Could you add a 12VDC AC compressor to help an Interchiller?
Could you add a 12VDC AC compressor to help an Interchiller? Just thinking about the Interchiller system, and I am curious if a 12VDC AC compressor could be added inline with the stock AC compressor to increase the total BTU capability for those of us in very hot environments.

I don't think you could, not without major reconfiguration. The way to increase the capacity of your AC system is to install a larger condenser.
I don't think you need to though. They have a kit to modify the system to exclude cooling the cabin.
Talk to Interchiller. They should have plenty of information on system capacity.

I was going to run a standalone electric ac compressor with its own condenser and killerchiller brick. I ended up giving up on the project because i have so many other things to address on my project and it was too much for me. Id be happy to sell the brick, 360amp alternator, and electric ac compressor If your interested.
The plan was to just run this setup on a thermostat so it would keep the water around 50f constantly. This way you dont interfere with the oem ac system at all

You asked if you could add a compressor to your system. The solution I gave you eliminates, at least temporarily the cabin AC. I thought you wanted to go fast. LOL
I can understand an AC system in Phoenix not having excess, or even enough capacity. I lived in Phoenix for 10 years. Many automotive AC systems struggle to cool in Phoenix. I replaced the R-134a in my truck with R-290. It is ferociously cold. At 2 PM, on a 118 degree day and the car heat soaked I could start it and drive on the 101 for 5 minutes and the air coming out of the vent was 34 degrees. This is flow though, not recirculate. AC systems on cars limit the low temp the system will run at to avoid freezing the evaporator so who knows how cold it will really get.
That is one way to do it. Adding a compressor to the existing system is not the way to increase the cooling. The compressor makes a hot gas into a hot liquid. Still hot. The limit to capacity for an AC system is getting the heat out of the refrigerant (gas) to turn it to a liquid. The condenser does that.
Pretty much the same answers as before. Second, or DC, AC Compressor for chilling intercooler?
