    12 volt driven aircon

    Has any body set up a !2 volt driven aircon, simular to a house hold inverter type Pump. Had though a house invertor heat pump driven by a 12/240 invertor. Just sold my van after 10 years and looking at possibities to sort an all rounder system for a Toyota coaster
    cheers

    BLOODY HELL! Changing technology never, never ceases to amaze me.

    I remember the first (??) belt driven Vehicle AC compressors I can recall were 2 cylinder cast iron bodied Tecumseh from the U.S. Heavy as old ****, (not that I have weighed old **** & a figure of speech.)


    No electric in those days, (only elec. driven Freezer Trucks & only then when they were parked up) etc that I was aware of & now I'm showing my age.

    Whis these were around when I had my MGBGT , sold it because it was too hot to drive even in winter. I had asked a few A/C places if there were any & was tod only for trucks . I looked at putting motor driven compressor on but it would have taken too much power out of the 1800cc & in Brisbane it was always running on the hot side of the gauge so when I pulled up at the lights the thermos fan would come on. I think I would have needed to fit a bigger alternator as I had to be careful in traffic the 2X 6v batteries didn't go flat with the thermos fan running . I even thought about running a compressor off the tail shaft .
    And that was only 4 years back .
