Generators (AC or DC) -
One of the big advantages of the DC Breeze is that it makes air conditioning practical for boats that either do not have traditional AC generators, or want to have air conditioning without turning them on. If you have a generator (either AC of DC) but would like to have air conditioning without the generator running, then you will want to set up your battery bank to provide sufficient storage to handle the "generator-free" run time you want. Later, when running the generator is more convenient, use it to recharge the batteries. If you want to have the option of extended air conditioning operation, make sure your battery charger has sufficient capacity to provide 48 amps of 12v power while the generator runs (see the Shore Power Chargers section above). For boats with small DC generators designed for battery charging, the DC Breeze is just what you've been waiting for. Nearly all of these chargers create more that enough power to run the DC Breeze directly even while you simultaneously charge the batteries. Finding room for accessories on a boat is never easy and it is not always possible to find that "perfect" spot. Most installations become a compromise between the available space and the ideal for accessibility and short duct, cooling water and electrical power runs. As you make that compromise, it is important to recognize that the quality and thoughtfulness that goes into your installation can have a major impact on the performance of your air conditioner.
