On the Government Liquidation there are 4 units that would make good drivers AC for 24 volt buses fwiw

good luck

Thanks

Clifford,

I saw those last night. If they weren't in the middle of Nowhere, California, I'd be bidding on them.

Hey Bob I can get them here and maybe in Jan I could get those headed you way with a little help from a snowbird I want 1 why I have no idea lol I hope Snowbird is not racist word

There are 60,000 people heading that way the last week of august, myself included.  I wonder how flexible they are about pickups.

Yes the fans run on 24vdc, but it is still an engine driven compressor. You need freon lines running the entire length of the bus-this is why I have three roof tops with the front most blowing on me.
There are 24vdc powered A/C's made that are popular in Europe. Good Luck, TomC

I was about to post and ask why there appeared to be a engine driven compressor with these.  Our government apparently paid almost $12,000 each for these.

I was thinking same thing when I saw pic of compressor.  I wonder if it could be run off an auxiliary gas/diesel engine.  These don't seem like a good deal now.  That said I will be driving down that way at the end of august.

Those don't use a engine driven compressor and long freon lines where did that come from ?,at Fort Hood they were driven with a hydraulic driven compressor with about 5 feet of freon lines, I am trying to find out if those are included in the kit from the manufacturer

     I was wondering if they were 24V compressor driven - like a Red Dot - then I saw the photo of what sure looks like an engine driven compressor in the kit (not the best pictures in the world, though).   Exactly WHAT are they???

[Oonrahnjay]

     And I guess a 24V compressor would work OK, but a typical dash-mounted AC unit is going to be in the 38-42K BTU range and you'd be pulling one jello of a lot of Amps through 24V wires to compress enough Freon for that.  If you're going to run an AC on electricity, wouldn't 120V make a lot more sense?
     I mean - you CAN put a railroad locomotive engine in a roller skate but you'd spend a lot of money and get a pretty bad roller skate when you were finished ...

Appears to be belt-driven, and there's actually a belt included in the box of bits too:
