Heuch recently launched the Mobile Autonomous Refrigeration Utility (MARU). Built from Heuch’s solar cold chain technology, the MARU is air transportable, conforming to NATO 463L specifications, and can be deployed and running in under ten minutes, with no special training or equipment required.  More information at www.blackstumptechnologies.com.au.  Heuch are the official manufacturing partner of Black Stump Technologies.

Since 1970, Heuch has worked with some of the biggest Aerospace primes to provide appropriate storage and handling conditions and facilities for the sensitive materials used in aircraft construction and maintenance. Heuch also specialises in custom refrigeration for airborne electronics.  Whatever your aerospace need, you can rely on Heuch to provide a HVAC-R solution for you.

KEY PROJECTS

Here are a few projects we have worked on with the Australian Defence Force for their Aerospace department.

Heuch Utility Tricon

The Heuch Utility Tricon is designed for flexible support of personnel in remote areas and can be tailored to cover a range of uses and requirements dependent upon use and environment.

The Tricon conforms to ISO 1E configuration and may be constructed from a variety of materials, including marine grade aluminium. The Tricon is suitable for air transportation in stand-alone configurations and may also be carried by approved slings under suitable aircrafts. The utility unit may also be operated whilst mounted on the rear of wheeled transport or statically when mounted for base area operations or sea transportation.

Refrigeration for Airborne Electronics

Heuch Engineers provided engineering and manufacturing services to a Defence Industry Prime Contractor for the development of an on-board cooling system for suspended airborne test equipment.

The rigorous specification included 0% to 100% capacity control, minimal power consumption, shock load testing, operation at large tilt angles and variable ambient conditions.

The project required the development and manufacture of a variety of special components to meet the specified requirements.

CASE STUDY

Self-powered with 48 hours standby capacity, the MARU (Mobile Autonomous Refrigeration Utiltiy) provides independent cooling and power in the harshest environments.

Built from Heuch’s solar cold chain technology, the MARU is air transportable, conforming to NATO 463L specifications and can be deployed and running in under ten minutes, with no special training or equipment required.
