Aspen Systems

Concord, MA – Aspen System’s Jim Burnett participated in Solider Ride Boston to benefit the Wounded Warrior Project.  Aspen employees were encouraged to sponsor Jim as the company matched any donation made by employees.  Over $2,300 was raised by the small company and its employees for the Solider Ride Boston.

“It’s a tremendous cause and I am grateful for the opportunity to ride next to these Warriors,” stated Jim Burnett, Director of Government Business Development at Aspen Systems.  “We work very closely with many military personnel, this is a nice way of having fun while all raising money for those who have risked their lives to protect us.  I can’t wait to do it again next year!”

Aspen Compressor, LLC completed a major milestone in demonstrating its manufacturing capacity to produce mini-compressors for defense applications. The demonstration was performed for the Department of Defense (DoD) as part of a Title III contract under the Defense Production Act. The multiyear contract from the DoD has a budget of $7.7 million in government funding for the purpose of creating a domestic manufacturing capability for small refrigeration compressors.

Aspen Systems was selected recently by the U.S. Army’s Soldier System Center in Natick, MA to optimize its Personal Cooling System and extend its operating functionality. Mobile and portable refrigeration systems are prone to difficult operating conditions, frequently not in vertical orientations, which can affect the performance of fluids and lubricants. An orientation-independent system would allow the military combatant complete freedom of movement, with minimal effect on cooling performance. Personal cooling has taken on new importance in the military due to the nature of desert warfare in recent years.
