Abstract
A system for an attachment to existing A/C units in vehicles including a compressor assembly and a battery assembly is disclosed herein. The compressor assembly includes a hermetically sealed compressor that can be engaged without the need of the engine of a vehicle. The hermetically sealed compressor is powered by a battery of the battery assembly. The hermetically sealed compressor is mounted as an attachment or replacement to the existing A/C compressor of a vehicle. Furthermore, the hermetically sealed compressor is mounted using tee connectors and tubes. Additionally, check valves are added to allow the refrigerant within the additional tubes to flow in one direction. This system allows a user to engage the A/C unit of a car without needing the engine to be running.
Claims11
An A/C attachment system, comprising:
- a. a compressor assembly, including a compressor having a first tube and a second tube attached thereon, wherein said compressor is a hermetically sealed compressor, said compressor is a scroll type compressor, said compressor is an additional attachment for an existing compressor of a vehicle, said compressor uses fasteners and welding to be mounted to said vehicle, wherein said first tube and said second tube are connected to an existing A/C system of said vehicle using tee connectors, wherein said first tube and said second tube include check valves, said check valves allows refrigerant within said first tube and said second tube to flow in one direction, the second tube operatively connects the compressor with a condenser coil of said existing A/C system, the compressor is operatively connected between an accumulator and said condenser coil, one of said check valves is operatively connected between said condenser and said condenser coil;
- and
- b. a battery assembly, including an inverter wherein said inverter provides a suitable voltage to said compressor, wherein said inverter is communicably attached to an existing battery within said vehicle.
An A/C attachment system, comprising:
- a. a compressor assembly, including a compressor having a first tube and a second tube attached thereon, wherein said compressor is a hermetically sealed compressor, said compressor being a scroll type compressor, said compressor is an additional attachment for an existing compressor of a vehicle, said compressor uses fasteners and welding to be mounted to said vehicle, wherein said first tube and second tube are connected to an existing A/C system of a vehicle using tee connectors, wherein said first tube is attached to an existing suction line of said existing A/C system of a vehicle using one of said tee connectors, wherein said second tube is attached to said existing vapor line of said A/C system of a vehicle using one of said tee connectors, wherein said first tube and said second tube include check valves, wherein said check valves allow refrigerant within said first tube and said second tube to flow in one direction;
- and
- b. a battery assembly, including an inverter wherein said inverter provides the necessary voltage to power said compressor, wherein said inverter is attached to an existing battery of said vehicle.
An A/C attachment system, consisting of:
- a. a compressor assembly, including a compressor having a first tube and a second tube attached thereon, wherein said compressor is a hermetically sealed compressor, said compressor being a scroll type compressor, said compressor is an additional attachment for an existing compressor of a vehicle, said compressor uses fasteners and welding to be mounted to said vehicle, wherein said first tube and second tube are connected to an existing A/C system of a vehicle using tee connectors, wherein said first tube is attached to an existing suction line of said existing A/C system of a vehicle using one of said tee connectors, said existing suction line is connected to an accumulator of said existing A/C system of said vehicle, wherein said second tube is attached to said existing vapor line of said A/C system of said vehicle using an additional tee connector of said tee connectors, said existing vapor line is connected to said existing compressor of said existing A/C system of said vehicle, wherein said first tube and said second tube include check valves, wherein said check valves allow refrigerant within said first tube and said second tube to flow in one direction, one of said check valves is mounted onto said existing vapor line of said existing A/C system of said vehicle, an additional check valve of said check valves is mounted onto said second tube, the second tube operatively connects the compressor with a condenser coil of said existing A/C system, the compressor is operatively connected between an accumulator and said condenser coil, one of said check valves is operatively connected between said condenser and said condenser coil;
- and
- b. a battery assembly, including an inverter wherein said inverter provides the necessary voltage to power said compressor, wherein said inverter is attached to an existing battery of said vehicle.
