The BU-1013-0-12 Remote Mount Power Condenser is designed for mobile A/C systems that require a remotely mounted condenser assembly. This 12V power condenser is rated at 39,000 BTU and provides 1300 CFM of airflow.
The unit has a listed current draw of 16 amps at 13.6V DC and an approximate weight of 48 lbs. Its remote-mount configuration makes it suitable for custom mobile HVAC systems, cab A/C systems, equipment applications, and retrofit installations where the condenser must be positioned away from the primary A/C components.
Function and Performance
The condenser removes heat from the refrigerant after it leaves the compressor, allowing the refrigerant to transition from a hot, high-pressure vapor toward a high-pressure liquid before reaching the system’s metering device and evaporator.
The BU-1013-0-12 combines a condenser coil with a 12-inch 12V puller fan to provide airflow across the coil when the condenser is installed remotely.
The assembly also includes a drier, binary switch, relay, mounting brackets, and housing, providing several of the supporting components required for installation within a properly designed mobile A/C system.
Important System / Application Disclaimer
The BU-1013-0-12 is not a complete A/C system by itself. Additional components are required to create a fully functioning air-conditioning system.
Depending on the application, a complete system may require a compatible compressor, evaporator, expansion valve or orifice tube, hoses, fittings, wiring, controls, refrigerant, oil, mounting hardware, and other system-specific components.
Before ordering, confirm the complete A/C system configuration, voltage, airflow requirements, electrical capacity, hose routing, mounting space, and compatibility with the other components in the system.
Durability and Design
The BU-1013-0-12 is constructed as a remote-mount power condenser assembly with a housing, cover, condenser coil, mounting brackets, drier bracket, relay, binary switch, plugs, and 12-inch puller fan.
The listed finish is white.
Because condenser fitment depends on available mounting space, airflow, hose routing, and electrical capacity, compare the assembly dimensions and system requirements with the intended application before ordering.
Installation
Install the BU-1013-0-12 according to the requirements of the vehicle, equipment, and complete HVAC system.
Select a mounting location that provides adequate airflow across the condenser and allows the fan to discharge heat effectively. The installation should also provide sufficient clearance for hose routing, electrical connections, mounting hardware, and future service access.
Before installation, verify:
- System Voltage: 12V
- Available electrical capacity
- Airflow and mounting clearance
- Refrigerant hose routing
- Condenser orientation and mounting space
- Service access
- Compatibility with the other A/C system components
After installation, the complete A/C system should be evacuated, leak tested, and charged according to the appropriate service procedure for the system and refrigerant being used.
