Truck Parking Cooler

A parking cooler(also known as roof air conditioner or parking air conditioner) is an addition to the existing air conditioning system of a truck. Parking coolers / roof air conditioners are used to keep the cabin of a truck at the right temperature when it standing still, for example on parking spaces. Standard air conditioners work separately from a truck's engine. This means that the engine does not have to run to use the parking cooler. Parking coolers run on the electrical system of a truck and on the truck's batteries. This saves a lot of fuel and is better for the environment.

Advantages of Truck Parking Cooler

Energy Efficiency
One of the key benefits of truck parking coolers is their energy efficiency. Unlike traditional car air conditioners that rely on the engine running, truck parking coolers operate on their own power source, often using electricity or solar energy. This reduces the load on the vehicle's engine and conserves fuel, leading to cost savings and environmental benefits.

Comfort and Convenience
Truck parking coolers provide instant relief from heat and humidity when you enter a parked vehicle. Whether you're running errands, waiting for someone, or taking a break during a road trip, having a cool interior enhances comfort and overall driving experience.

Health Benefits
Maintaining a comfortable temperature inside the vehicle is not just about comfort; it also contributes to your health and well-being. Excessive heat can lead to heat exhaustion, dehydration, and other health issues, especially for vulnerable individuals such as children, elderly, and pets. truck parking coolers help create a safer and healthier environment for everyone inside the vehicle.

Versatility
Truck parking coolers are versatile and can be installed in various types of vehicles, including cars, trucks, RVs, and boats. They are also suitable for different settings, such as parking lots, garages, campgrounds, and outdoor events, providing cooling wherever it's needed.

Reduced Engine Wear
Since truck parking coolers operate independently, they reduce the need for the vehicle's engine to run for cooling purposes while parked. This helps minimize wear and tear on the engine, extending its lifespan and improving overall vehicle maintenance.

Types of Truck Parking Cooler

The Roof Parking Coolers
These are two separate units; one is placed on the roof of the cab and the other is placed inside the cab. They are connected by a cooling pipe.

The Back Or Rear Wall Parking Coolers
The back or rear wall air conditioner is attached to the outside or inside of the rear wall of the cab. This is a good solution for cabs that are very high or for cabs where height limitations must be taken into account during installation.

The Hatch Or Roof Hatch Parking Coolers
This standard parking cooler is installed entirely without pipes, welding or drilling on the opening of your truck's roof hatch.

How does a Truck Parking Cooler work?

It is important to note that a parking cooler is a supplement to a truck's air-conditioning system. To get the most out of the parking cooler, the cabin must be brought up to the right temperature beforehand.

Do you want to sleep at a temperature of 21 degrees? Make sure that the cabin temperature is about 21 degrees before turning off the truck's air conditioning. As soon as the air conditioner is turned off, turn on the parking cooler. The function of a parking cooler is to maintain the temperature. It is not possible for the parking cooler to cool the cabin any further; they are simply not powerful enough for that.

A parking cooler draws the warm air from the cabin and expels it outside. It then draws in outside air and brings it up to the right temperature before blowing it back into the cabin.

A parking coolers always operates separately from the truck combustion engine. This means that the engine does not have to keep running when the vehicle is stationary. Parking coolers work entirely electrically on the truck's batteries.

Using a parking cooler instead of the traditional air conditioning system (with the engine idling) saves 264 litres of diesel a month!

Precautions for the Use of Truck Parking Coolers

01/

The air outlet of the truck parking cooler is recommended to be upward, and the direction of the air outlet of the air conditioner should not be adjusted arbitrarily. The correct way is to turn on the air outlet when the air conditioner is turned on, because the cold air will sink, which will increase the cooling effect.

02/

Do not use the air conditioner for too long. If the air conditioner is on for a long time, it will increase the load of the refrigeration system, which is not good for health. You can turn it off first and turn it on again after a while. picture

03/

Don't sleep in a closed car with the air conditioner on. Due to poor ventilation in the car, carbon monoxide discharged from the engine may seep into the car, which may cause carbon monoxide poisoning.

04/

Ventilate first and then turn on the air conditioner. Before driving in summer, ventilate and cool down before turning on the internal circulation air conditioner, and pay attention to alternately using internal and external circulation to allow fresh air to enter the compartment.

05/

Start the engine first and then turn on the air conditioner. It is also necessary to develop a good habit of running the engine before turning on the air conditioner before driving, and turning off the air conditioner before turning off the engine when parking.

06/

Do not smoke in an air-conditioned car. Big brother who smokes must pay attention~ When the doors and windows are closed, the smoke cannot be discharged, which will irritate the eyes and respiratory system. If it cannot be controlled, adjust the air conditioning ventilation control to the discharge position.

4 Misread in Use of Truck Parking Cooler

The lower the set temperature, the faster the cooling speed

This is a big misunderstanding, especially for inverter air conditioners. The refrigerating capacity of AC is variable, and it's also related to the set temperature. But when the set temperature is lower 2~3 ℃ than room temperature, air conditioner will operate at the highest load, and the air conditioning operation mode will no longer change. The ultimate goal of usage is to reduce and maintain the appropriate temperature in the cab. So the correct set temperature for the air conditioner should be the temperature at which you feel most comfortable (24 ~ 26 ℃). Setting the appropriate temperature for parking AC is more conducive to prolonging the use time of the air conditioner.

Set the AC air outlet volume to minimize, so that the air outlet temperature is the lowest and the air conditioner cooling is faster

This setting will result in: when the ambient temperature is relatively high, the temperature in the cab will cool down more slowly or even with no drop. Although the air volume is adjusted to minimize, the outlet temperature will be lower, but the air volume will be reduced at the same time. Cooling capacity of air conditioner = air volume X (interior temperature – outlet temperature) X a constant coefficient.
From this formula, we can know: the air volume is a very important parameter that affects the cooling capacity of the air conditioner.
To make it simple, the cooling capacity of the maximum air volume may be more than 2 times that of the minimum air volume!
In this way, do you think the maximum wind temperature drop is slower than the minimum wind temperature?

The lower the AC outlet temperature, the better the AC cooling effect

This is a standard for most users to judge whether the air conditioner is good or bad, but it's wrong. When you detect the outlet temperature of your air conditioner is lower than 5 ℃, you may buy substandard air conditioning products. Because such air conditioners will bring lots of problems, resulting in product failures. But how much degree is the air outlet temperature of the air conditioner indeed? For a truck parking cooler, the air outlet temperature should be 8~12 ℃ lower than the interior temperature of the cab. Remember that the comparison of cooling effect of air conditioner is based on the formula: air volume X (interior temperature – air outlet temperature ) as the final judgment standard. When the outlet air temperature of an excellent parking AC is lower than a certain temperature value, it will automatically protect the system to ensure the long-term and reliable operation of your air conditioner.

The top integrated parking AC needn't add refrigerant, and needn't maintain at ordinary times as well

Top integrated parking AC is more reliable than split AC, which can reduce a lot of repairs, but it still has to do certain maintenance. After summer's operation, you should open the top cover and the return cover to clean the AC drainage channel. Otherwise, it may overflow from the air outlet and other places because of dust blockage in the coming year. Clean up the garbage on the surface of the two heat exchangers, with water or a brush, to ensure its performance won't decline for a long time. Electrical connection terminal inspection: each terminal carries out dust removal, rust removal, and maintenance to ensure safe and reliable electrical connection.

How to Properly Use a Truck Parking Cooler?

Installation Before Using A Truck Parking Cooler

Professional Installation: Make sure the truck parking cooler is installed by a professional. Proper installation is crucial for optimal performance and safety.
Placement: Depending on the type (split or integrated), ensure it's placed correctly for maximum efficiency.

Power Supply of a Truck Parking Cooler

Battery: Truck parking coolers usually run on the vehicle's battery. Ensure the battery is in good condition and fully charged.

Solar Panels: Some systems can connect to solar panels for extra power, reducing the load on the battery.
External Power: If available, use an external power source, especially for long periods, like an extra generator.

Operation Notes When Using A Truck Parking Cooler

Pre-Cooling: Before parking, run the vehicle's main air conditioner for about 30 minutes to cool down the cabin. Then start the truck parking cooler for better results.
Settings: Adjust the temperature and fan speed. Start with a lower temperature and higher fan speed for quick cooling, then adjust to a comfortable level. During hot days, avoid using ECO mode as it affects cooling performance; ECO mode is better for nighttime use.
Timer: Use the timer function (if available) to automatically turn off the air conditioner after a set period.

Usage Tips For Truck Parking Coolers

Doors and Windows: Ensure all doors and windows are closed and sealed properly to prevent cold air from escaping.
Shade: Park in a shaded area if possible and use sunshades to improve cooling efficiency.

Ultimate FAQ Guide to Truck Parking Cooler

Q: What is a truck parking cooler?

A: Parking coolers / roof air conditioners are used to keep the cabin of a truck at the right temperature when it standing still, for example on parking spaces. Standard air conditioners work separately from a truck's engine.

Q: How do I keep my truck cooler?

A: A parking cooler works independently of the truck's engine. This allows you to keep the truck cool during loading and unloading or during rest periods. A parking cooler has a cooling capacity of between 800 and 1000 watts. Because the parking cooler does not use the engine, you save fuel and limit CO2 emissions.

Q: Why is truck parking important?

A: Truck parking is necessary for drivers to be able to take hours of service breaks. An inadequate supply of truck parking spaces can result in negative consequences. Tired truck drivers may continue to drive because they have difficulty finding a place to park for rest.

Q: What are the different types of car coolers?

A: Air Cooling System. In this form of cooling, heated air is dispersed into the atmosphere. Any amount of heat reflected by the parts of the engine is dissipated in air.
Water Cooling System. The most commonly used cooling system reduces heat using water circulation.

Q: What is cooler interlock?

A: An interlock is a control that is wired so that when there is no demand for heating / cooling in a space, the heating / cooling generator and the associated pumps are switched off. Use of thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) alone does not provide interlock.

Q: What is the function of the parking heater?

A: These devices are designed to provide heat to the interior air and the engine of a vehicle when the engine is not running, making them particularly suitable for heating cabins and engines in cold environments.

Q: Are portable air conditioners effective?

A: Yes, absolutely. Portable air cons can work well for cooling single rooms or as a supplementary cooling tool alongside an HVAC system. They typically sit on the floor and are quick to set up. Most models also have wheels so you can move them to different rooms, making them a handy alternative to fixed air conditioning units.

Q: Do portable air cons use a lot of electricity?

A: If you only want to cool a small confined space such as a small single room, portable air conditioners may be an energy-efficient option. As they only cool the immediate space required, they can be more efficient than a centrally installed air conditioning system if only one or two rooms were being occupied while it was on.

Q: Can a portable air conditioner be used as a dehumidifier?

A: Yes. Modern air conditioning systems use evaporator coils, which cause moisture to condense and leave the air inside your house. As moist, hot air contacts the cold coil, water collects on the coils and gets moved outside as the cooled air is pushed into the room. While a portable air conditioner may not extract humidity as quickly as a dehumidifier, the process of cooling a room automatically has a dehumidifying effect.

Q: Do portable air conditioners need to be vented?

A: Portable air conditioners are self-contained and don't require a permanent installation. However, they do require venting via a window, wall or doorway. Once you've positioned the portable air conditioner where you like it, you must set the exhaust hose through an opening to the outside so that it can vent hot air out of the space. Having vents trailing across the floor can be cumbersome and unattractive, often why portable units are not as popular as fixed solutions.

Q: What is a coil cooler?

A: Cooling coils and assemblies are essential components in many industrial processes, HVAC systems, and refrigeration units. These components help to regulate temperature and maintain stable operating conditions, which play a key part in the efficiency, performance, and quality of critical systems.

Q: Can you use a parking heater while driving?

A: Yes, you can run the parking heater while driving. It draws fuel from the same fuel tank as the van, but is independent from the engine heater.

Q: Are diesel parking heaters safe?

A: Diesel heaters are widely used and considered to be very safe. They include an auto-shutdown if the system temperature exceeds a safe operating level, the same as LPG heaters. Where diesel heaters provide extra safety is in regards to combustion and inhalation.

Q: What is a truck night heater?

A: They ignite diesel using a glow plug. The inlet and exhaust for this are outside the cab. They then use a heat exchanger to heat air which is introduced and expelled inside the cab. It's fine to use them while the vehicle is in motion.

Q: How does a night heater work in a truck?

A: The inhaled fresh air is heated to hot air through the heat exchanger by the energy from the burning fuel, then blow to where you need it within the vehicle. The night heater has the advantage of compact structure, lightweight, high thermal efficiency, economization of electricity and fuel, and easy installation.

Q: What is the difference between auxiliary heater and parking heater?

A: If your vehicle comes equipped with a fuel operated heater, there are two features for this device: Auxiliary heater: improves the heating time of your engine while running. Parking heater: provides heat while your vehicle is parked.

Q: Can you leave night heater on all night?

A: Electric heaters of any type are unsafe to leave running overnight because they carry a significant amount of risk. If a space heater falls over or becomes too hot from running for too long of a period of time, that can lead to a fast-moving fire that occurs while you are asleep and cannot act fast enough.
