Heaters for Aviation and Defence
New Generation Heater NGH-1,
NSN 4520-01-482-8571
This heater is the US Air Force's AGE (Aerospace Ground Equipment) heater to replace a fleet of obsolete old equipment. In a fierce international competition, Polartherm won the award. The first deliveries took place in the year 2000. Thousands of heaters are in use on AFB's all over the world from Alaska to Antarctic. With very few warranty issues and a minimal spares parts need, the units have operated to full satisfaction of the users and maintainers around the world. The yellow unit pictured above is one of a fleet of 30, used by the US National Science Foundation on their Antarctic McMurdo Research Station and on the South Pole itself. These units were modified only slightly from the basic NGH to function in the Antarctic conditions. The NGH is now used by Air Forces of several countries.
