Everyone's cab is
comfortable while they're rolling down the highway, but when you don't want to
idle, or can't, things get downright unpleasant. Some states have laws against
idling; other times, you just want to conserve fuel to make a tight load pay better.
If you don't have an alternate solution to idling, you're the one paying the
price - in more ways than one.
The price for idling
over long periods isn't just the fuel involved, even though that's bad enough
when you burn through an additional 3,500+ gallons of fuel yearly idling for
comfort. Multiply that total by the cost per gallon for some ugliness.
You also have to take
into consideration the number of extra oil changes you'll have to pay for,
because now there's fuel and particulates in your oil from extended idling. And
let's not forget the scoring of the cylinders because of the damage to your
oil. Now you get to plan for a rebuild of the motor sooner than expected.
Unless you have a plan.
If that plan includes
a Nite Phoenix Climate Control System, you're on the right track. With a deep
cycle battery powered AC unit, and a heater that uses only .03 to .06 gallons
of fuel per hour - vs. ½ to 1 gallon via idling, this unit will start paying
for itself immediately.
The Nite system has
the highest cooling capacity available of any battery-powered system on the
market. It doesn't matter what the temperature is outside, you can relax, work
or sleep comfortably.
This is not a genset,
so it complies with all no-idle laws. This unit works from a set of batteries
mounted on your truck, and draws power from that. This unit draws no electrical
power from your truck when the truck is shut down. And it doesn't just keep you
comfortable for a few hours, it can go for up to 10 hours, or more - depending
on charge and solar load. To break it down, here's the highlights:
·
Electrified AC unit
runs on auxiliary AGM/deep cycle batteries.
·
Larger compressor
leads to larger cooling capacity.
·
New LCD digital user
interface and battery monitoring system. Features on-board service diagnostics,
automatic temperature control and check filter function.
·
Energy-efficient and
environmentally friendly. Complies with all idle restriction laws.
·
Approved by the
California Air Resources Board (CARB).
·
Installs easily under
bunk in 8-10 hours.
·
Shore power and hotel
load options.
·
Espar or Webasto
diesel fuel-fired heater option.
The Nite system also doesn't take a lot of
time to install, so you have very little down time. If you've got 8-10 hours,
you can have a Nite system installed. Start putting that cash for idling fuel
in your pocket. If you want to know how much this system can save you
specifically, and how quickly the system pays for itself; call us, and we'll do
the calculations for you. 800 849 2178
