MILITARY VEHICLES ENGINE COOLING SYSTEMS

Radiotechnika Marketing has been representing AMETEK Aircontrol Technologies in Poland since 2005. We can offer our its customers a dedicated cooling systems for internal combustion engines.

Military Applications

The feature which ensures optimal operating conditions of the vehicle engine is its cooling  system. It usually consists of radiators of oil, hydraulic fluid and air. Many years of experience in the area of cooling systems allowed AMETEK AG for the development of the most effective solutions on this market. The level of sophistication of the proposed solution and its cost-effectiveness can be confirmed by the number of systems implemented by major military vehicle manufacturers around the world. The company designs and manufactures complete cooling systems to a newly designed and modernised vehicles including form-fit function systems.

Cooling systems built by the AMETEK AG use MP4 series fans. They have been developed to achieve the highest performance with minimum power consumption. Fan blades are made of aluminium, their shape prevents the build-up of impurities and thus a reduction in yield.

Thanks to these features the fans are especially predisposed to work in an environment with a high solids content.


 
305 MP4

Airflow from 1.53 / s to 4.25m3 / s

380 MP4
Air flow from 2.5m3 to 7m3 / s

475 MP4
Air flow from 3.5m3 / s to 11m3 / s

Rail Applications

AMETEK AG also manufactures complete cooling systems for the rail industry. In addition to applications for newly designed locomotive/tank engines company specialises in providing solutions for the modernisation of existing vehicles. They are characterised by a full mechanical compatibility (form-fit function) that allows installing a new cooling unit in place of the original one and obtaining high performance cooling parameters.
