Install 12V DC Inverter Compressor

Practice of self-modified RV-air conditioner |

Pull rivet nuts on the frame and fix a bottom frame with screws.

Practice of self-modified RV-air conditioner |

A 12V DC frequency conversion dual-rotor compressor is hoisted on the bottom of the vehicle.

The reason for adopting the dual-rotor compressor is to take a fancy to its high energy efficiency ratio under the condition of small displacement, but compared with the scroll compressor, the constant discharge pressure requirement also increases the difficulty of setting the electronic expansion valve, and at the same time Its vibration is also higher than that of the scroll compressor, so a shock absorber has been remade in the later stage, and the one-dimensional shock absorption in the picture is changed to two-dimensional shock absorption, so that vibration and noise are well isolated.

Adjust the power of the air conditioner to meet 200Ah to work for 10 hours.

Practice of self-modified RV-air conditioner |

The air inlet temperature is 31°C.

Practice of self-modified RV-air conditioner |

The air outlet temperature is 18°C.

Practice of self-modified RV-air conditioner |

The operating current is 19.4A.

The air conditioning parameters are actually tested, and the cooling power and energy efficiency ratio are calculated using the enthalpy difference method.

The suction and exhaust temperatures and pressures, the inlet and outlet temperatures of the condenser and evaporator, and the compressor speed were measured respectively.

Since the inlet temperature of the condenser is the same as the exhaust temperature, and the difference between the outlet temperature of the evaporator and the temperature of the suction port is less than 0.1 degrees, the data t1/P1 and t2 of the four points of suction, exhaust, condenser outlet and evaporator inlet are taken /P2, t3 and t4, and P3=P2, P4=P1, h and V are the theoretical values ​​of R134a, the air delivery speed is calculated according to the compressor speed and displacement, and the refrigerating capacity is calculated by the enthalpy difference method and measured at the same time Power supply voltage, compressor current and fan current, calculate energy efficiency ratio.

The actual measurement of the parking air conditioner in the hot summer and high temperature night.

After more than half a year, we finally came to Shanghai, the hottest day this year. The temperature at night was still hovering around 35 or 6°C. The air conditioner in the room showed a (inlet) temperature of 31°C. It was a good day to check the parking air conditioner. After driving more than ten kilometers from the house, I came to the factory (Gege parked here). After turning on the parking air conditioner and sorting it out, I took pictures with my mobile phone and recorded as follows:

Practice of self-modified RV-air conditioner |

The starting battery voltage is 12.7V (forgot to take a photo, took a replacement).

Practice of self-modified RV-air conditioner |

The temperature inside the car is 24°C.

Practice of self-modified RV-air conditioner |

Air conditioner inlet air temperature is 26.9°C. (This is to use a ready-made temperature control shell and display screen to make a frequency conversion control panel by myself, and write the control code according to the data obtained from the previous debugging, so as to uniformly control the compressor, electronic expansion valve and fan)

Calculation of power consumption of air conditioner for one night

My car is not equipped with a coulomb meter, so I can’t calculate it accurately. I only know that when I turn it on at night, the voltage is 12.7V, and the inverter panel shows 84% ​​of the power. In the morning, the voltage is 11.4V, and the inverter shows 40%. According to this calculation, the power consumption is 280AH* (84%-40%)=280*44%=123.2AH, 12*123.2=1478WH, about 1.5 kilowatt-hours.
