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...
Headliner HVAC units are one of the most versatile and common solutions for mobile equipment, effectively cooling small to medium-sized cabs. As the name suggests, headliner units are installed overhead on the ceiling of the cab with different designs that fit the application, including compact units and more robust...
When engine-driven condensers are not an option, electric-powered condensers are a solution for mobile equipment air conditioning. In a built-in HVAC system for vehicles and mobile equipment, conventional compressors are powered by an engine’s belt drive, which requires the use of gas. Industrial strength AC electric motors use a...
Warm summer weather is officially here - and for many industries, making sure workers have a reliable air conditioning unit for mobile equipment is a critical health and safety issue. It’s also an important part of maintaining productivity and preventing business interruptions. Without a proper AC unit, workers cannot...
Heavy-duty industries rely on commercial mobile air conditioning units to keep operators safe and comfortable. And with the summer months coming up quickly, ensuring that each piece of equipment is outfitted with the right HVAC unit is a priority for site managers. Heavy-duty equipment comes in various sizes with different...
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...
Many industries rely on commercial fuel-fired mobile heating parts including construction, remote worksites, warehouses, distribution centres, and more. Fuel-fired heaters are one of the most reliable mobile heating solutions that protect equipment and workers in even the most frigid temperatures. However, each work environment presents different challenges and requirements for...
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...
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...
Did you know that room temperature impacts worker productivity? In a study done by the University of Chicago, employees were more likely to take a leave of absence or drop in efficiency in extremely warm weather. The same can be said for the colder months. When you’re working on a...
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...
