1. Please stick to the sailing ….

2. €1200!!! You'd be better off with a small ac window unit. €300. Bigger, of course. But most small units will run off your inverter and with enough solar, mike minimum 160pw, it will run 4-5 hours.

3. It's just some bonus information, don't watch if you don't like it. I found it interesting, thanks.

4. Having just been through a hot summer, I thought it was pretty informative

5. Good info.

   Air-air heat exchangers have some advantages (portable), but I’d love to see a water-air heat pump that could be plumbed into the hot water system…cool nights and hot showers in the morning😉

   If this is something y’all will keep, will you wire it into a 12v bus (converter needed as I think you are a 24v boat) and find a “mounted” location for semi-permanent install?

6. As an HVAC pro of 50 years. Your airflow for your cooling needs to take room air and cool in down. So it’s always gaining on the temperature. When it was on deck is was pulling the “return air” from outside where the temperature is a constant. A/C units will gain 20-30 degrees as air passes through them. So if the outside temp is 40 it will never get the room below 20 or so plus your losing temps in the tube.
   Hope that makes sense.

7. I will build you a 12v AC unit that will do 6000 btu at 29 amps @ 12vdc

8. Thanks for doing this video…we're doing research on this very unit. Great demonstration.

9. I am wondering if the solar panels would be sufficient to power the device during the day, even if it cannot charge the battery simultaneously. The reason I ask is because during my time in Lanzarote, the heat inside the boat was unbearable during the day, but it was quite pleasant at night and didn't require cooling down.
   It would also seem to me to be an inefficient way of having it plumbed in if is constantly removing the heat and humidity from the outside air, would it not be better to have the air recycled from inside the cabin a bit like you can set on a cars airconditioning.

10. I've just got a discount code through from EcoFlow and it seems there are some great extra savings coming up for Black Friday as well so if you're interested it looks like a good time to buy so take a look at the link in the description (there's a link in the EcoFlow Max video for that as well)

11. I’m only half way through the video and I haven’t read all the comments, but something you said around the 8:15 mark got my attention, and not in a good way. You said that it has a mechanism to splash condensation back into the airstream. In my understanding of a/c ( I lived on the swampy gulf coast of Texas for almost 30 years) the last thing you want is the humidity put back in the air. For at least 2 reasons: 1. Dryer air feels cooler against the skin. 2. Damp air takes more energy to cool, so why do it over and over?. 3. Damp air makes or keeps fabrics damp (think bed sheets) 4. Damp air promotes the growth of mould. If I owned a machine like that, the first thing I would do is disable that splash/ recycle feature you mentioned. Get that air dry and cool, that’s the meaning of air “conditioning” it’s not just air cooling.

12. Oh good. That makes more sense. That’s actually quite clever. Thanks for clarifying that.

13. I have a sailboat and finding the right a/c and a functional setup is difficult. This looks like a great setup ! Finding the right home and venting for the unit needs to be thought out and doable. Hatch type units are not available,potential R/V units fitted to the a hatch may work ? The other option is a permanent A/C unit in , accurate placement will be the key.

14. On the US link, I cannot seem to find the AC unit you show. Is it EU exclusive?

15. Good one. I’ll buy one of those. I just have to figure where best to use it. I sleep in the fwd cabin (highish bunk) so can make a slide in shelf underneath with built in exhaust pipes. That’s in the short term. In the longer term i can use most of the mechanism as is but have a heat exchanger added, for water cooling, by those who know what they are doing. The thing is that air conditioners that operate at 250 watts are like hens teeth, so the guts of this machine are special.

16. Elegant compact cooling system for the Tropics. Marvelous demo on this lovely system. Thank you so much for sharing.

17. If you have enough solar and lithium storage a residential mini split would be a better option. I’ve seen them on cruising yachts recently with the condensing unit on the deck and covered when moving . Cycling on and off too often is classic oversizing .

18. Can this unit stay outside (is it “rain proof”)? We are trying to find a good way to use it on our boat in Grenada (hot and humid) and haven’t quite found the perfect way. I would prefer for it to be outside of the cabin but recognize that next to frequent rain squalls, we would also have to find a way for it to use the inside air, cool it and then send it back in. Also : don’t underestimate the weight of the unit with the battery attached. Taking it out, moving it around etc. Takes a bit of work.
