@JamesAmbrose48 2 года назад

I hear a lot of people promoting this as an option for truckers. I wish we were consulted first on this. On warm days this might help, but when the weather is really hot, nothing short of diesel powered AC blasting in both the front and sleeper sections will keep us cool. The sun beating down on the truck turns it into an oven. There’s also the issue of venting and intake ductwork. A window adapter would go a long way to solve this. Still I see potential for this to help in certain conditions.

@gladiusltd.5664 Год назад

This is essentially a "spot cooler". Labeled as an air conditioner. Will never truly cool a truck in Memphis, Reno, Atlanta during the summer.

I drive long haul and my truck has an APU that does Heat and AC, runs off Diesel. If it's over 95F and the sun is beating down it can't cope but if I run the truck and crank the AC to get the temp way down, like 65F then run the APU it keeps it cool for much longer. I do lots of California and Arizona so it gets hot. I bet if you had run that thing and let it's AC cool the truck down then switched to the Ecoflow it would do much better and run longer. Love the Pete, they don't make em like that anymore.

R u an owner op? If so, is the spot market still horrible as far as low rates, to go with fuel cost doubling? My truck has been parked a couple months. I may sell it

@AaronTyson 2 года назад

@@TechMadeEzy if you don’t know what an APU is. It’s an Auxiliary Power Unit. It runs on diesel consumed from the main tanks. They generally burn between 0.1 and 0.5 gallons of fuel per hour depending on their design, the ambient temperature, the sleeper's insulation, and the resulting HVAC load, along with the AC power being generated. However not all semi trucks are equipped with an APU. Most company owned trucks don’t use them due to cost, installation cost and on going maintenance of the APU. It makes sense for owner operators and very small fleet owners.

I really like the fact that I can charge the Wave using solar panels which is quite smart by the way.

@premierexcavating Год назад

I would've loved to see this video done with a little more thought and prep involved. At the very least that unit should've been between the seats and had the curtains closed to cool only the back. The comments about the intake sucking in hot outside air are correct too. It should be using the cooler inside air. I really do appreciate the video made for specifically for us though!

This unit will not be powerful enough to cool down your truck when it's 95+ especially when the sun hits your truck and heats it up like crazy. I ordered one for my truck hoping if I aim the cool air at me/bed it will keep me comfortable enough to sleep

Thanks for the test I just bought the ecoflow Wave 2 and I haven't used it yet I just wanted to straighten you out on something you keep referring to an older truck it doesn't matter what kind of truck you have any truck it would be beneficial to not run the truck and idol it. It doesn't matter how old or how new your truck is. The Eco flow wave or Wave 2 could be an advantage if you have enough battery to run it

The 1 side vent that was cracked open in the sleeper area makes a lil difference as well. May have worked a pinch better with it closed

I have a 14,000 btu portable house A/C, doesn’t completely cools the entire cab but if I face it towards the bed I got to use a blanket when outside is 100 degrees. Also helps to put reflective material on the windshield and windows.

@victorradu3986 2 года назад

4000BTU is not nearly enough to cool down a metal/fiberglass box with the sun hitting it and 95+ degrees outside. Plus it will drain your truck batteries in no time if u run it off an inverter.

@victorradu3986 2 года назад

I had a 14,000 btu portable ac unit and on 95+ degrees it won't help much, it would keep me comfortable enough if I aimd the unit to blow air at my bed/myself but it drained the batteries in no time, I ordered this unit hoping it will keep me comfortable aiming the air at me, and not killing my batteries, I'll order the portable power station too if the ac unit blowing cold air directly at me keeps me comfortable enough to sleep.

@PDXGTP 2 года назад

I don't see why you couldn't put a 200 watt solar panel on the roof of the truck (not the folding portable panel) so it literally is charging itself all the time during the day and then eventually it'll catch up and be charged and then stay charged all the time. Run it down at night and then sun charge it during the day while you're driving with the sun and the solar panel will provide shade for the top cabin of the truck.

@TechMadeEzy 2 года назад

Definitely, just mount it

@adam-newbloom 2 года назад

Smart idea, the truck itself can charge the unit probably just as fast unless you get 300-400 watts of solar on the roof. The shade idea does help too!

@AaronTyson 2 года назад

@TechMadeEzy 2 года назад

Thank you, I really don't know.

@JamesAmbrose48 2 года назад

A problem I see with this is Ecoflow making the 12 volt system proprietary, that is, only works with other Ecoflow products. Because the Wave’s energy use is much more efficient using 12 volt rather than plugging in an AC outlet, it becomes less useful on a truck where space is limited.

@igor1126 2 года назад

It will. But not for long. That thing draws 500w of power.

@AaronTyson 2 года назад

Yes it will with a 3000w inverter. But to be sure you should ask EcoFlow

@victorradu3986 2 года назад

3000 watt inverter will have no issue running the a/c since the a/c is not drawing more then 600 watts, I ran a 14,000 btu portable room ac from Costco, only issue it will drain your truck battery's fast. If you run the ac and fridge it will most likely drain your battery's in less then 8 hrs that's if u have good quality batteries. Older/cheaper batteries will drain much quicker.

You would need an inverter that can handle the charging capacity of the battery. Problem is most inverters truck driver use are small.

In the name of science I have a question. Since the wave battery plug for the wave is the same as the max plug, can you see what will happen if you plug the wave battery into the slot of the max and see if it charges? Would definitely save me from buying an extra wave battery or extra max battery

@Dmpreciado 2 года назад

@@TechMadeEzy sorry let me rephrase it a bit better. So if you were to release the wave ac unit from add on battery and take the AC unit off leaving the external battery free, can you lift it up and see if it will fit into the side of the delta max extra battery 1 compartment inlet plug? Essentially bypassing the unit locked on the wave battery and charging it via AC. Because as it stands right now the only way of charging the add on wave battery is having it hooked up to the wave and charging via AC. Makes no sense to me on limiting the number of ways to charge it

I am wondering why the intake air is coming from the outside?? One would think that the cooling would be more efficient to take the dryer, cooler air inside and cool it down. I have a free standing air conditioner and the only tube is for the hot air headed outside. The intake is all from indoor air.

@adam-newbloom 2 года назад

Your thought process is right, what happens though is it then creates neg pressure and the outside air is pulled in through window cracks and openings so it essentially makes it harder to keep the space cooler. I learned this the hard way ;)

@victorradu3986 2 года назад

It will kill your batteries really quickly! And honestly idk how much help this will be, as a truck driver my self I don't think this is powerful enough to cool your truck down when it's 100f out and the sun is hitting your truck and just heating it up. I tried a 14,000 btu portable room a/c unit from Costco and it was having a hard time keeping the cab at a comfortable temperature, when the sun was out it will literally trun the truck into an oven. But the same 14,000 btu unit would cool down a decent room in the house since the house has instalation and it keeps the air in. Once the sun sets down the air will start slowly cooling in the truck. But still didn't do the best job cooling. I did order one of those units just to try out in the truck, hopefully it will cool down the truck (highly doubt it) or at least the cold air blowing into the bed will be enough to sleep comfortably.
