Rooftop A/C

March 15, 2013

Dometic’s commercial-grade rooftop air conditioner for trucks is designed to overcome harsh and unusual road and weather conditions.

The lightweight device weighs 91 pounds and features a top plate made of .04-inch galvanized steel and a thick powder-coated base pan.

Vibration is controlled by strong L brackets that tie the motor, compressor and evaporator together, along with long copper lines and dual rubber bushings at the top and bottom of the unit that also control noise.
