Evaporators, condensers, heaters, and combination heat/cool units that tie into your vehicle's existing engine-driven systems. Every component is selected and configured specifically for your vehicle by Danhard's engineering team.
Cooling for 12V systems is accomplished with an engine-driven compressor. Danhard supplies evaporators, condensers, heaters, optional standalone compressors, and all supporting components. Danhard's engineering team guides component selection at no charge.
Interior cooling units operating on the vehicle's 12-volt electrical system. In standard configurations, they tie into the vehicle's existing engine-driven compressor. When more cooling is needed, Danhard can supply a secondary dedicated compressor and mount-and-drive kit.
Tube-and-fin with optimized fin spacing for efficient heat transfer and resistance to debris buildup.
Exterior heat-rejection component. Always designed alongside the evaporator to ensure optimal system performance and cooling capacity.
Tube-and-fin design. Competitor parallel-flow designs clog with debris within months. Danhard's proven tube-and-fin construction delivers long-term reliability.
Standalone heating units that tie into the vehicle's hot engine coolant circuit. Most common in ambulance split systems with cooling evaporator at cabinet top and heater at baseboard level. All coolant-based systems with no resistive electric heaters in 12V products, ensuring efficient heating from the engine's waste heat.
Interior units with both cooling and heating coils in a single package. The primary application is fire trucks, where Ferrara uses three per truck for comprehensive climate control. Also used in armored vehicles and other specialty applications. More compact than split systems, suitable when space is limited or when integrated heating and cooling in one unit is preferred.
Danhard's engineering team evaluates your vehicle's OEM compressor capacity, available mounting space, and climate requirements to recommend the right 12V components. No one-size-fits-all approach.
By leveraging the vehicle's existing engine-driven compressor and coolant circuit, 12V systems deliver climate control without the expense of a self-contained AC-powered system.
Tube-and-fin construction on every coil and condenser, and 95%+ U.S.-sourced components. When a warranty claim is needed, we make it right.
