RV & Mobile Equipment
Ignition Safety, Temperature Control, and Overheat Protection for Mobile Heating & Equipment Systems
Recreational vehicles, construction heaters, pipeline equipment, asphalt applicators, and other mobile systems must perform reliably in some of the harshest operating environments. Constant vibration, temperature extremes, moisture, dust, fluctuating LP gas pressure, and rugged handling all increase the risk of ignition failure or overheating. For manufacturers, dependable safety controls aren’t optional; they are essential to protecting end users, ensuring product performance, and maintaining brand reputation.
