Mainstream’s MECU is designed to provide cooling, heating and ventilation to the Tent Extendable Modular Personnel (TEMPER), Modular General Purpose Tent System (MGPTS) or CP EMEDS shelters. A single MECU has sufficient capacity to provide thermal control to shelters as large as 1,000 square feet in ambient temperatures as high as 130°F or as low as – 40°F. The MECU allows for air plenum configuration and installation requirements without bends in the supply or return ducts. The MECU has been designed to replace both the FDECU, LECU and the IECU with a smaller cube, improved performance, reduced weight, improved power-factor and improved maintenance/reliability.

Edit

Mainstream’s modular Improved Environmental Control Units (IECUs) provide heating and cooling to troop shelters, containers, vehicles, and communications enclosures in ambient temperatures as high as 140°F and as low as -50°F. The IECU is available in three different nominal cooling capacities (9,000, 18,000 and 36,000 Btu/hr) with multiple power input options. Designed to replace legacy R-22 based ECUs, the IECU features improved energy efficiency, lighter weight, and easier maintenance. The IECU uses environmentally safe R-410A refrigerant and meets or exceeds all requirements for military heating and cooling.

  • Designed for Military Environment
  • Simple and intuitive control panel
  • No Training required for basic operation
  • Software upgradable PCB controller with battle-short capability
  • Removable remote provides for control at a convenient location
  • Designed for maintenance or repair with common hand tools from standard military tool kit.
  • Diagnostics Port allows complete troubleshooting with only a multimeter
  • Embedded diagnostics and 16 board-mounted LED indicators simplify maintenance
  • Plug and play modular components
  • Brazing/soldering not required during any maintenance procedure
  • All refrigerant components have threaded O-ring fittings that can be replaced with simple hand tools
  • Soft start device helps protect tactical power grids by limiting in rush current at start up.
  • EMI conducted and radiated emissions tested to MIL-461F
  • Designed for 20 year storage life

Edit

The Enhanced Environmental Control Unit (E2CU) represents the latest in ultra-efficient, military ready, ducted unitary heat pump systems. It is designed to provide cooling, heating, and ventilation, and includes energy saving features such as compressor soft start, variable speed indoor blower, and microprocessor-based embedded diagnostics. These units were designed to replace the FDECU, LECU, and the IECU while providing better performance, reduced weight, improved power factor, simplified maintenance and increased reliability.

Mainstream’s E2CU has features not found in typical military ECUs. These enhancements include:

  • Plug-n-play wire harnesses
  • Microchannel evaporator and condenser
  • Non-corrosive easily replaceable forklift base
  • Sheathed wire harnesses
  • Machine threads, not sheet metal screws
  • Embedded diagnostics with microgrid compatibility for communication and control
