Snowbird, ESC in its desire to continue its leadership toward the eventual Ozone friendly refrigerant mandate by January 1st 2010 has developed R134a Ozone friendly ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL UNITS/AIR CONDITIONERS for the US Army, US Navy and other DOD Prime Contractors.

In achieving the above Snowbird has, at this time, designed and developed a 9000, 18000, and 36000 BTU/HR ECU Air Conditioner utilizing R410a and is presently under performance testing at Intertech ETL Courtland NY. These testing programs will continue until the end of January 2008 and as such these units will be lighter weight, more efficient and capable of withstanding high ambient conditions of the condenser side of the ECU.

The Navy will be receiving approximately 30 new R134a heat pump units within the month of December which will be the newest Ozone friendly five ton ECU being utilized on the MOBILE FACILITY SHELTER PROGRAM.
