Foster-Miller performs work in all areas related to research & development of thermal systems including heat engines, mechanical refrigeration, HVAC and air filtering. In this work, the emphasis is not only upon integrating standard components, but also upon analyzing novel problems, designing custom hardware to solve those problems, and constructing and testing prototype hardware. We do work for both the military and general industry. Foster-Miller has been involved in the development of microclimate cooling systems for military flight aircrews for almost a decade. We produce both vapor compression systems for aircraft without their own Environmental Control Systems (ECS) and non-vapor compression systems for use with platforms that have their own ECS system to provide supplemental cooling. Both system types cool garments that are worn directly against the skin to enhance heat removal from the body. Foster-Miller's conducts research & development of thermal systems for a variety of industrial applications. These typically involve a combination of heat and air or fluid flow. Applications range from new designs and instrumentation for supermarket refrigeration systems to high performance air filtration systems and micro-electromechanical (MEMS) cooling systems.
