12V DC "4000" Air Conditioner

Traditional RV air conditioners require either a generator, shore power, or a huge power-hogging inverter to produce the 120V AC power needed to start and run the system.

With a Nomadic Cooling Co Air Conditioner, all you need is a battery system! Nomadic Cooling units run effecienty and directly on 12V or 24V DC power, without the waste, cost, noise, and ineffeciency that comes from using AC-powered systems.

With a proper 12VDC battery system (not included,) a Nomadic Cooling Co unit can start and run for hours on stored battery power alone- no inverter needed! It can run while the vehicle is driving, drawing power from the batteries while charging they are charged by the vehicle's alternator! You can also use solar power to offset the use of A/C during the brightest, hottest hours of the day.

Why is a DC air system so effecient?

DC Motors

For starters, DC powered motors are more effecient than AC powered motors. The motor driving the refrigerant compressor is the most power-hungry part of any A/C system, consuming up to 95% of the unit's total power needs. The remaining 5% is consumed by several smaller fan motors and the control system.

No DC-AC Conversion Loss

Any time electricity is converted between DC and AC currents, there is a loss of electricty in the form of heat.

Inverters that change DC power to AC power can easily lose 10% of incoming current as heat: 1000 watts are needed for every 900 watts of usable power! That's valuable battery and solar capacity!

By using DC power to directly run DC motors, Nomadic Cooling Co's air conditioners are much more effecient than a system running AC motors or a system that internally converts (rectifies) AC power to DC power.

No Oversized (Ineffecient!) Inverter 

Traditional A/C units require a brief but massive surge of electricity to get their compressor motors started.

Inverters cannot store any extra energy. A 2000 watt inverter will not run a 2000 watt A/C system because the starting surge will easily exceed the 2000 watt maximum of the inverter. Therefore, the inverter needs to be powerful enough to handle the surge or the motor will not run. A large enough inverter will start the unit, but run far below maximum potential and effeciency at all other times.

Even when a standard A/C unit isn't running, the inverter supplying power will be consuming (wasting) energy in "standby" mode.

The larger the inverter, the higher the cost and the larger the loss!

* "Soft Start" devices are available to store surge energy, but these add to the cost and complexity of the system.

DC systems require no inverter and can draw unlimited starting watts from the battery bank!
