How do you run an air conditioner from the batteries in a van for hours?
Paul approached us to assist with setting up his mobile office in the back of his Mercedes Sprinter. The requirements were to run a roof top air conditioner that would keep the entire rig cool throughout a full working day, giving him the ability to effectively run his business while he was on site or in between jobs. Powering an air conditioner is no small job so a specialized solution was required.
The power solution was this…
The complete independent power for mobile office solution included:
- Dometic Ibis 4 Inverter Air Conditioner
- MaxxAir Fan 12 volt automatic opening roof hatch
- 3 Solar panels
- Enerdrive Lithium battery which packs the maximum power into the smallest and lightest package
- 2 x DC Chargers
- 3000 Watt inverter to run the air conditioner, laptop and other appliances
- Power monitor display
- Additional system cooling fans
- External power point to power tools and equipment on site
- Automatic loading ladder rack
- Interior work lights
- Exterior work lights
- UHF radio
The resulting system has succeeded in fulfilling Paul’s requirements for a mobile office and a system that allows the Dometic air conditioner to run through the day without requiring to be plugged into mains power. Paul can run his business from anywhere in comfort.
