INTRO

A familiar picture in parking areas: truck drivers leaving the engine running for hours to use the air conditioner or to recharge the batteries during their resting periods. This is bad for the environment, and it’s also against the law. Tons of fuel are wasted, and fleet operators pay dearly for it, plus the wear and tear on the engine. A parking cooler, 12v air conditioner, rv air conditioner keeps operating costs down. Equally important to fleet owners is the fact that it improves work safety and thus ensures that the driver and freight arrive safe and sound.

12V TRUCK AIR CONDITIONER

The air temperature experienced by the human body may be different from the actual measured air temperature. Our thermal sensation ranges from warm or hot to comfortable or cold. We all want a comfortable climate to enjoy, and humidity plays a decisive role. When humidity is low, we can tolerate hot air temperatures even if we sweat. Dry heat causes sweat to evaporate quickly from the skin, producing a similar effect. However, when this happens in humid climates, when humidity is high, transpiration is lifted and the disruption effect may also be lifted. As a result, we feel hotter. The air feels warm and dry and watery, which can lead to circulatory diseases and decreases.

 

Knowing all this, a good 12v air conditioner device should do about as well. Alone is not enough; You also need to reduce humidity to get a comfortable climate.

SPLIT PARKING COOLER FOR TRICKY INSTALLATION CONDITIONS

The alternative for cabins with roof spoilers and other “special cases”. With our well proven split system, the powerful compressor unit teams up with a separate evaporator unit to be fitted inside the cabin or on the roof.

THE TASK OF A TRUCK PARKING COOLER

Relaxed drivers are safer drivers who are less likely to be involved in accidents. This is one of the reasons why the laws on resting periods for truck drivers are so strict. But what are the conditions drivers need to rest in complete comfort? The temperature range we perceive as comfortable is not really that wide, as the illustration above shows. Temperatures up to 26 °C are only felt as pleasant when humidity is low. When the air is damp, the thermometer should not exceed 20 °C. We feel more comfortable when the room temperature is between 18 °C and 22 °C and the humidity between 40 and 70 %. To create these conditions in a truck cabin the air must be cooled down and dehumidified at the same time. This calls for a compressor powered air conditioner. A/C systems based on direct or indirect evaporation cooling are less effective.

LOW MAINTENANCE COSTS

The engines of trucks fitted with a parking cooler require less maintenance. This is simply because drivers are less likely to have them run idle to operate the A/C system in their resting periods. The longer service intervals reduce the maintenance costs for fleet operators. Speaking of maintenance costs … self-contained ColdKing air conditioners are virtually maintenance-free. All components are integrated in a compact housing. The A/C circuit is closed and hermetically tight. No need to fill up with refrigerant.

COLDKING CUTS OPERATING COSTS

Here’s what the air conditioner generation does for fleet operators:

A ColdKing truck parking air conditioner keeps operating costs down. Especially so if it has such an amazingly long running time like the YCT-6502. Our sample calculation shows how much money can be saved if the engine is not running during resting periods to keep the cabin cool. And the protection against wear and tear of the engine is not taken into account …

 

Fleet operators also appreciate the benefits in terms of road safety. Resting periods in a quiet and pleasantly cool cabin let drivers continue the journey with full concentration and avoid accidents. Last but not least, fitting a truck with a parking cooler helps find qualified employees and keep them loyal to the company.
