From sub-zero cold to withering heat, some of the harshest environments on Earth are testing the capabilities and capacities of vehicles. Mining is a special case because operators push their machines to their limits. This article explores the ways modern cooling applications are beating the heat under the unrelenting demands of mining.
The questions and answers have been condensed from a conversation with Dirk Kreunen, Vice President of Global Off-Highway Sales for Horton, Inc., a worldwide provider of premium engine-cooling solutions. Dirk has been all over the world, working side by side with miners to create customized cooling solutions.
Topics covered include:
- Where are the highest temperatures in the world for mining
