Solution

The installed units ensure the correct balance of temperature and humidity during transport

The Austrian company Gföllner appointed HiRef to build the air conditioning system of the container used for transporting a satellite of the European Space Agency (ESA) from Austria to the city of Kourou in French Guiana in South America.

From North to South, how were the right thermal and humidity conditions maintained during transport?

Thanks to two monobloc units from the HTW piggyback range ensuring redundancy. The satellite could then reach its destination always at the right temperature and ready for its space journey.

Units installed:
2x HTW01451
