[VAC] Air Cond for Dreamers

[wescott50@xxxxxxxxx (Bill Scott)]

This is a design question for all you boondockers that would like to
have A/C without a noisy generator, or adequate 110 volt power.   Anyone
with the savy can try to answer the question, and there might be a prize
for the winner.  I fully expect Jim Dunmyer to have a competitive
design.      Question:

How many large golf cart type storage batteries will it require to run a
9,000 btu Air conditioner, supplemented by a small trickle charger from
a low 110 volt source, putting into the batteries 10 amps of DC. The
batteries will also have a charging source of 2, 48 watt solar panels.
All of this DC current will then be fed into a 2500 watt invertor, to
provide the power to run the A/C.   The Air Conditioner will only run
during the day, from 10am, until 6pm, a period when the solar panels
will be producing maximum out put.   Ready, get
set,................................go.
