Description
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Looking for a smart, space-saving air conditioning solution? This DC Electric Air Conditioning Compressor (18cc) is the perfect answer for any no-idle or engine-off cooling application. Ideal for vehicles or machinery where installing a traditional belt-driven compressor is impractical or impossible.
Key Features:
Voltage Options: Available in both 12V and 24V configurations
Output Range: Produces between 1 – 3.2kW of cooling power, depending on system setup and ambient conditions
Compact & Efficient: Designed for installations where space, time, or resources are limited – no need for brackets, pulleys, or engine-driven systems
Ideal Applications: Suited for trucks, off-road machinery, electric vehicles, campers, mobile workstations, and other custom builds
Technical Overview:
Compressor Type: DC electric – no need for engine operation
Displacement: 18cc
Cooling Capacity: 1 – 3.2kW (depending on system design and environment)
Power Supply: Choose between 12V or 24V (please select when ordering)
Installation Note: Requires adequate battery and alternator capacity to support amperage draw
Shipping & Pick-Up Options:
Australia-Wide Shipping: Fast dispatch from our warehouse with tracking provided
- Factory Pickup Available
INDUSTRY USE:
Material handling, Construction, Farming, Tucks, Mining, Defence, Heavy equipment, Heavy Vehicles, Transport, Rail, Civi
Application is wide spread throughout the machinery and capital equipment industry including automotive, these units also a are a great compliment to any of the Red Dot roof top systems. Or can be partnered with a range of modular condensers and evaporators giving you main resource to build a modular A/c system.
They are strong, compact, can be mounted in outside application. Can be used for a no idle application reducing in emissions and environmentally friendly.
Minimum system requirements:
- 12 volt Compressor draw (amps) @12v
- 27A – 55A depending on speed selected and condensing pressure (psi)
Compressor has a low voltage, high voltage & quick voltage fluctuation cut out function, if the voltage changes very quickly compressor will stop and not resume operation until stable voltage has been maintained.
Low voltage cut out (wont operate below) @24v = 18.5v
High voltage cut (cannot exceed) @24v = 29v
MORE INFORMATION
Compressor has a low voltage, high voltage & quick voltage fluctuation cut out function, if the voltage changes very quickly compressor will stop and not resume operation until stable voltage has been maintained.
- Low voltage cut out (wont operate below) @12v = 11v
- High voltage cut (cannot exceed) @12v = 14.2v
- 24 volt Compressor draw (amps) @24v
- 17A – 50A depending on speed selected and condensing pressure (psi)
Example: Condensing pressure @ 150psi on 35 day
- Low speed 2000rmp = 15A
- Medium speed 3350rpm = 30A
- High speed 4000rpm = 50A
*These are the approximate draw figures, the under load figures will be specific to cabling size, condensing efficiency, alternator output & ambient temp. Units must be wired in by a licensed Auto electrician and only commissioned with R134a refrigerant from a licensed technician with a Arctik AU number*
FAQs
What is the draw on these compressors?
