Modular air conditioning system (ACU) to supply 13kW cooling to ensure a cabin temperature of 23 – 26°C max in a 55°C ambient, provided the vehicle is thermally insulated.

8kW heating is integrated into the aircon evaporator coils and connected to the vehicle engine hot water as a heat source.

The aircon is a dual evaporator with engine mounted condenser configuration, with a single 313cc compressor which is belt driven from the vehicle engine.

The 70 litre chiller cools drinking water for vehicle occupants and is dispensed directly inside the vehicle by means of a small electric pump & water tap.

The aircon unit is equipped with custom designed electronic controllers, capable of all control and safety functions. The controller activates subsystems as required to regulate the cabin temperature to the desired setting on the control panel (HMI). The system has a Bluetooth login interface for remote monitoring via a smartphone app and/or laptop for maintenance and fault finding as well as a CAN Bus interface which is connected to the vehicle’s maintenance bus.
