The PLCU Series of customized and scalable mechanical chillers eliminates the severe heat stress affecting military personnel, combat vehicles and many other military assets.
These battle-proven Micro Climate Systems (MCS) are TRL-9 and meet MIL-810-F military standards. Their vapor compression cycle (VCC) technology provides personnel cooling and electronics cooling (E-Cooling) to help eliminate heat and its negative effects on a mission.
The scalable PLCU series range in capability from 600 Watts to over 5,000 Watts and are easily installed in new and retrofit vehicles including:
- HMMWV
- M2A3 Bradley
- M1A2 Abrams
- Leopard MBT
- ARV
- AEV
