Homeland Security environments require precise and dependable HVAC systems that meet strict standards. Air Innovations offers fully customized HVAC solutions for various Homeland Security applications, including airport HVAC and explosives detection at security checkpoints.

Homeland-Security

Custom Environmental Control for the World's Security Infrastructure

Airports and other Homeland Security environments need specialized environmental control systems. Air Innovations provides solutions that meet strict specifications for temperature, humidity, and other critical factors.

Here are some of the main elements that go into our Homeland Security HVAC system design.

Deployable and Ruggedized HVAC Units

Deployable and Ruggedized HVAC Units

Many Homeland Security applications need HVAC units that can withstand harsh conditions while maintaining portability. Our rugged construction can protect mobile equipment from vibrations, impact, and handling during transport. We’ve built units that operate in extreme climates, from Alaska to Dubai.

Depending on your needs, we can engineer HVAC systems for fixed and mobile applications, with units deployed in many airports around the world.

Precision Environmental Control and Filtration

Precision Environmental Control and Filtration

TSA baggage scanning zones and explosives detection systems are sensitive to temperature fluctuations, which could otherwise compromise system performance and integrity. The bulbs in scanning systems are often not fully enclosed, leaving them vulnerable to ambient temperature and humidity exposure.

Custom HVAC units can effectively control these factors and provide consistent filtration to reduce the risk of malfunctions and errors during scanning. Our solutions can offer precise temperature control within OEM equipment operating at 14 °F to 131 °F (-10 °C to 55 °C), meeting tolerance requirements as precise as ±1-2 °F and ±2-5% RH.

Regulatory and OEM Integration

Regulatory and OEM Integration

When designing a custom HVAC system for Homeland Security, Air Innovations understands that these applications have very strict requirements to maintain regulatory compliance.

To address these needs, we design all of our systems to meet the OEM requirements in place for these applications. For example, we have ample experience developing specialized environmental control units for the following standards:

  • ISO 14644-1 cleanroom environments
  • MIL STD applications
  • SEMI standards

Our custom units can be engineered as sub-systems for OEM equipment, fitting inside existing enclosures.

Global Service and Lifecycle Support

Global Service and Lifecycle Support

To keep systems functioning properly, Air Innovations provides convenient service and lifecycle support for our customers, enabling them to simply ship their units to us for repairs or replacements as needed. Regardless of where our customers are located, they can benefit from top-tier maintenance and get the solutions they need when they need them.

Homeland Security HVAC FAQs

What types of environmental control systems does Air Innovations design for the Homeland Security sector?

Systems include deployable HVAC units for mobile command centers, chemical/biological/radiological/nuclear (CBRN) filtration units, and ruggedized cooling/heating for sensitive surveillance and detection equipment.

How do these systems differ from standard HVAC units in functionality and engineering?

Unlike off-the-shelf commercial HVAC, Homeland Security units are engineered for rapid deployment, portability, extreme durability, and effectiveness in a wide range of environments. They also integrate multi-layered filtration and advanced controls for precise environmental conditioning.

What control tolerances do these units achieve for temperature and humidity?

Air Innovations systems can maintain narrow control tolerances, often as precise as ±1–2 °F and ±2–5% RH, even under widely fluctuating ambient conditions. This ensures equipment and personnel can operate reliably.

Can the systems be integrated inside existing OEM aerospace or security equipment enclosures?

Yes. Units can be engineered as OEM sub-systems that fit inside larger enclosures, vehicles, or shelters, with interfaces that integrate seamlessly with existing controls.

Can the systems meet MIL STD, SEMI, or other specific regulatory or performance standards?

Yes. Air Innovations customizes units to meet relevant standards, including MIL STD (military ruggedness), SEMI (semiconductor industry), and other sector-specific regulations.

What OEM applications are Air Innovations’ systems built for?

Past projects include ECUs for portable security detection equipment, mobile CBRN shelters, and aerospace support systems, all engineered to OEM specifications.
