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...
Commercial mobile equipment across Canada operates in some of the most extreme weather conditions - from frigid temperatures in the winter to high heat during summer days. The fluctuating climate calls for mobile air conditioning and HVAC solutions that can provide both heat and cool air to keep workers...
Each mobile air conditioning/HVAC unit and system is engineered and 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,...
Warmer months in Canada are just around the corner and for heavy-duty industries like construction, mining, and oil and gas, this means planning ahead to keep workers comfortable in the heat. Mobile equipment air conditioning units are crucial for preventing heat stroke and for the overall safety of equipment...
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...
In 1981, we began providing research and development assistance to Canadian and US Military Mobile Equipment Operations in the Arctic. Little did we know, this was the humble beginnings of what Polar Mobility is today. Over the years, our company has grown into a leading supplier of heating, air conditioning,...
AC electric heating equipment replaces systems that use fossil fuels, which helps reduce operational costs and improves your carbon footprint. Using renewable energy as a mobile heating solution makes good sense and is crucial for many heavy-duty equipments, hazardous locations where combustion is a high risk, and on-site work...
