Key customer benefits

1. Integrated into the container structure

  • No need to move or relocate a separate cooling unit during transportation.
  • The sealed design protects against moisture, dust and sand.

    2. More space for mission-critical equipment

    • The compact design maximises available space both inside and outside the container, leaving more room for personnel, electronics and other mission-critical equipment.

    3. Adaptable to customer requirements

    • The configuration can be adapted to the customer’s container structure and interior layout: recessed or surface-mounted outdoor unit, with ceiling- or wall-mounted evaporator.

    • Available with ballistic protection

    Two configurations to fit your container

    Choose between a ready-to-install Monoblock configuration and a flexible Split System, depending on your container structure, equipment layout and installation requirements.

    Monoblock configuration

    Ready to install Solution

    The outdoor unit and evaporator are supplied as a complete, pre-connected and refrigerant-charged package, designed for compact integration into the container structure.

    Benefits:

    • Reduced on-site installation work
    • Compact, space-saving integration
    • Factory-completed refrigerant connections

    Split System configuration

    Flexible component placement

    The outdoor unit and evaporator are supplied separately, allowing flexible positioning according to the container layout and cooling requirements.

    Benefits

    • Flexible placement of components
    • Adaptable to different container layouts
    • On-site refrigerant piping and charging


    EU co-funded development

    The development of Lumikko’s Military Container Cooling Unit has been co-funded by the European Union.

    Flexible installation for different container designs

    Designed to accommodate different container structures while preserving valuable interior space for personnel and equipment.

    Outdoor unit installations

    Recessed installation

    For corrugated container walls

    The outdoor unit is recessed into the container wall, allowing compact integration into the container structure.

    Surface-mounted installation

    For flat exterior walls

    The outdoor unit is mounted onto the exterior wall, providing a practical installation option for special-purpose containers.

    Indoor evaporator installation

    Ceiling-mounted evaporator

    Installed on the container ceiling to provide air distribution while keeping floor and wall space available for equipment and personnel.

    Wall-mounted evaporator

    Installed directly behind the outdoor unit, with an adjustable mounting plate to accommodate different installation heights.


    Engineered to fit your application

    Every container application has unique structural, electrical and operational requirements. Lumikko works closely with customers to adapt the cooling system to their specific needs.

    System configurations can be tailored to accommodate different container layouts, electrical interfaces, air distribution needs and control requirements.

    For applications requiring higher cooling capacities, Lumikko can develop solutions with increased performance and appropriately sized components.

    Additional options

    Lumikko is developing additional configurations for specialised container applications, including an ATEX-related solution for environments where explosive atmospheres may occur and an integrated heating option for cold-weather operation.

    Dimensions & integration requirements

    Outdoor unit dimensions

    The outdoor unit measures 590 × 920 × 300 mm and can be recessed into the container wall to minimise external projection. If the container’s front-wall structure provides at least 300 mm of available installation depth, a separate recess may not be required.

    Indoor evaporator dimensions

    The indoor evaporator measures 575 × 512 × 211 mm and can be mounted on the ceiling or wall, depending on the selected system configuration. It can also be supplied pre-connected to the outdoor unit as part of the Monoblock configuration.

    Dimensions shown are for the standard cooling configuration. Dimensions may vary for customised systems and future heating options.
