Cooling in Recreational Vehicles (RV)

Everybody wants to bring modern comfort with them when going on vacation or a weekend tour. With the BD compressors, it is possible to go on vacation in recreational vehicles all over the world and to bring along a refrigerator and a freezer – even in "off grid" places without any power supply. The compressors from Secop are universal for 12 V and 24 V DC power supply and can be used in recreational vehicles, such as luxury coaches, diesel motor homes, mini motor homes, travel trailers and fifth wheel hitches, truck campers, etc. They are also unbeatable when it comes to tolerating changing climatic conditions and vibrations under harsh road conditions.

The BD1.4F-VSD, BD35F, BD50F, and BD80F compressors cover a capacity range from 20 W to 180 W as well as low and medium back-pressure applications. Refrigerator sizes up to 180 liters and freezers up to 90 liters.

A special version of the electronic unit will adapt the capacity of the compressor automatically (AEO) to the actual load on the refrigeration system. The algorithm will adjust the speed of the compressor so that a running time of approximately 30 minutes is achieved. This is the most energy-efficient way to operate the compressor. The BD.14F-VSD and BD35F/BD50F (with a second-generation electronic unit 101N0212) offer an ECO function which optimally adapts the compressor's speed. It has additional features such as a fan speed control, built-in electronic thermostat, communication interface which makes programming of the controller easy, no resistors, and extra wiring.

The compressors are controlled by an electronic unit including protection against overload and destructive battery discharge. The unit also features an internal voltage recording as well as calibration to the applied voltage (compressor monitoring).
