BUILT AROUND THE APPLICATION

Different industries. Different operating demands.

Every machine, vehicle and operating environment presents different challenges.

Rencool works across mobile, industrial and specialised applications, combining DC Powered technology with practical engineering to help customers find a climate-control solution suited to their equipment, installation and operating requirements.

APPLICATIONS

Mining

Dependable DC air conditioning for demanding mining environments.

Mining and heavy equipment operate in conditions where heat, dust, vibration and long operating hours place significant demands on equipment and operators.

Rencool provides DC Powered air conditioning solutions for mining equipment, with engine-independent operation helping reduce unnecessary idling, fuel use and machine hours while maintaining operator comfort.

Applications may include:
Haul trucks • Dozers • Drill rigs • Loaders • Underground equipment

Construction & Earthmoving

Practical climate control for hard-working equipment.

Construction and earthmoving equipment needs dependable climate control that can perform in demanding working environments without adding unnecessary complexity.

Rencool works with heavy equipment and specialist machinery applications where durable construction, flexible installation and DC Powered operation can provide a practical alternative to conventional engine-driven air conditioning.

Depending on the application, engine-independent operation can also help reduce unnecessary idling while maintaining operator comfort.

Applications may include:
Earthmoving equipment • Civil equipment • Cranes • Heavy machinery • Specialist equipment

Transport & Heavy Vehicle

Off-engine comfort for trucks and heavy vehicles.

Keeping a truck or commercial vehicle engine running simply to maintain cabin climate can add fuel use, engine hours and operating costs.

Rencool’s DC Powered air conditioning solutions can provide climate control independently of the main engine, supporting operator comfort during rest periods, stationary operation and other suitable applications without unnecessary engine idling.

Applications may include:
Trucks • Sleeper cabs • Service vehicles • Mobile workshops • Specialist vehicles

Custom & OEM

DC climate-control solutions engineered around your equipment.

Not every application fits an off-the-shelf solution.

Rencool works with OEMs and specialist customers on DC Powered climate-control requirements for new equipment, retrofit programs and applications with specific installation constraints.

Our approach starts with understanding the equipment, operating environment, available power and required configuration before identifying an appropriate solution.

WHY DC POWERED CLIMATE CONTROL?

Reduce unnecessary idling. Keep climate control running.

In suitable applications, Rencool’s DC Powered air conditioning technology allows climate control to operate independently of the host machine engine.

That can help customers:

Reduce unnecessary engine idling

Maintain climate control without running the main engine where the system and power configuration allow.

Save fuel use associated with idling

Avoid consuming fuel simply to keep conventional engine-driven air conditioning operating.

Keep unnecessary machine hours down

Reducing avoidable idle hours may help limit associated servicing and equipment wear.

Reduce emissions associated with idling

Fewer unnecessary engine hours means fewer emissions generated while stationary.

Maintain operator comfort

Support cabin cooling while the main engine is switched off in suitable applications.

Create more flexible installations

DC Powered configurations can provide options where conventional engine-driven systems may be impractical.

Actual operating outcomes depend on the application, power supply, duty cycle and system configuration.
