In the northern parts of Canada, it is common for the temperature to reach minus 40 degrees Celsius in winter. These extreme temperatures hinder the ability of military teams to carry out missions and hamper the reliability of equipment crucial for their operations. The metal components are likely to contract at these temperatures and improper tolerances in the equipment may result in component failure or breakage due to increased brittleness.

This is precisely where Polar Mobility Research, a leading supplier of heating, air conditioning, and air filtration systems, comes to the rescue. The heating and cooling solutions maintain critical military equipment and machine fluids in optimal working condition, enabling them to withstand potential component failure during belowfreezing operations. These capabilities make Polar Mobility Research a popular provider in Canadian and U.S. military expeditions for supporting their operations in extreme geographical conditions.

“We don’t shy away from difficult problems with earth’s extremities. Whether it is above 40 or below 60 degrees Celsius, our mobile heating, cooling, and air-filtration units significantly extend our clients’ equipment life and performance while reducing operating costs,” says Jeff Schmode, President and CEO of Polar Mobility Research.

Polar Mobility Research offers an array of temperature control solutions, from electric to fuel-fired and backwall to rooftop units, enabling military personnel to operate heavy mobile equipment flawlessly at maximum load under extreme weather. The mobile heaters are light and compact and can be easily installed in no time at the preferred location. The mobile heating units provide external circulation, keeping machine fluids at ideal temperatures and facilitating the equipment’s smooth functioning. Suitable for almost any hostile condition, these solutions ensure comfort and safety of personnel and their critical equipment, leading to the overall success of an operation.

Even in the desert, where military operations are often conducted at high temperatures, Polar Mobility Research’s cooling systems are tailored to stabilize equipment temperature. The productivity of the equipment is increased significantly without requiring regular cleaning. The cooling systems also help reduce operator fatigue and prevent business interruptions.

Polar Mobility Research’s air quality units reduce the exposure of military personnel to extreme pollution and lessen their health risk. Installing air quality filters or pre-filters prevents the inhalation of dangerous and toxic fumes and keeps military personnel safe by filtering and providing clean air.

Along with heating and cooling systems, Polar Mobility Research customizes specific solutions per client requirements that positively impact their working environment. A testament to its customization approach can be found in a recent case scenario where Polar Mobility Research played a crucial role in building and supplying robotic landmine detecting systems for the Gulf War to enable military personnel to find landmines and IED explosives without human intervention, ensuring utmost safety.

Providing research and development assistance to the Canadian and U.S. Armed Forces is just the tip of the iceberg. Polar Mobility’s mobile heater, cooler, and air quality units are a tremendous asset for the construction, forestry, oil field, and mining industries as well. With geographical expansion on its next agenda, Polar Mobility is set to collaborate with sub-dealers and distributors to expand its mobile equipment solutions internationally. Covering more ground, Polar Mobility will continue to provide versatile and portable mobile equipment units that are versatile, portable, and built to endure harsh conditions.
