MRCOOL provides an ideal solution for truckers looking for a food truck air conditioner that is powerful and does not break the bank. Food trucks run hot, and generally we accept it because cool air from an AC is going to get sucked into the range hoods. However, with the right positioning and overall air flow, a mini-split AC can provide some relief.
The $$ savings of the DIY install is what helps put the capability of a mini-split unit in the realm of the reasonable. You will save the $3000 – $5000 dollar install costs required by an HVAC professional because their patented coolant lines ship pre-charged.
We suggest installation or placement of a powerful fan on the opposite side of the truck from the AC to have a chance at drawing air past your ventilation system.
MRCOOL also carry a 2, 3, and 4 zone system where you can have several heat exchangers running in different parts of your food truck. Those will be added soon and linked here.
We also highly recommend these for residential emplacements! Feel free to purchase from us for any purpose. MRCOOL has a dedication to quality that comes through in every interaction with their team, so we stand by their product.
