FINALLY! The Holy Grail - Air Conditioning off Batteries on our Sailboat
Рет қаралды 333,156
2 жыл бұрынOur first attempt at running air conditioning off of our batteries didn't work so well, but this unit from Mabru is so efficient that we can run the AC all night long off of our lithium batteries. This week we show the installation on Clarity and compare the watts, BTUs and efficiency of the two units, side by side.

Love your videos- great job detailing the switch to a 12V HVAC system. We just finished installing a 16K BTU Marinair in our 34’ Fountaine Pajot power cat. Very pleased compared to the old Mermaid air I had. Features of the Marinair unit are similar to the Mabru (except runs on 110V AC). It has variable speed fan and auto setting. Also has humidity sensor. Cools the whole boat pretty fast. Price was $1900. Hard to beat that. We dont have solar. So we use a Honda 2K generator when on the hook. Not quite as nice as solar/Li battery set up. We have 4 100 amp AGM batteries - not enough to push the Marinair. We do mostly coastal cruising around Florida so system set up works for us for now. Maybe someday we finally go for solar/Li.

Actually, the modern day DC to DC converter or DC to AC inverter are both very power efficient from 95~98%. There are very little power loss during voltage conversion. The main reason that the new Mabru unit is much power efficient than your old unit is because it use variable frequency drive motor, so instead on/off, it basically just slow down. If you can fit the household AC (VFD type) on your boat, it will be quite efficient as well :)

I'll never be able to afford one of the batteries shown near the start of this video, much less a boat to put it in, so why am I watching this video about replacing an expensive boat AC unit with an even more expensive AC (and 2 gauge copper runs, no less. Seriously, 2 gauge!) ? Well, aside from me being odd, it's because you two are always so cute together and seem so genuine and approachable. I guess it's the same reason people root for the underdog to prevail in sports, because where there are winners and losers you at least hope those that win are good people deserving of the win.

Great video. I did notice in the video you appeared to be recording the BTUs from very different locations. The old unit you seemed to be measuring 4 to 6 inches away from an exhaust. For the new unit it was being measured inside a sealed duct directly at the AC unit. But in the end if the power draw is lower and its sufficiently cooling your space, that's all that really matters.

In 2010, my new semi tractor came with an A/C unit hard-wired into a 'house set' of 4 batteries, the old tech, wet-cell type. They would run that a/c 10 hours, enough for a truck driver's required rest, meaning that in places like California, with their 'no-idling' law, the truck engine didn't have to run to power the main a/c. That little unit in the sleeper worked great and so my biggest reason for not wanting to go on the California runs went away. Almost forgot: the company supplying those a/c units was 'D/C Cool'.
@mogmogman5476 2 жыл бұрын
Also, your AC unit did not require marine water to be pumped up into the condenser intercooler which wastes more battery power. For less than 1/50th of the cost for the sail boat, we use wet cell batteries, a 24 VDC battery system and a single high efficiency inverter for our 5k btu AC unit that cost us $100. By the way our boat anchors in water so shallow that a water intercooler cannot be used.

I got into air conditioning and refrigeration in 1961, and over the years I have a lot of questions about the subject. A water cooled heat pump does not have to be defrosted so it is the most effcient while heating. Look up the Tesla valve; it so simple with no moving parts to wear out, and he got the design in a dream from God. The pride, and joy of his work was the Tesla turbine. If a Tesla turbine/pump pumped water vapor it would be the most efficent a/c in the world. Big brother doesn't want us to know that water is the best refrigerant there is for a/c systems. The higher amout of latent heat of evaporation in b.t.u. the more efficient. Water at 970.4 btu per pound wins the race. The head pressure of a/c systems is about 200 pounds. Water is 14.7 psi. Which would draw the most amps? In a lithium bromide absorbtion system the temperture is 40 degrees F water is the refrigerant. Just marry the Tesla pump to it.

I designed and built my own true DC air conditioner. I just finished the preliminary testing and I’m very excited to get this unit in our Bristol . The unit measured 10000 BTU at 21 amps at 12v at 60 degree water temp, it went up to 24 amps at 74 degree water temperature . I was hopping for 6000 BTU but it was higher then expected . It’s a totally different design as I didn’t like anything on the market and I want to run this unit off our batteries . It is truly 12v no inverter needed . It uses a variable speed compressor at full speed it did 14000btu while drawing only 36 amps at 12v . I tuned the system to be more efficient at low speed but if I tuned it for max speed I’m sure I could squeeze more BTUs of of it at less power.

@@TheOKellys Thank you , yes that includes a dc feed water condensing pump , I used a small mag drive unit that only takes an amp at 12v . Over sized the condenser so the unit doesn’t need as much flow . Also I’m using a TXV and a few other tricks in the design to keep compressor temperatures down . I did make a little video of my first design but I totally changed that on the final build to get the results that I did .O yes and the Masterflux compressor is multi speed . But I tune the system to be most efficient at a certain refrigerant flow rate with the TXV . "the sweet spot" I don't change the fan speed I just close the vent to slow the air flow which drops the amps that the fan takes . The fan is also over sized. The unit is completely enclosed so you do not see any of the components , this has the advantage of making the unit whisper quite you cant hear it run other then the air coming out of the vents.

Thanks for this video, i m designing off grid power systems for my house and RV. Firstly i am an aircraft electrician so I carefully calculate before building. 12 VOLT DC maybe better than 110 VOLT AC, BUT.... 24 VOLT DC is even better, its half the amps and therefore half the size of power cable required. My batteries I built myself from 6 old Toyota Prius/CamryHybrid NiMh batteries, This is around 200 CELLS in 12 CELL BLOCKS at 25 VOLTS, eg 600 WATT HOUR per 12 CELLS. Thats 16 BLOCKS that weight 10 KGS each for a total of 10 KWH and 150 KGS. Caveat is charging NiMh batteries required a custom designed microprocessor charging system that I also had to design myself as NiMH cells require delta temp/temp charging cutoff. eg temp rise of 2 degress per min. Here in Australia I have trouble sourcing hybrid batteries and cells, but in the USA there is an abundance of secondhand cellsl (i forgot to mention I conditiion all my cells first to have usually 110% to 120% min capacity, not expensive as i use radio control model type chargers). Most people dont understand that other than weight lithium batteries are NOT the best choice. Put it this way, ALL satellites in space use NiMh type cells and batteries, with minimum life expectancy of 25 years. NiMh can discharge to ZERO volts and recover and DONT blow up or catch fire. I paid about $300 USD total for my 6 hybrid batteries, that give me 10 KWH. Just thought this might be a cost effective marine solution for any technical boat owners out there. Let me know if you want more information OZ

We are in New Zealand at the moment cruising on our Leopard 48 and there is not enough solar power (sun) in this country to be without the generator compared to sunny tropical areas. One has to consider future cruising locations for the vessel when making such decisions. Even with good lithium, if one takes the power out you have to still get the power back in to the batteries.

Really enjoy your vids. Tons of info. Thanks. My wife and I have always dreamed of life on a sailboat. Before we jump all in we would love to spend some time with someone on the water for a week at least to get a hands on experience. Do you know of anyone you could recommend that charters in the carribean.

Great Video on the 7k btu Mabru Unit! Just wondering how the unit performs in warmer testing conditions (like 28 degrees Celsius water and 35 air temperature) in terms of btu output and power consumption? Do the 28ah include the water pump?
