Where to Get Power for Installing Air Conditioning in a Heavy Truck?
1 Answers
To install air conditioning in a heavy truck, an additional generator can be installed, and an inverter can be used to convert DC power into AC power, thereby supplying electricity to the air conditioning unit. Methods for modifying truck air conditioning: Install a household air conditioning indoor unit on the top of the cab sleeper and an outdoor unit behind the cab. Place the generator in the trailer toolbox, using gasoline or diesel as fuel. The drawbacks include high noise levels, susceptibility to malfunctions, and potential penalties for illegal modifications. Overhead electric air conditioning modification: This method utilizes the sunroof space, integrating the compressor, radiator, and air outlets into a highly compact unit. This is a relatively mature modification method and is not subject to inspection for illegal modifications. It maximizes the use of the original air conditioning system, requires minimal modification work, eliminates the need for a separate indoor unit in the cab, thus preserving cab space. It uses the air vents on the central console for more uniform cooling, avoids the need for a separate outdoor unit, and is not subject to inspection for illegal modifications. It can be applied to light trucks, medium trucks, heavy trucks, and tractors.
