LEMUR-AG15 Solar Mitigation Systems
RSP is an approved supplier and installer of LEMUR-AG15 Solar Mitigation Systems, providing practical solar mitigation solutions for railway infrastructure and critical outdoor equipment.
Approved Supplier & Installer
RSP is an approved supplier and installer of LEMUR-AG15 Solar Mitigation Systems, providing practical solar mitigation solutions for railway infrastructure and critical outdoor equipment.
Developed by Haide Technologies, LEMUR-AG15 is a passive thermal management system designed to reduce the effects of solar gain on equipment housings, cabinets, buildings and other outdoor infrastructure.
By reflecting solar energy before it is absorbed by the enclosure, LEMUR-AG15 helps reduce temperature rise and thermal cycling inside equipment housings.
RSP can supply and install LEMUR-AG15 for existing assets, retrofit programmes and new infrastructure projects.
Reduce Solar Gain. Protect Railway Equipment.
Outdoor railway equipment can be exposed to significant solar radiation, particularly during periods of high temperature and direct sunlight.
Solar gain can increase the temperature inside equipment housings, creating challenging conditions for electronic, electrical and signalling equipment.
LEMUR-AG15 provides a passive way to reduce the impact of solar gain.
Applied to the external surface of an equipment housing, the system reflects and dissipates solar energy before it contributes significantly to heat build-up inside the enclosure.
Haide Technologies states that LEMUR-AG15 blocks approximately 98% of solar gain.
There is no electrical power, fan or moving equipment required.
What is LEMUR-AG15?
LEMUR-AG15 is a passive solar mitigation system developed by Haide Technologies for outdoor equipment and infrastructure.
The flexible material incorporates aluminium and woven glass and is supplied with a structural adhesive backing. It can be cut to suit individual equipment housings and structures.
Once installed, LEMUR-AG15 provides a reflective external layer that reduces the amount of solar energy absorbed by the enclosure.
Key benefits
- Reduces solar gain
- Passive — no power required
- Suitable for retrofit applications
- Suitable for new infrastructure
- Fast and straightforward installation
- Lightweight and flexible
- Low maintenance
How Does LEMUR-AG15 Work?
Solar radiation
Direct sunlight transfers energy to the external surface of an unprotected enclosure.
Solar mitigation
LEMUR-AG15 is applied to the external surface, reflecting solar energy away from the housing.
Reduced heat absorption
Less solar energy is absorbed by the enclosure, reducing the contribution of solar gain to internal temperature rise.
Improved thermal conditions
Reducing temperature rise and thermal cycling helps create a more stable operating environment for equipment inside.
A simple, passive approach to a growing infrastructure challenge.
LEMUR-AG15 for Railway Infrastructure
LEMUR-AG15 was developed to address the challenge of overheating railway assets during periods of high summer temperatures.
It can be used across a range of outdoor railway equipment and infrastructure affected by solar gain.
Applications include:
- Signalling location cases
- Relocatable Equipment Buildings (REBs)
- Principal Supply Point structures
- Auxiliary Supply Point structures
- DNO cubicles
- Points heating cubicles
- Level crossing equipment
- Train detection equipment
- Other trackside equipment housings
LEMUR-AG15 can be applied to both existing assets and new infrastructure, subject to the requirements of the specific application.
Network Rail Product Acceptance PA05/07241
LEMUR-AG15 has Network Rail Product Acceptance under certificate PA05/07241.
The current acceptance documentation covers the use and trial use of LEMUR-AG15 on relevant railway infrastructure for which Network Rail is the Infrastructure Manager.
The acceptance identifies LEMUR-AG15 as a solar mitigation system for railway enclosures and structures affected by solar gain.
For larger structures such as REBs, individual assessment is required to establish the appropriate kit design and installation approach.
RSP can discuss the requirements for your specific application.
LEMUR-AG15 Retrofit Installation
A practical way to upgrade existing railway assets
LEMUR-AG15 can be applied to suitable existing equipment housings, providing a practical way to address solar gain without replacing the complete enclosure.
The system is applied externally and can be supplied as panels designed to suit the enclosure profile.
RSP’s installation service
Assess
We review the asset, location and areas exposed to solar gain.
Measure
The relevant surfaces are measured to establish the required panel configuration.
Prepare
Surfaces are prepared in accordance with the manufacturer’s requirements.
Install
RSP’s approved installation team applies the LEMUR-AG15 panels.
Complete
The finished installation is checked and the asset returned to service in accordance with the project requirements.
RSP can support individual installations as well as larger multi-site retrofit programmes.
LEMUR-AG15 for New Railway Projects
Solar mitigation can also be considered as part of new infrastructure.
RSP can supply and install LEMUR-AG15 for new equipment housings, enclosures and suitable railway structures.
Applications can include:
- New signalling location cases
- Railway equipment housings
- Power equipment enclosures
- Telecommunications equipment
- Points heating equipment
- New-build trackside infrastructure
Considering solar gain during the project design stage provides an opportunity to address thermal requirements before equipment is installed.
