12V evaporator and condenser packages for transit van conversions and Type II ambulances. Space-efficient systems designed for van-based specialty vehicles, with free engineering support and same-day shipping on in-stock units.
Danhard provides 12V evaporator and condenser packages for transit van conversions, including Type II ambulances. Our systems are designed for the space constraints and budget requirements of van-based specialty vehicles. ASV and AMR NextFleet — two of the largest ambulance remounters in the country — both use Danhard HVAC systems in their transit van programs.
Transit van conversions require HVAC systems that fit tight compartments and integrate with existing OEM infrastructure. Our approach centers on 12V evaporator units paired with auxiliary condenser packages that tie into the OEM compressor. This configuration works with the factory compressor and refrigerant system, avoiding complex modifications to the powertrain.
We stock multiple evaporator capacities and condenser sizes to match the cooling load of your specific patient compartment, cargo area, or crew cabin.
Before we recommend a system, our team evaluates available mounting space, OEM alternator capacity, and cooling load requirements specific to your vehicle platform. This consultation is provided at no charge to all prospective OEM customers.
Transit vans offer fewer installation positions than a Type I or Type III box ambulance. Roof mounting, side wall mounting, and under-seat configurations are all possible, but each requires careful planning around door clearance, structural members, and passenger access. We review your specific van layout before making a recommendation.
Many van platforms carry alternators rated at 100–120 amps. Adding a secondary cooling system reduces headroom for other electrical loads. We assess the full electrical demand before specifying a system, and in some cases recommend a higher-output alternator or a reduced-capacity evaporator to stay within the vehicle's limits.
Van-based conversions typically run on tighter program margins than large commercial chassis builds. A 12V evaporator paired with an auxiliary condenser costs meaningfully less to purchase and install than a full combination unit, which is why it's the standard choice for high-volume Type II ambulance programs.
Danhard maintains a full catalog of replacement parts for all systems. Whether you need hoses, fittings, controls, blower motors, or complete evaporator assemblies, we stock the parts you need and ship most orders the same day.
This inventory strategy helps keep your van conversions in service and your warranty costs under control.
AMR NextFleet is one of the largest ambulance remounters in the country, remounting a high volume of transit van chassis into Type II ambulances. Danhard has been their primary HVAC supplier since AMR NextFleet's inception, serving 100+ locations nationally with flexible blanket orders that match their remount schedule.
ASV is an ambulance remounter that includes transit van remounts alongside their larger Type I and Type III programs. Danhard has been ASV's primary HVAC supplier since 2018, supporting their growth from one shift to two full shifts with reliable availability and engineering support.
Tube-and-fin construction on every coil and condenser, and 95%+ U.S.-sourced components. On the rare occasion a warranty claim is needed, we do whatever is required to make it right.
Our lead engineer has 30+ years of specialty vehicle HVAC experience and guides every customer through system selection at no charge, ensuring the right configuration for your van platform.
