Help selecting a new compressor for a automotive split system
Hi,
I have a box truck with split air conditioner in the Box like you would find in transit buses. It consists of a ceiling mounted evaporator and skirt mounted condenser both made by ACT and the engine is running the compressor. What I would like to do is convert the system to use a 110V or ideally 12V compressor.
The system Consists of:
~20,000 BTU/hr compressor at 2k/rpm (Valeo TM15)
60,000 BTU/hr Condenser (ACT CS-2
60,000 BTU/hr Evaporator (ACT EZ5)
and the MFG advertised it was a 58k BTU system
Would it be possible to use a smaller compressor from a 20k BTU window unit or Dan Foss?
The other option may be to get a 2-4KW BLDC motor and hook it up to the existing compressor.
As an Electrical Engineer I am not sure where to start with this and would appreciate any advice.
Thank you,
Brian
