Air conditioning improves safety
AIR conditioner failure, especially in remote locations with extreme weather, can cause millions of dollars in down time, affect safety, affect morale and cause many more unforeseen problems.
Mining and heavy transport vehicles are often exposed to constant dust, dirt and debris that can clog the air conditioning system.
Summer heat and rugged terrain combines to create excessive airborne dust and debris that can cause respiratory and other long term health problems, and also excessive operator fatigue and discomfort.
Air conditioning systems are complex units that include control systems, vacuum lines and a refrigerant system.
Airflow is vitally important to any air conditioning system, and it is essential that it is maintained regularly.
In both the short and long term, poor maintenance is an expensive strategy and air conditioning, just like any other component in a machine, needs regular maintenance or it breaks down.
With the right system and regular maintenance, costly downtime due to failure can be avoided.
Cabin pressurisation is a solution to dust ingress that works anywhere that dust is an issue, and is a much more comfortable and long term solution than a dust mask.
By creating a constant positive pressure in the cabin, a pressurisation system creates a pressure barrier that stops dust from entering the cabin.
