Thomson is the world leader in digital video technologies. That’s why top media, entertainment and communications companies turn to Thomson to get the right images to the right place at the right time – over time. 

And that’s why Thomson turns to McLean Cooling Technology to help keep the broadcast systems of its customers up and running 24/7. 

“We recently tested a new UHF base station for one of our clients,” said Don Wike, Chief Design Engineer.  “We put our system, including McLean’s outdoor air conditioner, through a pretty rigorous Telcordia GR487 test protocol.  We shook the UHF system, dropped it from over 18 inches, and simulated years of cold winters and hot summers in a cycle chamber.  After all this, the McLean unit still performed beautifully.”

Don added, “Our customers count on Thomson to design a rugged digital media system.  And we count on McLean to keep the electronics cool.  We had over 8,000 watts of heat to dissipate in the new UHF base station system.  McLean’s 3-ton A/C unit proved it can handle the load.  They also allowed us to use their thermo-cycle test chamber, saving us R&D costs.” 

For electronics cooling that performs under extreme conditions, take a serious look at McLean.
