IMPROVED ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL UNITS ED
Abstract
The Improved Environmental Control Units (IECU) program will provide a new generation of ECUs that use environmentally approved refrigerants, with zero ozone-depleting chemicals (ODCs) to replace the current Military Standard (MIL-STD) Family of Environmental Control Units (ECUs). The IECUs will provide improved cooling, heating, and dehumidification to soldiers and materiel systems in combat, combat support and combat service support units. The IECUs are required to replace currently fielded environmental control units in order to comply with statutory and regulatory restrictions on the use of Class II ODCs and to improve the performance of military ECUs. They are form, fit and function replacements to the current MIL-STD ECUs. Technical improvements over existing military-standard ECUs will yield significant fuel and weight savings, reduction in scheduled maintenance, and increased reliability. 9,18, and 36K BTU/H IECUs: The 9,18 and 36K BTU/H IECUs will be a replacement for the current MIL-STD-ECU variants. The new family of IECUs will utilize a new refrigerant which complies with mandated EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) requirements (non-global warming). FY10-11 funds System Development and Demonstration (SDD) Phase activities for 9,18 and 36K IECUs. This program has no FY12 RDTE request.
