Subject:      Will a 12V DC motor run an AC system?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1

Hi all.

Just avoiding work today and had a thought.

Would a moderately sized 12v DC motor run an automotive compressor/AC system?

Was thinking one could assemble an AC system based on a 12 V motor and install it in the front area of a Vanagon. Shorter lines, no heat from engine bay ......

Likely someone has thought of this, and likely it isn't possible, i.e a big enough DC motor would draw too much, but I am curious.

Cheers,
