In industrial and mobile equipment heating solutions, most systems generally use water or glycol mixtures for fluid. Although water is the most efficient liquid for heat transfer, it freezes - for this reason, many industries prefer glycol. If you’re trying to achieve better temperature control, maintain a certain temperature,...
An immersion heater, also referred to as a hydraulic tank heater, hydraulic oil heater, or hydraulic fluid heater, is a cost-effective and eco-friendly method that can heat liquids and gases rapidly. For mobile equipment, immersion heaters are typically used for tanks, vats, barrels, and containers to heat material, maintain...
Immersion heaters provide one of the most efficient methods for heating liquids. Using direct heat transfer, immersion heaters can be mounted on the side of a container or inserted into tanks, vats, containers, and any equipment that carries water, oil, or other material. Immersion heaters are also referred to...
While many resources will name the compressor, condenser, and evaporator as critical components of an AC unit, all air conditioning parts play an important role in the cooling process. At Polar Mobility, we are a mobile equipment heating and cooling equipment supplier in Calgary that provides all components, big...
All commercial mobile air conditioning units have condenser coils that remove heat from the refrigerant. Without condenser coils, the unit will fail to cool the air. During hot summer days in Alberta, commercial condenser coils are working hard behind the scenes to keep workers comfortable and safe on the...
Summer is well underway in Canada with temperatures reaching +30 celsius. Regardless of the weather, the work doesn’t stop. Many industries rely on mobile AC units to keep their workers cool, safe, and comfortable. But when the unit breaks down, it can lead to costly downtime and lost productivity. Most...
Roof-mounted air conditioning units are compact, simple in design, and can handle the requirements of off-road vehicles. When it comes to mobile equipment air conditioning, there are many solutions that meet the needs of all applications. The main priority is to ensure operators are safe and comfortable during the...
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 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,...
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...
Heat exchangers help heavy-duty equipment, on-highway trucks, and buildings continue running in the most frigid of winter conditions. They are meant to protect and preserve the heating and cooling system by allowing heat to pass from one fluid to another without mixing together. At Polar Mobility in Calgary, we provide...
