Running Air Conditioner with EcoFlow Delta 

The important thing is using a small AC. I have central air, but a 3000btu AC unit in my bedroom window that I can feed into a 2000 watt ecoflow with 2 300 watt portable solar panels...and I can use that to have ONE ROOM that will be cool enough to get some sleep when it's 100 degrees outside. Granted,, at night, i just have battery power BUT...without the compressor running the fan will run quite a while. Mind you, I have more than one ecoflow. 4 in fact. Plus a 2000 watt 3000 peak generator to charge if I need. Here's the thing about generators. You think...BIG. Nope, Think smaller wattage. Gasoline will be at a premium during an 'emergency'. Use a smaller generator, charge batteries when there is no solar available. You have to experiment with what you have and predict any situation and TEST TEST TEST. You don't want to be trying to 'figure it out' when you need it. Trust me. Been there. Not good. Actually go out there and cut your power off a few days and see how you're going to do this...Don't pull water from the tap. Actually TEST it in a simulation of a real life event and DON'T cheat. Cut your water and electricity off for a couple of days...and then 'deal with it. Yeah. Harder than you think. Power grid goes down ? Guess what, WATER will soon be down as well. You have...maybe 48 hours. If it looks like it's going to be a while, fill those bathtubs...to the top. Have a way to filter water. Military grade stuff. Have a small butane gasone stove to cook and heat water. ALL OF THIS 'SURVIVAL' STUFF, IS A LOT TRICKER THAN YOU THINK. Trust me, been there, done that. Real time. Not theoretical. You'd be surprised how quickly it can happen. One day, all is well. 3 days later your sitting in the dark with NO INTERNET...NO TV...NO HEAT, NO WATER...going...'wow I hope this ends soon.' And what you have in your house, is what you have. I could not get to my storage unit. Electricity was down. That electric gate or 'wifi' lock didn't work at the storage unit place. Nope. You have to envision EVERY scenario. And it can happen sooo easily and so quickly ...it blew my mind I'll tell you that.

@@satexman2585 i keep propane bottles and converted my eu30is to run on propane. I have 2 of them 14.2kg ones and it runs the eu30is at full load for 14hrs on each cylinder. And in my regular load i have 2days worth of backup if i live normally or if i go in conservative i can probably get a whole week on two cylinders.

@@satexman2585 Thanks for the suggestions... good info. I'm wondering where did you find a 3000 Btu window AC please? Ty!

@@uber2tuber I looked everywhere I can’t find 3k btu I think he meant 5k btu I guess.

@@satexman2585 There’s no such a thing as a 3000 BTU A/C unit. 5000 is the lowest.

Shade... the original A/C...

Don't waste time with 100w panels, use 200w minimum

The ecoflow requires at minimum 400 watts to charge properly.

Eco flow delta PRO

Buy few more power house. All problems solve

Yep, and the day when autonomous vehicles predominate will be the start of a different style of life. Utilities will be delivered via AV, allowing anywhere living which will include old homes with rotten underground infrastructure.

@Steve Paige I thought the controller on the Delta limits the input. I returned mine and bought a MPP Solar all in one and a couple batteries. Problem solved for me.

@Steve Paige could you please explain how and what mpp is? I'm electronically illiterate. I bought my 1300 and 100w solar for camping now, then eventually living nomadically.

Yeah what the fuck? My delta draws 131 watts from my tape machine, small mixer and pc. At fucking 50 degrees in the room it still overheats after 20 minutes. Piece of expensive shit.

@@johnvalencia9927 Your Delta doesn’t “draw” from your PC etc. It puts out the power that THEY draw from the Delta. And your PC alone can be around 100 watt draw..so 130 total for those items is kinda normal dude.

@@rono33 the laptop is my pc and it's like 30 watts. The wattage wasn't my concern, my concern was how that low wattage makes my delta overheat. Nice reading comprehension.

Well that depends on how much power it's using and how long it's on.

I totally agree. That would have been really useful. Obviously how often the compressor comes on is entirely dependent on the outside air temperature and the amount of thermal insulation the trailer has but that would have been the best way to test.

This is not an inverter ac so it wouldn't make any difference. At higher temperature the compressor would go on and off so it would be same thing just happening more frequently..

I want to know MAX not just barely not sweating or 2 hours only I want 24 hours continuously usage always a spot to go to for relaxing Comfort. Paid for by the Sun

Mine runs constantly here in Florida

How many Btus is it and high does it spike pls? ty! considering buying one for my van to power with solar/ecoflow.

No battery right?

I thank it will come with the unit when you get it if not it's just your average solar panel connector to an x t60 connector that's the yellow one you could wire up your own if you needed to as long as you made sure you had pos to pos and neg to neg or it will blow 😉 and you can get a pack of the x t60s on eBay or Amazon.

Did you get the 12v port sorted out? Which model pls? ty!

@@uber2tuber they repaired it, something got fried but working well again!

How much would that system cost aprox. with 200Ah lifepo4 battery, mppt and 2000W inverter? and all wiring too. Just roughly if you happen to know. ty!

@@uber2tuber just buying the 2 raw battery’s and a good 2000 sine wave inverter around $1000 to 1500 then add around $100 for a good lifepO4 charger . It’s best to charge them thru a generator the sun will take long time and u have to park in sun and boil. Lol

@@emiltv Thanks so much. I didn't know there is a lifepo4 charger... will a Predator 2000 charge them okay? ty!!

Frigidaire 6,000 BTU

That's my question too and what I was hoping to get from this video. I appreciate him addressing his questions re the generator, but that's not really what this video says lol.

No it's just user error because people turn it on and plug it into the 12v plug but you actually need to turn on the DC port and it won't do that.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

In comments above he says it's 6000 Btus.

Actually not that loud if you have the Honda 1000 watt with half a gallon i run my 5000 btu AC , 32 inch tv, small potable dc refrigerator, and computer for close to 6 or 7 hrs on eco mode . Of course my AC cycles on and off adjusting to temp I’ve done this for 7 yrs and Honda still keeps on ticking. A marvel of technology I did buy the Honda 2200 as backup and yes it’s much louder than small one but still acceptable when on echo mode. Now with these new batteries coming out Things get better turn on your generator and about less than 2 hrs u got your batt full nice ! And live off the batt till they need charge again! Solar still too much of a pain unless you are stationary in a land or house permanent and u can put bigger panels but for rv and on the go takes too long to charge big batt and then u have to bake in the sun lolol

How does a plug thermostat work pls? cost?

Those units suck! They only cool your face 😂

2000w is a nice all around size

Something isn’t right here. Many reviews show the 600w unit can’t power a 6k btu unit. So for you to power an 8k sounds weird

Those midea inverter technology air conditioner are great I have a 12,000 btu one and when I use my 2200 watts inverter generator it only uses 430 watts with the condenser on and it has the soft start would love to try it with the ecoflow 1300 watts or 3400 watts

@We the People.... how long does it run?

what? why do I need a buffer? The plug coming out of the generator is fine.

Huh?? WTF are you talking about? Window AC’s have thermostats also. The compressors come on and off regularly. Dude get your facts straight?

Are you saying that's what it takes to run the unit when not in cooling mode like you set it to 78 and that's the fan just running or are you saying you got an ac unit that runs at 184 watts all day? And if so what brand lol 😆

The fan on a small window AC usually 50 watts when compressor is on its 450 to 480 watts and this is on a 5000 btu I’ve measured it

That’s what I’m talking about! So how many solar panels do you have to run your window unit all day/night? I’m in Florida and I’m interested in doing the same.

@@irietropicals4255 at the time is was a 300 Watt Dokio 18 Volt Solar Panel. The Issue was that I didn't have a long enough cord so I wasn't able to get full Sun the entire day. I layed it on my Grass rather than the roof. If I had it directed at the Sun I got 180-200 Watts out of it at it's peak. Power Stations like the Ecoflow Delta don't get the best Solar Conversion compared to Batteries so you'll never get fulll amount out of it. Extreme Heat also makes the Panels less efficient.

Fernando me podrias orientar poquito sobre esto porfavor, cual delta tienes, que es lo que necesitas, el maximo es 400w inpout ?

Este es el que tienes EcoFlow DELTA mini Power Station 882 Wh Power??

@True Shore No that was just a test day. I have since then tested multiple times on different days with varying heat and varying sun exposure.
