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