  Very simple to use

  Posted by Katy Johnson on 31st Jul 2022

  I thought this would be a lot of work to install in my camper van, but there really is no installation. I am very pleased with this purchase.

  Nice unit

  Posted by Alex Grachen on 28th Apr 2020

  I need to wait until the summer until I can properly use it when it is super hot here, but overall looks really good and the service was very efficient. Will be using in my motorhome, I just hope all this madness with the coronavirus will be finished by then and we can all travel safely.

  Great product

  Posted by Sebastian on 13th Apr 2019

  It arrived fast with Fedex, well packed and in great condition. Amazing product which I use with an Optima Blue Top battery and an off grid CTEK system in my Toyota Sienna. Can't find anything like it in the USA or Canada. Autoclima US and Canada representative was of no help, luckily I found Heatso. Well done guys!

The Zero Breeze – A Legit 12-volt Air Conditioner for Trucks

As a trucker, you know how uncomfortable it can be to take a nap in your cab in the middle of summer.  Hell, it’s hard enough to sleep comfortably at night even when temperatures cool down.

How about re-charing your batteries and taking a 20-minute power nap in the hot August sun? Forget it.

We have seen several portable air conditioners out there aimed at truck drivers, but to be honest, most of those are fickle and never last. Others are big and difficult to move around the cab, so they never get enough use to offset the price.

That’s why I was naturally skeptical of Zero Breeze, a portable air conditioner that’s marketed as both powerful and lightweight. But as it turns out, this is a legit 12-volt air conditioner that will keep your cab comfortable all summer long.

It’s not surprising that many people consider Zero Breeze the best portable air conditioner for truckers.

What is The Zero Breeze?

Shop ZeroBreeze.com

Zero Breeze is a battery-powered, 12V air conditioner that’s compact in size and light in weight. But don’t let its size fool you – this is a pretty powerful air conditioner.

Zero Breeze is an 1100 BTU A/C unit with a built-in micro compressor. This is a real-deal air conditioner – not just a fan that blows ice or water (i.e. evaporation air conditioners).

This 12V air conditioner is powered by an interchangeable power base with 54 sections 18650 lithium battery composition.

On a full charge, you can get about 5 hours of use on normal and 3.5 hours of use on full load.

The unit itself weighs just 12 pounds, so you can easily move it around your cab, or take it with you on the go.

Zero Breeze does not emit any harmful gases, and it can lower the temperature in the area by up to 10 degrees Fahrenheit.

Because this is a true compressor air conditioner, it does require the use of an exhaust pipe. But you can just snake this out of your window.

The Zero Breeze unit is available with and without a smart battery. I’d recommend getting the smart battery. Otherwise, you’ll only be able to use this unit when it’s plugged in.

How Does Zero Breeze Work?

Shop ZeroBreeze.com

Zero Breeze uses a built-in compressor to cool the air. An exhaust pipe takes in fresh air, which is then cooled. The hose also vents hot air out of the room.

The unit itself has a control panel just about the vents. The panel allows you to choose between air conditioning and regular fan cooling. You can adjust the level of cooling with the touch of a button.

Beneath the control panel, you’ll find a button that you can press to pop the panel up and reveal a Bluetooth speaker. You can control the speaker function through your smartphone, and you can also control the play function through the control panel.

There’s a built-in LED light, too, which can change colors.

When you’re done with the unit, simply turn it off, remove the exhaust pipe, unplug, and you’re done. Setup takes just a few minutes, and cleaning up is just as quick.

When not in use, the compact unit is easy to store in your cab without taking up too much space.

Can I Use My Solar Power System to Run Zero Breeze?

What if you have a solar power system? Can you still run Zero Breeze? Yes.

There’s just one caveat: The system must supply stable 12V, 15A DC power. If it can, then you’re good to go.

What Models are Available?

If you’re looking for Zero Breeze for sale, you’ll find that the Mark 1 model is already available. This is the model that I detailed above.

But Zero Breeze has also just released the Mark 2, which is a new and improved model that will be shipping soon.

The Mark 2 has more advanced features than the Mark 1. It boasts a 630Wh battery system and a 5-hour running time. It’s still portable and lightweight, and it offers a quick 10-minute fast cooling effect.

With this model, you get maximum cooling of 30 degrees Fahrenheit with minimum noise output. This model has twice the cooling power, with 2300 BTU/h and 40% more cooling efficiency. It also includes an LED light as well as a USB-C port.

The Mark 2 uses a unique dual hose system that draws in fresh outdoor air and outputs hot exhaust air through another hose. The dual hose system allows fresh air to be regulated to eliminate negative pressure in the room while maximizing performance efficiency.

And with a noise output of 40-50 dba, this unit is ultra-quiet compared to other portable air conditioning units.

Again, you can’t buy the Mark 2 until after December 2019, but it’s going to be a decent upgrade compared to the Mark 1.

What are the Benefits of Zero Breeze?

Do you really need a portable air conditioner? Yes. Zero Breeze offers more benefits than you think.

Sleep Comfortably

With Zero Breeze, you can keep your cab cool and sleep comfortably. Keeping your rig on while you nap is out of the question, and idling isn’t enough to keep your cab cool.

But a portable air conditioner will keep you cool without wasting gas or your truck’s battery. It takes just a few minutes for this portable air conditioner to cool a cab, and you get hours of use out of a single charge.

Portable and Practical

Zero Breeze is both a portable and practical solution to your cooling needs. Weighing just 12 pounds, you can easily take this A/C unit anywhere you please.

The exhaust pipe can easily be placed in the passenger-side window, and you can place the unit anywhere you want.

True Cooling Power

This is a real air conditioner with a built-in micro compressor. Other portable air conditioners – i.e. evaporation air conditioners – are nothing more than just fans with water or ice inside.

Zero Breeze is a 1,100 BTU air conditioner, and the Mark 2 will offer 2300 BTU/h.

Easy to Use

Even though Zero Breeze is a true air conditioner, it’s still easy to use. All you need is ventilation (e.g. an open window), and you can use this A/C unit. The battery bank base powers the unit and gives you hours of use on normal.

There’s no water or ice to refill. Just turn on the unit, and enjoy cooler air.

Where to Buy Zero Breeze

Where can you get a Zero Breeze air conditioner? You won’t find this unit in big box stores or even home improvement stores.

If you’re looking to get the best price, you’ll want to buy directly from the manufacturer.

Along with the best price, you also get the warranty and guarantee when you buy directly from the manufacturer. You may not get these same protections if you purchase your unit from a third-party seller.

how to choose and is there any benefit?

Residents of the metropolis are well aware of the problem of traffic jams, associated with exhausting heat in the summer and a constant feeling of cold in the winter. Therefore, an important condition for a comfortable stay in the car for both the driver and passengers is the presence of an air conditioning system.

Many car owners today have the opportunity to purchase a portable device that can be installed in the car interior to create coolness – this is portable air conditioner from cigarette lighter .

12 volt car air conditioners – portable climate control or trinket?

The first mini gadgets of this type appeared back in Soviet times and were compact fans.

But they were ineffective in combating high temperatures inside the car, as they did not affect the air temperature, but only created airflow. Despite this, portable fans were in great demand among all categories of car owners due to the lack of alternatives.

The idea of ​​creating a universal device for cooling the air inside a car turned out to be attractive, and a huge number of manufacturers became interested in it, who already at the end of the 20th century tried to create the first portable air conditioner for a car.

A wide range of compact cooling systems for vehicles is available today. It should be noted that in Europe and the USA such designs are widely used, as they provide comfortable conditions while driving. A number of countries have even introduced restrictions on the use of vehicles not equipped with air conditioning.

Design and function

An obvious feature of a portable air conditioner for a car is its appearance – it is a monolithic device, inside of which elements of the cooling system are installed. Installation of the device is quite simple. Car air conditioning from the cigarette lighter maintains a comfortable temperature inside the cabin.

The operation of the air conditioner is based on the principle of moving refrigerant through the system, which evaporates as it absorbs heat, and then, reaching the dew point, turns back into liquid form.
There are 2 types of car air conditioners:

Compressor air conditioners

These systems are efficient mechanisms for both cooling and heating. Their operation is based on the cyclical circulation of a refrigerant that can quickly change from liquid to gaseous state and vice versa.

Advantages:

• High efficiency in ensuring optimal air temperature.
• The presence of heating and ventilation functions.

Disadvantages:

• Difficult to mount due to heat dissipation outside the machine.
• Large amount of energy consumed.

Portable air conditioners

Such systems create a cooling effect with water. The principle of operation is as follows: water is transferred to the heat exchanger using a pump and begins to evaporate, thereby cooling the air entering through the fans; then the steam condenses, takes a liquid form and returns to the tank through pipelines.

Advantages:

• Low energy consumption.
• Possibility of operation when the engine is not running.

Disadvantages:

• Efficiency is related to the humidity in the cabin.
• Water tanks needed.

Efficiency of autonomous car air conditioners

Portable air conditioners can create a favorable atmosphere in the car interior. However, this will take a large amount of power, which is undesirable for passenger cars. Therefore, a 12 volt air conditioner is often used, which creates a cooling effect, but it is not able to cope with high temperatures.

Another problem is the heat generated by the air conditioner during operation. It must necessarily be removed outside the cabin, otherwise the efficiency of the cooling system will be low due to the heating of the device itself.

In order to increase the efficiency of the air conditioning system for cars, you can use devices equipped with cold accumulators as a refrigerant, installed in a container with a fan.

Benefits of a stand-alone car air conditioner

Lack of air conditioning in the car can lead to a number of problems, such as overheating of the driver and passengers in the summer and discomfort due to the cold in winter.

Installation of an independent air conditioning system in vehicles equipped with a sunroof is a simple procedure for specialists and usually does not take more than 3 hours.

Maintenance of air conditioning systems of this kind is quite affordable from a financial point of view. It is also worth noting that a water-based air conditioner for a car is an excellent solution that does not require large energy costs.

Selection criteria and what they affect

The first thing you should pay attention to when choosing an air conditioner for a car is information about the manufacturer. It is worth giving preference to trusted brands. Such is Telair, for example. You should not try to save money by opting for cheap models from unknown manufacturers.

Equally important should be given to the characteristics of the device itself:

• Power.
• Consumed energy.
• Dimensions.
• Type of refrigerant used.

Be careful when studying the above aspects, so as not to purchase a conventional fan instead of a volt air conditioner.

What about the truck?

Portable air conditioners cannot be installed in the interior of the truck, since their cigarette lighter power is only 250 watts, while portable appliances require 1000 watts of power to ensure a comfortable temperature in the cabin.

The modern market offers the best solution for trucks – roof air conditioner. Car air conditioner Telair Dualclima 8400H is a rooftop monoblock 2.46kW, 230V, which is perfect for creating the optimal temperature in the interior of trucks. It has an optimal power consumption of 230 W, allows you to remotely adjust the temperature in the range from +18 to +30 ° C using the remote control. The device is easy to operate, easy to clean, has anti-icing protection. Can be installed on medium and large trucks.

Conclusion

It can be concluded that portable devices powered by a cigarette lighter and creating a cooling effect are not able to have a serious impact on the climate inside the cabin at high temperatures.
