A Trusted Australian Family Business
We have been trusted to fit out heavy-duty trucks by Australia’s leading trucking companies for over 30 years. We have a deep understanding of the unique needs of truck owners and drivers, which led us to develop a lithium-powered truck air conditioning system tough enough to handle Australian conditions.
-
What is the typical battery life?Our LFP lithium batteries have a lifespan of up to 10 years if they are well looked after.
-
How long will the unit run for?This depends on the capacity of the battery solution, the conditions in which the unit is operated, the insulation of the truck and the size of the space it is trying to cool. On average the 5 kWh Lithium battery will run for 8 to 10 hours and the 6 kwh Lithium battery will run from 10 to 12 hours. Each of these can and frequently are doubled up for 16-24hrs of capacity (10kWh / 12kWh).
-
What is the cooling capacity of the Coolabah?The Joey, Dingo and Koala have variable speed compressors and can adjust their output from 500W to 2.4 KW depending on the conditions / temperature. The Kookaburra has 3.2KW of cooling capacity.
-
What is the heating capacity of the Coolabah?The Joey, Koala and Kookaburra have in-built heating. The Joey and Koala have 500 watts and the Kookaburra 750W of heating capacity. This should be more than enough to keep the sleeper cab warm during even the coldest Australian nights.
-
What maintenance is required to keep the unit working correctly?The only maintenance required is cleaning of the air intake filter on the evaporator (annual recommended) and washing out the condenser every so often depending on the operating conditions. It is recommended that the unit is serviced once every 2 to 3 years.
-
How do you operate the unit?The unit can be simply operated by pressing the ON button. It will automatically remember the last setting used. The easiest and most economical way to use the system is to simply have it set to AUTO mode.
-
At what temperature should I run the unit for maximum runtime?For best runtime results, set the temperature to 22 or 23 degrees celsius. The unit can be set to a minimum of 18 degrees. You can also help it along by closing the curtains and making sure that the space you are trying to cool is a small as possible.
