Vehicle Systems
Vehicle systems typically use engine mounted compressors to provide cooling for the vehicle occupants whilst the vehicle is on the move.
Using standard Eberspächer product, which is then modified to meet military requirements, systems are available to operate up to 55°C.
All types of military vehicles are supported including "white" general service vehicles through to "green" armoured, light defence and specialist vehicles.

Qualification Testing
- Preliminary hot cycle diurnal climatic testing to A1 (Def Stan 00-35) in the Eberspächer chamber, including storage. This allows system testing in isolation from the vehicle/shelter installation, verifying performance and capacity.
- Low temperature testing to -33°C in the Eberspächer chamber.
- Complete system testing in the Eberspächer main vehicle workshop where ambient temperatures up to 40°C can be achieved to enable functional testing at higher ambients prior to external test house testing.
- Complete system testing when integrated into the vehicle is carried out at external test facilities.
- EMC testing to Def Stan 59-41.
- Automotive trials for completed systems is normally carried out by the customer as part of the total system testing and has included off-road wheeled vehicles and tracked vehicles.
- Vibration and shock testing of defence standards.
