A Global Air Conditioning Company
What makes Red Dot Corporation different than other commercial air conditioning system manufacturers? In a word: excellence. Throughout the globe, Red Dot air conditioning components are used everywhere from military vehicles to mining rigs to mail trucks. Governments and private corporations depend on Red Dot to provide them with the finest environmental control components in both hot and cold weather.
Most people hear “air conditioning” and think “cold air.” While this is partially correct, there is a lot more to air conditioning than simply lowering the temperature. You might not realize an air conditioning system is responsible for not only cooling, but (depending on the application) heating and managing humidity. Managing humidity is an often-overlooked aspect of a proper climate control system design. When you think about it, however, you understand how this must be the case.
How often have you climbed into your car on a cold morning and turned on the window defroster, only to have it take several minutes to get the job done? This sort of delay in a time-sensitive industry or an emergent situation can drastically interfere with the performance of your vehicle. Imagine driving an ambulance with foggy windows… or worse, having to wait to leave until the job is done. When every second counts, a low-quality climate control system can really put a damper on your operation. That’s why professionals and operators the world over trust Red Dot.
With Red Dot’s superior quality control and thoughtful custom applications, you can rest assured that your air conditioning system will be ready to go when you are. Do not waste precious time waiting for your climate control to kick on. Depending on the application, time is at least money. If the application is military or medical, time lost could be lives lost. Red Dot knows the responsibility it carries, and the way that its systems ultimately effect thousands.
That’s why their teams of designers, engineers, and certified Red Dot dealers like Jackson’s care so much about what they do. They know that their air conditioning systems are the unsung heroes of many a worker’s otherwise long, hot day or icy morning. Without Red Dot, and especially when using sometimes cost-saving OEM components, there is no telling whether your air handling system will be able to handle the load expected out of today’s tough industrial and commercial applications.
Of course, every manufacturer today strives to give the best to the customers. Thoughtful execution and custom design is the difference between these OEM systems and a custom Red Dot air conditioning system. Without the custom touch, there is no telling whether the system the manufacturer originally designed will perform to its fullest in your application. After all, global manufacturers must build their vehicles to a specification that will work in a variety of conditions.
This means that, though they might be able to create an air conditioning system capable of working over a 130 degree range, the same system will not be dialed in to the likely more narrow temperature range your vehicle typically operates in. The ability to design your air handling system to meet the specific needs of you application equates to less time wasted waiting for your components to come online, along with added comfort for the operators who use these vehicles every day.

The valve train is one of the places where the need for an engine overhaul might manifest. Worn valves lead to what is known as “blow-by,” which happens when gasses escape through the valves during the compression stroke. This can lead to any number of issues: hesitation while accelerating, engine backfiring, and spark plug fouling are just the beginning. A worn drivetrain might continue to run for tens of thousands of miles, but every new mile is another mile where the rest of the engine is being effected. In the worst-case scenario, a valve might break or shatter, in which case not only will your vehicle likely be undrivable – it will almost certainly require an overhaul, since tiny pieces of hardened steel running rampant throughout your car’s block inevitably scratch and score the cylinder walls and can cause other valve to shatter as well.
The cylinder bores are where the real action happens. It is the passage of the piston through the cylinder bores that creates the compression necessary for clean and efficient ignition. Even in cars which have been immaculately maintained, engineering can cause cylinder bore wear over time. Cylinder bore wear can drastically decrease your engine’s output, as well as negatively effect your oil. As particles of metal and soot enter your own through the grooves cut in worn cylinder walls, your oil goes from being a lubricant to a carrier of abrasive agents. You do not want abrasive agents in your lubricant, for obvious reasons.
When you need to overhaul your cylinder bores, you must also replace your pistons. Typically, whatever damaged your cylinder bores in the first place also damaged your pistons. And because re-honing your cylinder bores requires removing enough material to completely smooth them out, this means the cylinder bores end up being slightly bigger than they were from the factory. Installing factory pistons into a block that has been re-bored would increase the distance between the cylinder walls and the piston enough to allow combustion gasses to escape easily, thus defeating the purpose of your engine overhaul all together.
When you are replacing your pistons, there is always the opportunity to dial in a little more performance out of your car. As far as pistons go, a few factors determine the performance benefits they might provide. The first is compression ratio. Compression ratio is controlled by the shape of the piston’s top and the shape of the combustion chamber. When a piston allows more space in the combustion chamber, this will lead to a lower compression ratio. When the piston squishes the air into a smaller space in the combustion chamber, this leaders to a higher compression ratio. A higher compression ratio means that a car can generate more power from the same amount of fuel, since power is determined by the ferocity of the explosion within the combustion chamber. Higher compression leads to a more violent explosion, and therefore more power.
In a diesel engine, the compression ratio is all that matters. Diesel engines work at lower RPMs than gasoline engines do, since their compression ignition loses volumetric efficiency at high speeds. At low speeds, however, diesel engines create substantially more torque with substantially less fuel than their spark-ignited cousins. This means that the health of your valvetrain and rotating assembly is especially important.
Most modern diesels (and increasingly, high-performance motors in general) benefit from turbocharging. Turbocharging harnesses energy usually lost through exhaust to pressurize air before it enters the engine. This pressurized air effectively increases the compression ratio of the engine, with the expected increase in performance following. Of course, turbocharged engines rely even more heavily on a tightly-sealed and well-maintained engine to function effectively. The increased pressure and heat necessitate specially-fortified pistons, valvetrain components, and blocks to deal with the extra stress. Incidentally, this is why it generally a poor idea to install aftermarket turbochargers on naturally-aspirated cars. However, if you were really interested to see what an engine overhaul looks like in real life, this might not be a bad idea. We would not recommend it, however.
Engine overhauls come in two basic forms. A in-chassis overhaul does not involve removing the engine from your vehicle. The head will typically be removed from the block. All valves, valve seals, cams, rocker arms, rollers and hardware will checked and replaced if damaged. The pistons will be removed and fitted with new rings. All seals, bearings, and guides will be checked and replaced if necessary. A major overhaul involved removing the entire engine from the chassis. It includes every service performed during an in-chassis overhaul, plus stripping everything off the engine and replacing most moving parts with factory-spec parts.
