While many designers of aircraft cooling systems do not consider lifecycle costs in their evaluation, we make it a cornerstone of our work.  We have seen designers specify aircooled DX units in Phoenix, and air cooled equipment with aluminum condenser fins at locations at or near the ocean.   Neither of these system configurations will have the ability to save energy and have lower lifecycle costs. 

We typically incorporate glycol based cooling systems, utilizing reset strategies for the variations in load that occur on a daily, hourly and annual basis.  Our designs can recover quickly when ten 747's pull into gates simultaneously, and can respond just as quickly when these ten planes leave the gates at the same time and the load is cut by 90% or more.

Our mechanical design and our proprietary  reset strategies permit the minimum possible energy use, while still being responsive to changes in the load.  There is no need to run the system at the same conditions summer, winter spring and fall, or even from minute to minute as the loads vary.
