HVAC systems for transportation and logistics

In transportation, whether it's rail or ship freight, extensive, complex requirements need to be fulfilled. Not only the loading process itself, but also the gigantic quantities and the handling of the most diverse goods are a logistical challenge that must be overcome.

Some goods have to be reloaded under special conditions and treated differently. If the cooling system is not working or not working consistently, the cold chain is interrupted and food, for example, will spoil. Similarly, goods can also pose a risk due to the effects of heat, resulting in overheating, explosion or fire. The right thermal management systems can prevent these problems in the logistics area.

System and development

HVAC in transportation & logistics

We define the requirements and suitable system solutions during the development process, which we coordinate step by step with our customers. From the initial concept and analysis to simulation, prototyping and validation, an individual product is created.

Our systems for railways or ports are not only user-friendly, but also robust, durable, vibration-resistant and saltwater-resistant. Cranes in transshipment and port terminals require comfortable and functional air conditioning for the operators. We also consider user-friendly, ergonomic and safety-related aspects that facilitate daily workflows in transportation and logistics.

Thermal management and transportation

1. Intelligent airflow

Intelligent airflow design has a significant impact on the well-being of drivers in a cab. With the right control concept, the desired air and temperature conditions can be quickly achieved, depending on the weather. In winter or in cold climates, warmth is needed most of all in the area of the feet. In hot periods and regions, the area of the head needs cooling. We develop the right system solution for every temperature requirement.

2. Thermal management for control units

At transhipment points in ports, for example, we develop complete concepts for comfortable air conditioning and cooling in the cabs of the cranes in use. On the other hand, more and more power electronics are being used in ports. Likewise, control cabinets – often the size of a container – with high power loads must be kept at an appropriate thermal level.

3. Humidity – Re-Heat

High humidity in cabs during the cold season can lead to safety and functional problems. Reliable, precise control can no longer be guaranteed if the window panes mist up. Moisture in the air inside the control cabinets of container stacker cranes can cause control and power electronics to fail. We'll solve this problem with innovative heat management. Our HVAC systems eliminate humidity, condensation and fogging.
