1.How the battery-based idle free electric air conditioner works? .
answer
  • The EcoFleet DC air conditioner units provide the ideal solution for cooling almost any application that has batteries and an appropriate charging system.
  • Normally, when the truck engine is running, a truck's alternator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy to charge the truck's starter batteries and, in turn, power A/C systems.
  • More often than not, the energy produced by the truck's alternator exceeds the amount of energy needed. This energy is usually wasted. The battery-based idle free electric air conditioner captures this energy and converts into cooling air.
1.What’s the advantages by using brushless DC compressor motor? .
answer

The DC compressor and its controller are connected directly to the battery. This permits the unit to operate directly from DC power and eliminates the need for a power inverter. The Ecofleet air conditioners can save power when the environment temperature drops thus less cooling equals less amp draw, which then equates to longer battery life.
