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...
The evaporator coils are located on the inside of your mobile equipment air conditioning unit or heat pump. They are A-shaped webs of copper coils that are filled with very cold refrigerant and are crucial for completing the heat exchange process. Evaporator coils form a loop with the condenser...
Heating and mobile air conditioning units have control systems that control and manage HVAC equipment. Control systems have inputs and outputs - for example, temperature is the input, while the output responds to information by either turning on or shutting off the system. A thermostat is an example of...
The main purpose of commercial mobile AC units is to create comfortable working conditions for the operator and to protect the equipment against extreme heat. Generally, air conditioning systems are fitted with air and water controls that regulate the temperature, humidity, and air stats. When one of these commercial...
The compressor is often referred to as the heart of an air conditioning unit, while the clutch is responsible for turning the compressor on and off when needed. Commercial compressors and clutches for trucks and heavy-duty off-road equipment are engineered to last for hours through the harshest conditions. Commercial-grade AC...
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...
