Battery-powered

hvac for day cabs

carb-compliant

NO FUEL. NO EMISSIONS. NO NOISE.

JUST CLEAN, QUIET COMFORT.

Dometic's battery-powered day cab HVAC solution is

designed to meet the unique requirements of class 5, 6,

7 and 8 trucks on short-haul routes. It provides a

maximum of 2 hours of cooling without running the

truck's engine. The system uses a bank of Group 31

absorbed glass mat (AGM) batteries, which replaces the

truck’s existing batteries. It consumes no fuel and emits

no exhaust fumes. The system’s 2,000-watt inverter

converts the 12-volt output from the batteries into

115-volt AC power to run the air conditioner. The

inverter has been specially engineered to meet the

demanding power requirements of the air conditioner.

The high-capacity alternator/regulator recharges

batteries quickly on short runs between stops and keeps

them fully charged when the engine is running. The

7,000-BTU air conditioning system consists of a

compressor/evaporator/blower unit that fits between the

seats inside the cab and a ruggedized condensing unit

that mounts outside of the truck – either behind the cab

or under the truck. The inside and outside units are

connected by flexible refrigerant linesets with reusable

quick-connect fittings. The system is precharged with

refrigerant at the factory, so that all components charge

automatically to the correct pressures when the

linesets are connected. No additional charging is

needed, and no special tools are required for

installation.

Dometic Corporation has more than 45 years

experience in engineering and building air conditioning

systems for harsh mobile environments. Dometic backs

its products with the industry’s best factory support and

service.

Notes:

1. 115 VAC flows directly to the air conditioner from an optional shorepower plug
via a pass-through circuit in the inverter.

2. With optional inverter/charger combination, unit batteries are charged when
shorepower is connected.

Inverter converts 12 VDC output from AGM 31 batteries
into 115 VAC to drive air conditioner. Alternator recharges
batteries quickly and keeps them fully charged when engine is
running. When used with optional shorepower connection,
inverter/charger unit passes 115 VAC directly through to air
conditioner and also sends charging current to batteries.
