Anyone adapt a red dot HMMWV a/c to the FMTV?

[TOBASH]

I have a red dot complete and unused 24V a/c at home. Anyone ever adapt for use on FMTV?

Are there better options?

Is that for like an Ambo or something? The up-armored HMMWV uses a dual evaporator system but is engine driven. At least for two and four man versions.

If you have a NIIN I can possibly determine what it was intended for.

How old is it and what is it's BTU rating and amperage draw? Likely will need at least a 200A alternator and I think the ambulance and communications shelter HMMWV's had an even larger unit or a second alternator or something. My unit never had those models.

The better option is the factory system (which is 33,000 BTU for comparison). Currently that's not an *available* option due to surplus but they will come back in stock it's just a matter of when the next draw down happens and ultimately the market will be flooded in 10 years as the early A1P2's go to DLA.

I did. I used all the components except for the evaporator. I used the LMTV Gen 1 evaporator for the interior. It didn’t cool it well enough so slowly replaced the less expensive parts first like condenser and fan after that didn’t work I got rid of the Gen 1 evaporator and replaced it with the Gen 2 unit. That was the solution, now it will freeze you out. So basically the only thing left is the compressor, drier and hoses. I made a custom mount on the passenger side of the engine for the compressor. It was nice because the humvee kit allows you to make custom length hoses.

Doesn't Sean from the Abel LMTV Youtube channel run one of those in his cab?

Sean filner put that unit in his fmtv on the fastidious restomod YouTube channel
