Military HVAC Systems for Vehicles

Modular HVAC design for armored vehicles

One HVAC system does not fit all vehicles. Lumikko’s HVAC systems for defence vehicles are designed as modular solutions that adapt to your platform and operational needs.

• Optimal placement

In compact vehicles, a single HVAC unit may be the most efficient solution. In larger vehicles, separate systems for the cabin and troop compartment ensure balanced climate control and redundancy.

• Flexible system architecture

When space is limited, a distributed HVAC system provides maximum flexibility. Key components, such as compressors, heat exchangers, and control units, can be placed across the vehicle without compromising crew space or usability.

• Tailored technical performance

Every system is engineered to meet specific requirements, including:

• Cooling and heating capacity
• Military standards compliance
• EMC and environmental testing
• Integration with CBRN filtration systems

Military standards readiness

Lumikko military vehicle HVAC systems can be engineered to meet demanding defence platform requirements, including electrical, climatic and electromagnetic compatibility standards.

• STANAG 2601 – Electrical systems in tactical land vehicles.
  Designed to support tactical vehicle electrical system requirements and platform-level interoperability. STANAG 2601 covers the standardization of electrical systems in tactical land vehicles.
• NATO AECTP-230 – Climatic conditions.
  Built for reliable operation across demanding climatic profiles, including hot dry, intermediate, wet warm, wet hot, mild cold and intermediate cold environments. AECTP-230 provides climatic condition data and guidance for defence materiel design and test criteria.
  
• MIL-STD-461 – EMC / EMI requirements
  Available with electromagnetic compatibility design and verification against MIL-STD-461 requirements for electronic, electrical and electromechanical equipment and subsystems.

Integrated thermal management system

Lumikko delivers more than individual components—we provide a complete thermal management system for defence vehicles.

Our solutions can include:

• HVAC units
• Compressors
• Heat exchangers
• Control systems
• CBRN filtration integration

All components are designed to work together as a reliable, efficient system.

Field-proven reliability

Lumikko has over 40 years of experience in thermal management, with defence solutions in use since 1985.

Our HVAC systems for defence vehicles are field-tested, proven solutions used in real operational environments. This ensures reliability, durability, and ease of maintenance in demanding conditions.

From arctic cold to desert heat

No matter the climate, your HVAC system must perform without compromise.

Lumikko’s systems are designed to operate reliably across extreme temperature ranges and challenging environmental conditions—ensuring stable performance wherever your vehicles are deployed.
