CASE STUDIES
Wire Line Cabin
Surrounding Area: Class 1, Division 2, Group C & D Hazardous Rating
Interior Space: Declassified by NFPA 496 Pressurization
Bebco Solution: 3 RHP Eco Pump™ Units & 1 RDP Pressurizer
This Wire Line Cabin is equipped with three Bebco Model RHP Hazardous Location Roof Mounted Heat Pumps, mounted alongside a roof mounted Remote Pressurizer to protect and control the interior climate.
An unusually excessive heat load due to the amount of equipment inside the cabin make cooling a year-round necessity, despite wide fluctuation of surrounding ambient temperatures.
In addition, this cabin is equipped with a flexible fresh air intake duct that must often be routed to a location below the cabin to attain a source of fresh air.
Portable Laboratory
Surrounding Area: Class 1, Division 2, Group B Hazardous Rating
Interior Space: Protected by Emergency Ventilation System
Bebco Solution: 2 RAC Smart Cool™ Units & 2 WMV Ventilation Fans
This Portable Laboratory features two Bebco Model RAC Hazardous Location Roof Mount Air Conditioners and two Bebco Model WMV Wall Mount Ventilation Fans that are controlled by an alarm system provided by others.
The Fans introduce fresh air in the laboratory if any gas is detected and the gas detector sends a remote alarm signal to a nearby control room to alert operators of an onerous condition.
Sealed glove-box vent hoods were also utilized to mitigate hazards during sample preparation, to limit the need for emergency ventilation.
Entry Gate Security Kiosk
Surrounding Area: Unclassified Ordinary Location
Interior Space: Declassified by AHJ
Bebco Solution: 1 RAC Eco Cool™ Unit
This Security Kiosk is equipped with one Bebco Model RAC Hazardous Location Roof Mounted Air Conditioner.
This kiosk is located just outside a classified location and requires 24 hour attendance to accommodate product transportation truck filling operations. Since there are flammable liquid tanks very nearby, the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) required a Class I Division 2 exterior equipment rating to ensure the kiosk can be operated safely at all times.
Offshore Rig Crane Cab
Surrounding Atmosphere: Highly Corrosive Unclassified Rating
Interior Space: Declassified by AHJ
Bebco Solution: 1 RHP Basic Unit
The small crane cabin located to the right side of the crane boom features a Bebco Model RHP Ordinary Location Roof Mount Heat Pump with Basic Controls, to provide comfortable year-round working conditions.
Due to the cabin’s location high above the offshore oil platform it serves, the only critical issue is a highly corrosive salt air environment. For this reason, the customer selected a 316 stainless steel case and our Heresite® ES-600 Coil and Refrigerant Tube coating to greatly extend the service life-span of this unit.
A standard discharge grille with integrated Basic controls is positioned directly over the operator to maximize air distribution effectiveness and place the unit controls within easy standing reach of the operator. As an added benefit, the unit features a hand-held remote control, so the operator may remain seated while adjusting the unit.
Beat the elements with superior corrosion resistance options!
Bebco Model RAC Air Conditioners and RHP Heat Pumps can provide a superior solution to applications in highly corrosive on-shore and off-shore locations. Options include economical polycarbonate covers with galvanized steel chassis, 304 or 316 stainless steel covers and chassis, or hybrid versions with polycarbonate covers and 304 or 316 stainless steel chassis.
To further enhance corrosion resistance, we can also apply spray painted or powder coated finishes to our galvanized or stainless-steel covers and chassis.

Suitability & Installation Advantages
Bebco Model RAC Air Conditioners and RHP Heat Pumps are suitable for any environment with optional enhancements for corrosion resistance, and suitable for any application from Unclassified to Class I, Division 2, Group A-D Hazardous Areas.
Bebco Model RAC Air Conditioners and RHP Heat Pumps are intended for industrial applications. They are ideal for small control rooms, guard stations, laboratories, analyzer houses and other industrial facility structures ranging from small to mid-size rooms or buildings.
Since these units can be mounted quickly and easily over a small curb flanged roof cutout, they are also extremely practical retrofit units to provide new or supplemental cooling and heating, and practical for multiple or large rooms when used in tandem.
Smart Cool™ & Smart Pump™ Controls have alarm contacts!
As a very unique feature, Bebco Model RAC and RHP Units with Smart Cool™ or Smart Pump™ Controls feature alarm contacts and flashing red alarm screens. Multiple Unit alarm contacts for buildings in remote locations can be wired in series to a single constantly attended alarm point, so operators can respond promptly to act upon any unit failure.
In addition, these alarm contacts can be set as open or close to alarm so installers are free to utilize either directly powered or fail-safe alarm circuits.
