A Prius compressor won't work.

Most of the hybrid cars use a 440V AC compressor powered from the main battery pack. I know this is true of the Prius. I found it out when I was researching 12v AC compressors.

I just read that, I was looking at RV systems and a couple on board electronics cooling systems, but the BTU's on the latter were 1/3 of what you are looking at but the wattage was around half. Wrong direction.

The title on the thread gave me a chuckle:

1. I am old enough to remember the K-mart days and the gal with the microphone and flashing blue light.

2. The coorelation now with Amazon and K-mart with the blue light.


Maybe Mark can start making them?

This is the underdash evaporator I'm having installed.

https://www.vintageair.com/custom/product-pop.php?pn=674005

It will operate with a Sanden SD7H13 compressor. The engine mount and pulley are supplied by Gilmore Enterprises. They may have something suitable for the -6 engine.

There's nothing free with an electric compressor. 850 watts is just over 1hp. That power comes from the engine as well...

I know it's not free. But it is much easier to run heavy gauge wire than to make a compressor mount for the 4 litre engine.

I also looked at aviation systems, they were light but pricey.

Not too effective in the Texas heat....... you just end up with hot water all over you.
