With its high cooling capacity of 18 000 BTU and slim design its makes the perfect choice in rooftop systems for Australian mobile vehicles
The RTK5 is designed to suit all types of mobile equipment for Australian conditions with tough external and internal construction.
Slimline in design and providing high cooling capacity the RTK5 is the best solution and latest technology in rooftop air conditioning systems.
Designed for a wide range of rooftop mounting applications, the Rencool RTK5 rooftop air conditioner is the lowest profile built on the Australian market. This reduces drag whilst driving and also good clearance required for small and large machinery.
The inside plenum incorporates easily removable return air filters allowing quick servicing of the filters.Very low servicing unit with self cleaning condenser coil, makes it ideal for heavy machinery applications also to suit Truck, Earthmoving, Mining Equipment, Motorhomes, Small people movers and more

The RTK5 is designed for many applications, such as machines, trucks, tractors, motor homes and any type of equipment with a flat roof. The unit is constructed from 2mm steel with a fibreglass top cover, the plenum is injected moulded plastic. Evaporator and condenser coils are copper tube and fin.
Unit cooling capacity is 18,000 BTU = 5.2kw if the compressor has enough capacity, such as a Sanden H-15 or H-14 etc. Smaller compressors still can have the capacity to work the unit, as most auto air conditioner compressors are over capacity on med to high RPM.
The unit is easy to install and requires no major cut out, this is a big winner in regards to roof support and installers time for the cut out. The unit is only 165mm high, this also is a huge advantage against competitors rooftop units. The air flow coming from the plenum outlets run east, west, south and directly from two eye ball vents. As per diagram of the plenum, the front small outlets provide good ventilation to the front screen which helps retain fogging, also the side windows.
The unit has easy mounting positions and comes with a 10mm EVA foam base, the unit (must) be sealed with a 227 sikaflex (not silicone). In the case of ribbed roofs the installer must obtain 20mm EVA foam for the base. Remember, the unit is only as good as the installer. It is important the fitter is certified to work on this type of equipment.
The RTK5 will cool most large cabs without any problem, in our experience we have not come across any machine that we could not cool with it. From Backhoes to D9 and D10 dozers. In some cases the unit can not be installed on some truck roofs eg, where the park lights are up front and traditionally long or heavy angles. Unit comes ready to plg and play, discharge and suction hoses and positive and negative and the clutch wire is all that is needed, Unit takes around 900grams of 134a gas, depending on hose lengths. We have sold these units to light refrigeration vehicles, such as flowers and chocolate goods.
the units fans can be replaced with off the shelf items here in Aust except for the receiver drier. Rencool always has good stock of any component for the RTK5.
