Air conditioning

Another winter-sensitive part is the heat exchanger of air conditioning unit on the end of the RF container. This is completely exposed to the elements and there was a large potential of ice and snow building up and causing problems.

The the heat exchanger of the air conditioning unit is located at the end of the RF-container. 

We asked around a bit, and heard of this type of a snow shield specifically designed to keep snow and ice out of air conditioners, without interfering too much with the primary function of dissipating heat.

Here is a picture of the snow shield installed on the RF container:
