Ground Vehicle ECS

This system is installed on the U.S. Marine Corps Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle (EFV) to provide cooling for the crew and mission critical electronics. The EFV is a heavy assault platform with stringent environmental requirements. Fairchild Controls developed this thermal management system for General Dynamics Land Systems. The vapor cycle system is driven hydraulically and produces 25.4 kWs of cooling into two distributed systems. The system is composed of an air handling unit, a compressor motor unit, and a nuclear, biological, and chemical filtration system.
