Product details

The Rencool DRK8-24 is a high-output 24 V electric compressor drive for demanding mobile, off-grid and industrial air-conditioning systems. Its 2 kW brushless drive and 120 cm³ compressor support system designs up to 8.01 kW cooling duty without an engine-driven compressor.

High-output electric compressor platform for heavy-duty DC HVAC projects.

Brushless 24 V drive provides speed control without belts or engine accessory loading.

Compact drive assembly gives system builders freedom to position the evaporator and condenser around the machine.

Why specify the DRK8-24

Use the DRK8-24 when a conventional belt-driven compressor is impractical or when cooling must continue independently of engine speed. It is a system component for engineered split air-conditioning installations and can be paired with appropriately sized heat exchangers, controls and protection devices.

Common applications

  • Mining, construction and agricultural machinery cabins
  • Electric, hybrid and anti-idle vehicle HVAC
  • Mobile command, communications and equipment shelters
  • Marine, rail and specialist transport projects
  • Custom industrial enclosures and high-heat-load cabins
