Function
VIESA Intelligent Plus is a roof mounted cab cooler that delivers cool air to the
truck's cabin using evaporative cooling and without running the truck's engine.
Operation
Cooling is generated by vaporized cool water delivered by a self-contained
electrical motor. During operation it only consumes water and it makes no use of
internal combustion engines, nor does it use chemical coolants or emit gases into
the atmosphere. The unit is equipped with a water pump located in an auxiliary
tank which takes water to the evaporator. A biturbo blower pushes the exterior
air to the interior of the truck forcing the air through the evaporator and
therefore cooling the warm air. The exceeding water backs to the water tank.
Application
Applied to any vehicle with an operating voltage of 12 V.
