Unique technology
Originally designed to make air conditioning powered by solar modules,
the units have been adapted for use in heavy duty applications running from batteries or grid power.
DC Airco products are designed to cool railway vehicles with only a fraction of the consumption of a normal AC unit. This system is extremely efficient and powerful.
Both compressor and fans are soft start, therefore no
extreme power surges during start-up.
Easy of installation
DC Airco is manufacturing rooftop, wall mount or split units.
The rooftop and wall mount units are packaged units fully charged and tested in the factory. The split units consist of a compact under frame
condenser/compressor unit and one or more indoor evaporator units which are
connected with self sealing couplings.
These connectors can be connected and disconnected many times.
All products have alarms for high temperature, low and high gas pressure.
Remote monitoring is available as a option.
