The Rencool DCSS (Day Cab Sleeper System) is a complete 12V or 24V DC air conditioning solution engineered specifically for compact, high-demand environments in mining, military, and transport sectors. With a fully modular design, the DCSS is purpose-built for vehicles and shelters where mounting space is limited or installation flexibility is essential.
Developed in Australia for some of the world’s harshest conditions, the DCSS offers silent, engine-off climate control, helping to reduce fuel consumption, prevent heat stress, and maintain operational readiness—whether on the battlefield, in the pit, or along the highway.
The DCSS is engineered as a three-piece system to enable custom installation across tight, irregular, or space-constrained environments:
-
MD18 DC Compressor
-
EV-2208 5-Port Evaporator (with dual thermostats)
-
RNC105 High-Efficiency Condenser
Each component can be mounted independently—under bunks, behind panels, or in remote equipment bays—making the system ideal for vehicles or cabins where traditional all-in-one units simply won’t fit.
Key Advantages for Mining & Military Use
-
Engine-Free Operation:
Runs entirely on battery or DC power—ideal for idle reduction, stealth operations, or off-grid cooling during downtime or rest periods. -
Tough Enough for the Field:
IP-rated components, low-vibration architecture, and internally cooled brushless motors make the DCSS resilient in harsh, high-dust, and high-temperature environments. -
Smart Cooling Control:
Dual thermostats provide precise temperature management and automatic de-ice protection. Outlet temps stay between +6°C and +10°C even at +40°C ambient. -
Efficient Power Management:
Compressor and fans draw between 15A–65A depending on voltage and load. Supports integration with solar systems, battery banks, or high-output alternators. -
Minimal Maintenance:
No belts, pulleys, or engine dependency means fewer moving parts and lower service requirements—critical for remote or underground deployments.
