Complete, self-contained HVAC systems with integrated compressor, condenser, evaporator, and pre-wired control box. Available in 125V shoreline and 230V configurations for ambulances, fire trucks, and other specialty vehicles.
Danhard's AC-powered systems are the most complete, self-contained climate control option for specialty vehicle compartments. Each system includes a compressor, condenser, evaporator, control box, and all wiring. They run on AC electrical power from an onboard generator or shoreline connection. Available in 125V/60Hz shoreline (standard North American), 230V/60Hz (higher capacity), and 230V/50Hz (international) configurations.
Every AC-powered system is modular: the compressor, condenser, evaporator, and air discharge points can each be mounted in different locations to fit the customer's vehicle layout. This flexibility allows Danhard to serve a wide range of vehicle configurations without requiring a ground-up custom design.
Two options for 125V shoreline systems: standard and higher-performance models. All rotary type for reliability in high-vibration environments. Typically frame-mounted to minimize vibration transmission to the vehicle structure.
Tube-and-fin construction for durability and thermal efficiency. Typically underbody-mounted with forward-mount option available. Design accommodates various vehicle configurations and available space constraints.
Multiple coil sizes matched to available space. Horizontal or vertical mounting capability. Tube-and-fin construction with optimized fin spacing for superior heat transfer performance.
Louvered (free-flow) or ducted options available to direct conditioned air where it is needed most in your vehicle compartment.
Danhard's proprietary pre-wired control box comes with 15 feet of cable for each component. The installer routes the pre-terminated cables and connects them to each component. Competitor systems historically required 50+ individual terminal block connections. This dramatically reduces installation time and wiring errors.
AC-powered systems are available in two primary configurations to match your vehicle's heating and cooling needs.
Cooling is provided by the evaporator coil and refrigerant circuit. This configuration is suitable for applications where heating is not required or is handled by a separate system.
Most common configuration. Cooling via refrigerant evaporator, heating via resistive electric heater or engine coolant tie-in. Provides complete temperature control year-round for demanding climates.
AC-powered systems excel in specialty vehicles with access to AC electrical infrastructure.
Type I and Type III ambulances are the primary application for 125V shoreline systems. The modular architecture accommodates various patient compartment layouts and cabinet configurations.
Some fire truck manufacturers use 125V shoreline systems for crew compartment climate control, taking advantage of the onboard electrical systems available in modern apparatus.
Any vehicle with access to AC electrical power from an onboard generator or shoreline connection is a candidate for AC-powered systems. Danhard's modular approach enables customization for armored vehicles, command centers, and other specialty applications.
Every component mounts independently. No ground-up custom engineering needed for most vehicle configurations. Flexibility to accommodate your specific space constraints and layout requirements.
Proprietary control box eliminates 50+ terminal connections. Reduces installation time, labor cost, and wiring errors. Every system tested and verified at the factory before shipment.
Tube-and-fin construction on every coil and condenser. Rotary compressors for high-vibration reliability. 95%+ U.S.-sourced components. On rare warranty needs, we make it right.
Our 30+ year specialist ensures the right system for your vehicle. Custom configurations evaluated at no charge. Same-day shipping on in-stock systems and quick turnaround on custom orders.
