Use Case & Customer Feedback – Micro DC Aircon

 

Power Distribution Box - dc aircon air cooling

  • Project: Power Distribution Box / Cabinet
  • Cooling Approach: Active Air Cooling
  • Demand: A company that specializes in outdoor distribution boxes in Saudi Arabia is looking for a battery-powered, variable-frequency direct current (DC) portable air conditioning unit. This micro dc aircon unit is intended to cool down the distribution box and maintain a temperature of around 20 degrees Celsius, even in high ambient temperatures reaching up to 60 degrees Celsius.
  • Recommended product: 2.8cc Twin Cylinder Micro DC Aircon

 

Performance – Micro DC Aircon:

The portable air conditioning unit provides powerful cooling performance, fully meeting the customer’s requirements and achieving temperature reduction in the distribution box. Additionally, this unit, equipped with a dual-cylinder compressor, is highly resistant to high temperatures. It can operate reliably and steadily even in outdoor environments with high ambient temperatures.

Q&A of Twin Cylinder Micro DC Aircon

1. The Saudi Arabia customer is inquiring whether this portable air conditioning unit comes with a ducted hose for air ventilation. The answer is YES. The RIGID company also provides the inlet and outlet hoses of portable aircon units.

Following are the hose diameters:

*Inlet

  • Internal diameter:38mm
  • External diameter:42mm

*Outlet

  • Internal diameter: 35mm
  • External diameter:38mm

2. The customer wants to know if it is acceptable to use a single-turn 50kohm potentiometer for compressor control by fitting a remote control with a potentiometer. The answer is, that it is not suitable, but we suggests alternatives such as PWM Speed Control, 0-5V Speed Control, or TTL communication port. The RIGID company recommends four options for speed control in an attached document.

4 Ways for SPEED CONTROL

3. The customer mentions that the potentiometer was set to approximately 8 Amps, and when they adjusted it, the maximum DC current reached 16 Amps. They expected it to reach 25 Amps or 300W. RIGID company advises using a multimeter to measure the resistance of the potentiometer within the range of 5kΩ to 30kΩ, with the factory default setting being 23kΩ.

The reason is that the compressor stops working when the resistance is 50kΩ and provide a speed test formula based on resistance. The running the compressor above 5500rpm is possible but may result in increased noise and higher working current, without causing harm to the compressor.

Compressor speed = 6000-134 x R (kΩ) ( 1901/1902)

 

4. The customer experiences noisy vibration from the compressor when the power exceeds 10 amps. They inquire if this is normal and ask for suggestions to reduce the noise. The answer is, that it is normal to have noisy vibration above 10A power and advises keeping the compressor speed between 3000 and 3500rpm to minimize the noise.
