing industry, for use in warehouses, the construction industry, and remote sites that need a stand-alone HVAC system. Espar/Eberspacher is a top brand...
Protecting Workers from Health Hazards and Improving Machine Efficiencies Workers in heavy construction and mining industries get exposed to harmful airborne particulates and elevated CO2 levels regularly. Inhaling dust particles, exhaust, asbestos, and silica can lead to long-term health issues. When exposure to CO2 levels exceeds ambient CO2 + 400...
Did you know that one of the biggest losses for companies is products that spoil during the shipping of temperature-sensitive products? While warm air can spoil food fast, the transportation process is even more challenging because some goods, such as pharmaceuticals and flowers, can be damaged if the transport...
If you install a fan - a forced heating system - the room you are looking to heat will stay warm and comfortable, even in cold weather. There can be many great advantages to having a good fan heater in your mobile unit. Fan heaters consume less energy and are...
