As summer approaches, discussions about parking air conditioners frequently arise among truck drivers. For those who drive medium to long distances, a parking air conditioner has become a necessity. A key issue when installing a parking air conditioner is the power supply. Generally, there are four options: the first is to draw power directly from the vehicle’s battery, the second is to replace the vehicle’s battery to power the air conditioner, the third is to install a generator, and the fourth is to install solar panels.
01
Drawing Power from the Vehicle’s Battery
Drawing power from the vehicle’s battery is the simplest installation method, allowing you to use the parking air conditioner for a short period.
02
Replacing the Battery Pack
Replacing the battery pack to power the air conditioner is another option. Currently, many drivers prefer lithium batteries because they have a longer lifespan, are more cost-effective, safer, and can be used in various extreme environments, from as low as -40°C to as high as 60°C, without any issues.
03
Installing a Generator
Installing a diesel generator to power the battery is another common approach. The advantage is that it ensures the air conditioner can run continuously for 24 hours, and the recharging process is quick.
04
Installing Solar Panels
This setup consists of solar panels, a converter, and a battery. It requires a separate solar panel to be installed on the roof of the vehicle. During use, it is more energy-efficient and has lower operating costs.
After reading this article, we believe you will have a better understanding of power options for parking air conditioners and will be able to choose the type that best suits your needs for installation.
