I'm converting a refer box truck into an rv and want to be able to run the ac unit, at least in short spurts, without needing the truck running to do so.
It has 2 compressors. One attached by belt to the engine and a second overhead that runs purely on 230vac.
If anyone has any experience in thermoking units and could tell me if I could swap the elec compressor motor above (no refrigerant lines run through it. Just a motor attached to a pully) with a 12 or 24vdc motor of equal rpm and pully size would it work just the same?
And either way would it be insane to power it via solar and batteries or even solar, batteries and inverter?
Any thoughts????
