Re: 12 Volt Auto AC unit Custom Hookup

How about a hook up where I run a 12 volt motor on a pully to a ac compressor ?? Do you guys think that might work and what type of HP do you think an AC compressor for a car takes? I know i asked this in the last post but I am starting to hear from Garages that 3hp is a bit much to run an AC pump.....

Re: 12 Volt Auto AC unit Custom Hookup

Gotcha. I am trying so hard to come up with something outside of a ICE chest with fan in it that would work for like 1 hour. I can put a bank of 4 batteries in the truck if needed. I can't really do a generator as I do not want to have to worry about Carbon Monoxide or noise disturbing people so. I ...

Heck I wonder if something like that might even work. I am looking for something I can Implement for under $500. Not...

12 Volt Auto AC unit Custom Hookup

I am trying to build a custom setup for AC in a truck sleeper berth. I want to use a 12 VOLT motor to turn an AUTO ac compressor. I figured a 3HP motor would work to do this. Any ideas on how long this motor would run on a Deep Cycle Marine battery under load from the compressor? Thank you
