Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Likely the pressure switches and harnesses are also sized for the 24 volt ampacity. I think you are going to run into more cost converting the military kit into 12 volt than if you had bought a Red Dot civi universal application backwall A/C kit.The parts cost to replace the 24V A/C motor type parts w/ 12V equivalents is;
2- Condenser Fans
1- Blower Motor
1- Fan Clutch Coil
...is going to be about $425.00 or so w/ shipping and I searched for best pricing.
The circuit breaker needs to be bigger, they recommend a 40A breaker
for the blower motor (it uses 31Amps) and they recommend a 25Amp
breaker for "a" condenser fan I think he said.
The unit has a 30Amp breaker now on the PS. SO I guess we need to replace it too
if this route were taken.
Did I say my brain hurts?
The DC up is the way to go. Have it dedicated to the A/C system (match amps). Leave the T-R in place. If the 12-24 up converter blows, well you ride hot. If you go through the pain of installing a 24 volt alt and a 24-12 down converter, if it blows, you are inop on the side of the road.
Did you ever get your lowboy? That is really terrible timing.Jeep: Yes, while I was getting badged in, the T-R commenced to smoking and security called base FD and they rolled every piece of apparatus on the site. It was BEYOND EMBARRASSING. By the time they rolled up, I had the batteries disconnected and the T-R was just simmering. I was asked to leave without my lowboy and told not to come back.
R Racing: Reb87 reports the same freeze-out problem you do so I think he's got plenty of charge. I think the fans only come on when the discharge pressure reaches a certain point, and the fans remove some more heat that is not dissipating by natural airflow.
Lol I'll post the schematic soon it's easy. Another thought. Although not heavy duty a car style 200 amp 1 wire alternator are extremely cheap. And will fit with ease. I have 1 on my m925a1 not sure how much belt load they will take. BUT there everywhere and cheap. Use it with a equilizer and 2 auto rest over loads and ur set
