AIR CYCLE TO EXPAND REGULATED WASTE DISPOSAL SOLUTIONS
At its core is the ability of the RH460 to utilize an enhanced
air cycle, which leads to a reduction in fuel consumption.
This servo-controlled hydraulic pump is said to offer extra power for rapid
air cycle times for even less energy consumption.
