Due to its modular concept, variable connections and application options, the new Spheros aluminium frontbox for climate control in the driver’s compartment guarantees significantly more flexibility and comfort.
Any bus driver who sits at the wheel for long hours will welcome pleasant temperatures and a high degree of safety at his workplace at the front of the bus, with an uninterrupted view of the road and traffic. You may think that this is as easy as you with your own car. But the air conditioning, heating or defrosting of the far larger bus windscreen cannot be compared with the more modest requirements of a car. Significantly greater air masses must be moved in the bus, and for safety reasons no compromises can be tolerated when it comes to heating and air conditioning. The blowers of the new Spheros aluminium frontbox generate an unimpeded air circulation of up to 1,100 m3 (free blowing) per hour.
Compared to older models which were usually made of steel, the new aluminium frontbox is a true lightweight (12 kg). With a housing and heat exchanger made of 100% of aluminium we achieve not only significant advantages in terms of weight, but also with respect to corrosion protection. Its modular design and variable connection options provide maximum flexibility. Depending on the requirements of the bus manufacturer, the unit can be mounted either vertically or horizontally, in the centre of the dashboard, below the floor or below/behind the driver’s seat. In addition, the air manifold can be adapted to the specific vehicle type.
