The ATR features a Mil-grade high-performance Rotron fan, capable of providing over 15 CFM per slot at altitudes over 35000 feet and operating temperature of - 55 degrees C to 85 degrees C. This is an important consideration for mission-critical applications where conditions are extreme.

Designed to meet MIL-STD's 5400, 810E, 461E, 704A, 275A, the Elma ATR family is ideal for use with commercially available cards in airborne, ground mobile or shipboard applications. Conduction cooled ATRs are also available.
