Air conditioning for satcoms antenna
Dometic Marine says its Radome system is unique in the market, and is designed to provide ideal temperatures and humidity levels inside radar and antenna domes to prevent sensitive electronic equipment from overheating.
“Radar or antenna domes typically house a high volume of electrical equipment within a compact space, creating the potential for the equipment to overheat which could permanently damage the system and in extreme cases risk safety. Dometic’s Radome ECU is a unique solution which maintains the ideal temperature for safe operation of the equipment within the dome, eliminating the risk of overheating,” comments Paul Hickinbotham, director of sales & operations, Dometic Marine UK.
Hickinbotham adds, “The supply of the Radome ECUs to Caprock Communications is a key milestone for Dometic in the European commercial marine market. The Radome ECU meets Caprock Communications’ specific requirements to cool electrical equipment within their antenna domes.”
The Radome ECU is available as a split-gas, remote ducted self-contained or interior self-contained unit and uses R417A environmentally safe refrigerant. The system’s highly efficient and powerful rotary compressor provides quiet operation, exceptional reliability and reduced amperage.
The Radome ECU’s is designed for compactness, light weight and easy installation and maintenance. The system features a corrosion resistant coating and a solid state digital controller to provide precise operation, while the control circuitry monitors and protects the unit during operation.
Dometic Marine says that it provides a extensive range of HVAC and sanitation systems for the commercial marine and workboat markets.
