[PSUBS-MAILIST] Air conditioner

[Joe Perkel]

Here's a 12VDC unit<br/><br/>http://www.tropicalmarineairconditioning.com/sheets/2425C.pdf<br/><br/>This one is dedicated DC, ..but I think running a similar sized AC unit off an inverter for dual power source options is worth considering. Powering the unit on the surface as I described in an earlier post. I don't propose diving with the unit running, but more so a pre and post mission environmental purge, particularly with the main goal of aggressively dehumidifying the cabin.<br/><br/>No space in these boats as you note, this requires upsizing accordingly, but carefully. I once calculated the volume of a sacrificed conning tower could be substituted for 48" and a shortened length for nearly the same weight, I forget the numbers for the moment.<br/><br/>These compact AC units can be plumbed as I described earlier, the heat exchanger would have to be purposely designed. The outflow water of these units is pretty damn hot, much much hotter than the
 surrounding water.<br/><br/>I live through Vance's camel torture story for about five minutes every time I climb into my white SUV. <br/><br/>If I'm ever to build and have a practical Florida submersible, I've got to be cognizant of these issues and address then carefully. <br/><br/>Joe<br/><br/><br/><br/>Sent from Yahoo!
