FLUID ECONOMY

Product development continuously generates numerous features that save fluid and minimize environmental impact.

Freeze Point+® provides optimal blend according to actual weather conditions, thereby saving significant amount of fluid. The system ensures very accurate mix, fast reaction times and has a surveillance safety system.

Heating systems
In addition to the highly efficient Vestergaard heater the Batch Heating System and the Hot at Nozzle System economically and effectively provide hot fluid to the nozzle at all times. The Batch Heating System ensures hot fluid (85°C/185°F) available immediately after refilling.The Hot at Nozzle System circulates hot fluid in external fluid lines ensuring maximum de-icing efficiency immediately when opening the nozzle.
A heat exchanger can be installed for gently heating Type II/IV fluids to maximize spraying temperature.

Low flow fluid application — Thickened fluid can be applied in a uniform layer at low flow rate maintaining fluid properties.

Forced Air System provides a highly efficient snow removal procedure by the manoeuvrable nozzle and the shortest possible blow distance.

Diaphragm pumps
To minimize fluid degradation the Elephant® fluid system is equipped with diaphragm pumps.

MANPOWER EFFICIENCY

The deicer can be easily switched from two-man to one-man operation and back allowing maximum manpower flexibility. In one-man operation mode all chassis movements are controlled from the operators cabin. When de-icing with aircraft engines running, the one-man operation ensures that the operator keeps a safe distance from the engine blast.

The Data Transmission System organizes, collects and processes the de-icing data, in order to optimize operations of the de-icing fleet. Additionally the Data Transmission System can organize the dispatch of the de-icing fleet.

To improve and facilitate de-icing operations Vestergaard de-icing units are now available with hydrostatic drive.
