How it works

Cooled air where heat hits hardest

ActivCooling is a wearable air conditioner built around a certified hard hat, not a fan clipped onto one.

Air in

A fan draws air into the cooling unit on the back of the helmet.

Solid-state cooling

A bismuth-tellurium thermoelectric module chills the air. No compressor, no refrigerant gas, no water.

Cool air out

4 CFM of cooled air circulates over the scalp, eyes and ears, inside the shell and behind the visor.

Heat out

The module's hot side vents through the exhaust, away from the head.

Controls

Three buttons, no app

  • Long-press MODE to switch the unit on or off
  • Short-press MODE to toggle between low (15 W) and high (22 W) cooling
  • HEAT reverses the module for 22 W of heating on cold mornings and winter shifts
  • Four-LED gauge shows charge in 25 % steps; the bottom LED blinks below 10 %, and the unit switches itself off when the battery is flat

Charge only with the supplied 12.6 V charger. The helmet can't be worn while it's charging.

Where it's used

Built for heat you can't air-condition

Designed for ambient temperatures of 40–60 °C, where workers lose focus and pace to the heat.

Steel, foundry & process plants

Furnace floors and hot bays where ambient air sits above 40 °C.

Heavy industry

Traffic & outdoor duty

Junction duty and patrols in direct sun. Pair with the tinted visor.

Police & municipal

Towers, substations & panels

Telecom and power crews working in sun with no shade to retreat to.

Utilities

Construction & warehouses

Roofing, steel erection and tin-roof sheds where ventilation can't reach.

Sites

Confined, poorly ventilated work

Places where split ACs or wall fans can't be installed.

Maintenance

Winter shifts

The same helmet heats at 22 W when temperatures drop.

Proven on steel floors and traffic junctions

“The helmets changed how our teams approached summer shifts. Operators no longer rushed tasks just to get out of the heat. Safety improved, and so did morale.”

Use & care

  • Charge fully before first use, with the supplied charger only
  • Adjust the ratchet so the helmet sits level, and keep the chin strap fastened
  • Clean with lukewarm water and a soft cloth; remove the harness first. No solvents, detergents or alcohol
  • Store dry at 0–30 °C, away from direct sun, heat and flammable substances
  • Replace the helmet after any heavy impact, even with no visible damage
  • Replace the helmet every 3 years and the harness every 2 years; the cooling system is rated for up to 11,000 hours of use
  • Recycle as e-waste. The Li-ion battery must never be burned
FAQ

Common questions

Still unsure? Ask us: we reply within 24 hours.

Internal or external battery: which should I choose?
Choose the external battery (JACH01-WEC / WET) for full shifts: 10,400 mAh, up to 8 hours, in a 900 g waist-mounted pack. Choose the internal battery (JACH01-WIC / WIT) for short tasks and rotating crews: 2,600 mAh, up to 2 hours, built into the helmet with nothing on the belt.
How does a helmet cool without a compressor?
A solid-state thermoelectric module (bismuth-tellurium semiconductor) gets cold on one side when current flows. A fan pushes 4 CFM of air across the cold side and over your head; the hot side vents through the exhaust. There's no refrigerant, water or ice.
Does it also heat?
Yes. Press HEAT and the unit delivers 22 W of heating, so the same helmet works on cold mornings and winter shifts.
Is it a certified safety helmet?
Yes. The shell and harness are tested to IS 2925:1984 and EN 397:2012, and the clause-by-clause IS 2925 results are listed above. Jarsh is ISO 9001:2015 certified.
Can it be used in hazardous (ATEX) areas?
No. ActivCooling is not rated for explosive atmospheres. For ventilation in a classified zone, see the ATEX Industrial Blower.
Does it replace heat-stress controls?
No. It improves thermal comfort at the head. Keep your heat-stress plan in place: water, rest breaks and shade. ActivCooling is not a medical device.
What colours are available?
White hat with a grey cooling unit, or yellow hat with a red cooling unit. Each comes with a clear or tinted visor.
What warranty does it carry?
One year from invoice, followed by one more year of after-sales service from Jarsh.
Do you supply in bulk and work with dealers?
Yes. For crews and plant-wide roll-outs, request a quote. To stock ActivCooling, apply to become a dealer.
