GlacierLab

How do we constantly leverage and scale the products and capabilities of Glacier Bay? We have created GlacierLab to provide a platform and focus for product development.

We work to understand applications and markets that can apply our technology. Then we concept new products and track the value we add at every step of the development process. If the new product makes sense to continue as a Glacier Bay product we do so. If it makes more sense for someone else, we understand the value we have added so we can be paid accordingly.

An overview of the services we offer:

Design and development of energy control systems
Battery management
Temperature control
Variable speed compressor control
Load following generator controls

Reduce Your Idle %

The ClimaCab® electric APU provides 10 hours of temperature control for sleeper cabs without the need to idle your engine. The result is significant fuel savings, improved driver comfort and less engine hours during the truck's trade cycle. Click here to learn more.

Conserving Oil

A Class 8 Truck consumes .8 gallons per hour of diesel fuel while idling at night to keep its driver comfortable in the sleeper cab. Many trucks idle up to 2000 hours per year consuming 1600 gallons of fuel.

Our ClimaCab electric APU eliminates the need to idle the truck's engine. Fleets can save as much as $4800 per truck per year.

Eliminating Carbon

The United States EPA estimates that 22.2 pounds of CO2 is generated for every gallon of fuel consumed. A truck idling 2000 hours a year puts over 17 tons of carbon into the atmosphere.

There are approximately 2 million trucks operating in the United States, half of which are sleeper cabs that typically idle at this level.

Glacier Bay is having a huge impact on the environment by eliminating idling.

Changing Power Generation

The generator set has not changed a lot since its introduction. Most designs run at two speeds -- idle and full rpm -- and are sized for their peak output characteristics.

Glacier Bay is changing that. Our "load aware" power electronics technology actually anticipates changes in the load on a system and varies the engine speed of the generator accordingly. The result is reduced fuel consumption, lighter, small size systems, noise reduction and an overall increase in responsiveness. This "disruptive technology" will change the face of the generator set market.
