OCEAN POSSE & ARCHER POWER SOLUTIONS 12 VDC DEMO

AC pumps. Chris raised a question about power draw from the water pump, with the team noting the need for a dedicated 12-volt pump. Later in the meeting, the team introduced a new air conditioner system, King Fisher. They also discussed their current locations and upcoming plans, including a journey across the Pacific to Marcasis. DC Powered Marine Air Conditioner Upgrade Tom and Mark discussed the latest version of their marine air conditioner, which is fully DC powered and operates at 12 volts. They emphasized its features such as an all-plastic drain pan for condensation, a removable drain pan, and a number of features to enhance its efficiency. Tom noted that the system incorporates an electronic expansion valve and a variable speed, fully DC powered compressor for optimization and efficiency. They also highlighted the unit's serviceability and its compact electronics box with two to four connections, DC power, and a fully adjustable blower port. The new version of the system aims to run without generators or backup power other than a solar system, reducing power load on the battery bank and extending run times. Archer then discussed the unit's design and efficiency, emphasizing its ability to cool specific areas on a boat, and demonstrated the unit's user interface. Variable Speed Compressor and New Fan Unit Discussion Archer discussed the benefits of a variable speed compressor for energy efficiency. He demonstrated its usage, highlighting its ability to maintain a 20-25 degree Fahrenheit difference between incoming seawater temperature and the air coming out. Archer also introduced a new fan unit with three speed levels and a sleep timer function. He clarified that the unit's cooling and humidity removal capabilities depend on the volume of air it needs to cool. Chad raised concerns about the unit's installation and performance, suggesting potential improvements for future models. The conversation ended with an open invitation for further questions via email or phone.
