What do you need the system to do?

Choose your vehicle or equipment.

01

EV conversions

When an engine-driven compressor is removed, check the retained evaporator, condenser and refrigeration circuit against the new electric compressor. Identify the A/C power supply separately from the vehicle traction supply.

02

Classic cars & hot rods

Start with available space, the desired cabin appearance and the existing heater or A/C box. A discreet cabin installation still needs effective condenser airflow, condensate drainage and access for servicing.

03

Custom & light commercial vehicles

Separate driver comfort from rear passenger or equipment spaces. Record the load and air distribution for each area, including use while parked.

questions

Common questions

Answers to common selection and installation questions.

Can I keep the original evaporator?

Possibly. Supply its identity, condition, refrigerant, connections and any available performance information. It must be assessed with the selected compressor, condenser, expansion device and controls.

Does an electric compressor make the system engine-off capable?

The compressor can operate independently of an engine pulley, but parked operation also depends on the electrical supply, condenser fans, controls and the required runtime.

Can I order a compressor before the rest of the system is defined?

Contact us to confirm standalone MD18 or MD24 supply and pricing. Identify the compressor version and matching system components before ordering.
