HVAC Systems for Defence Vehicles

Lumikko’s HVAC systems for defence vehicles are built to perform in the most demanding environments — from -45°C arctic cold to +45°C desert heat.

Designed for armoured vehicles and special-purpose platforms, our systems deliver reliable climate control for both crew and equipment. With field-proven performance since 1985, Lumikko provides complete HVAC solutions tailored to each vehicle and mission requirement.

Every vehicle is different. Our modular HVAC systems are designed to integrate seamlessly into a wide range of platforms, optimised for space, performance, and operational requirements.

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

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.
