12 Volt Electric Compressor
The Universal 12 Volt A/C Compressor provides a flexible solution for custom automotive air conditioning installations. Unlike conventional engine-driven compressors, an electric compressor operates from the vehicle’s 12-volt electrical system and does not require an engine-driven compressor belt. Universal 12V Electric Compressor Kit
The electric design provides greater flexibility when deciding where to mount the compressor, making it particularly useful for vehicles where engine compartment space is limited or where installing a conventional belt-driven compressor is difficult. Universal 12V Electric Compressor Kit specifically describes electric compressors as not belt driven and capable of being mounted in various configurations.
Key Features
12-Volt Electric Operation
No Engine-Driven Compressor Belt Required
Flexible Mounting Options
Ideal for custom automotive A/C installations
Excellent option where engine compartment space is limited
Suitable for classic and specialty vehicle applications
Can be incorporated into compatible Gilmore Enterprises A/C systems
A 12-volt electric compressor can be an excellent alternative to a traditional belt-driven compressor for custom builds, restorations, and vehicles where conventional compressor mounting presents a challenge.
Important: The vehicle's electrical and charging system must be properly sized for the compressor's electrical requirements. For example, one commercially available universal 12V compressor kit specifically recommends a 140-amp alternator, demonstrating the importance of verifying charging-system capacity for the particular compressor being installed.
Please verify electrical requirements, refrigerant compatibility, fittings, mounting requirements, and overall A/C system compatibility before ordering.
