- ** I made a mistake in this video. I say it's running at 2000 BTUs and can be turned up from there. It's actually producing 4000BTUs and can be turned up over 5000 Power numbers are correct of course so it's twice as efficient.**
Today's long-awaited video takes a look at Clark's home-built off-grid air conditioner, which we run off of batteries and solar alone.
Would you guys like a video showing me installing and building this?

Survey done- I love your videos on how to- and all the other ones too. Definitely interested and looks simple enough for the average Joe for the DIY part. Keep them coming and stay healthy both of you. Cheers from Montreal
I saw where a person ended up grafting a mini split onto their boat. They made a cabinet to cover the outside unit to make it look better but was still able to ventilate. Their draw was 850 watts to cool and it came with a soft start to make it run from an inverter.
Very nice of you both for sharing your knowledge and helping boaters
Love the proof of concept! Thanks for posting this and the potential to acquire the goodies to make our own. I filled out the survey and I'd be open to all 3 choices... The DIY Kit may be the most versatile as I plan to apply it to my Class B Sprinter van RV for my land adventures. My pup/co-pilot will appreciate this when I have to leave him in the van on occasion. Boat comes soon... 2022!
Clark, this is fantastic. Thank you for the video and the effort in bringing these to life. Cheers.
The time slots I wish everyone did... saving precious time is essential! That's the first time I've seen a survey on a CZcams video so that's pretty cool thank you for the time you shared with us. And looks like a really small unit! The amps and the Watts and it uses is incredible but you already knew that
Living in Vermont... this strikes in my heart
Looks great - I'd want one in a boat in the tropics for sure!
Man that’s amazing Clark. And I was a professional mechanic and ac was part of my expertise.
great system, I had a 16,000BTU heat pump Marine Aire unit, using a 12v raw sea water pump to circulate water over the condenser copper lines to remove the heat. This kept our 32' Sea ray sundancer entire cabin nice and cool when it was 95 degrees outside. The condensate would drain thru a tube into shower drain compartment with auto float switch.
I like watching your channel because your the type of guy that figures stuff out!
He's Clark. He's knows stuff. Kryptonians...theyre like that...
Great stuff, would love to see a video of building and installing this
Fantastic video. This is great. We sail in Norway so not essential equipment - but I want one simply because of your enthusiasm ;-).
System looks great there and so efficient! I just wished I lived where I would need to use A/C more than 3 days a year :(
This is a pretty awesome project. If I ever figure out how to clear out enough room on my little sailboat I'll check back in.
Amazing you are the first to look at s all room AC on boats that I efficient enough to run on batt power sourcing parts and developing a working model makes you a genius cheers to you
This is extremely cool and I hope your offering this when I'm finally able to buy my boat and hit the water. I'm about a year out from that yet finances willing and would definitely be interested in two or even three of these units for different spaces on my boat. As long as it isn't to crazy expensive that is. This would also help me when I can finally buy my dream in being able to pick a boat that may not already have AC on it and could save me a ton of money. So thank you for making this offering and like I said I hope it's around in a year or so when I know exactly what I need. Fair Winds and Safe Travels, God Bless...
Pun intended?
I am in a very similar situation. Think several smaller units would be better.
Congratulations on your thinking abilities.
Thanks.
They are available at marineDCAC.com
Looks great Clark, the head of the opposition said if we buy a boat she wants AC, so gotta make it happen
When you get the boat she gets promoted to Admiral, you're the able bodied seaman.
"Head of the opposition." Never heard that one, love it. Will be using that.😂
Clark, fantastic thinking and inventing! I love it! I have a 1973 Challenger 32 that I live on in Florida (St Pete). I have a really old Marine-Aire unit that was working 2 months ago, but has a leak. I'm planning my cruising for next year and looking at a new Dometic keel cooler unit (12-16k btu) but then I'm stuck on shore power or a generator or my inverter. I've got 200 watts solar now but could go as much as 800-1000. I'm also ready to pull the trigger on LiFePo batteries. I've filled out the survey, please keep me posted!
Getting started on this project ASAP!
I always enjoy your videos and find it hard to believe that you guys don’t have over 100k subs yet. You produce good content and also information on what the sailing life is really like. Good luck and safe travels.
Thanks.
I am getting discouraged about our view numbers. Other channels with fewer subscribers get 5 times our views.
Maybe we should just film kittens and puppies.
@@EmilyAndClark You've said it yourself, other channels do entertainment - you are creating a treasure trove of educational content. Your videos are targeted at those already living a sailing life or who are serious about doing so one day. This community will keep going back to your videos as a library of indispensable knowledge. Please don't get discouraged by the numbers - and know that you're creating 100 times more value than kittens and puppies. Keep up the good work!
@@EmilyAndClark I've seen those other boating adventures where they literally hire young 19 year old models in string bikinis to dance around on the deck. Throwing champagne in the ocean...laughing drunk. lol, you two are too responsible, too crafty, too serious.....those other boating vessels are FAKE, yours shows reality. better to have a good solid normal subscriber base.
The quality of your viewer market can easily trump the quantity of eyeballs simply seeking entertainment. You said yourself that you weren’t interested in creating a business these days. They are. They have a sailing entertainment show business and must keep up the entertainment value with puppies, bikinis, exotic locations galore etc. It’s how they are making a living. Seemingly you already did all that business stuff and set it up so now you get to make only the videos you want to make without the pressure of feeding your “video monster”. …. Just saying.
@@EmilyAndClark IF you want more views…
You just need to be more playful with the thumbs.
The thumbnail picture should be an overhead picture of you lying in bed uncomfortable.
The text on the thumb should be: Stop sleeping in your sweat.
That alone will double your clicks.
The video title needs to be expanded to "Battery-Powered Air Conditioning on a sailboat."
The content is great!
Don’t change a thing with that.
Just have more fun with your thumbnails.
I Love the concept, and I have to agree, that sleeping comfortably in the tropics, or subtropics is quite the challenge on a boat, or offgrid. I have filled out your survey to possibly adapt it to RV boondocking, or grid down scenario. I'm also looking to install on a small boat to camp in while in The Keys. Kudos for sharing your innovations...
I am very interested in the concept and product, but it will be at least a year before I would want to install one. I will check back after I purchase a boat!
Keep up the good work on these awesome videos!
Looks great. I want one! filling out your survey now!
I´m really interested in this option (and has filled in the form), but I also contemplate an even simpler version where one can attach tubes to and from one or two sleeping bags and only cool and dehumidify the air inside the sleeping bags.
Clark, first off I'm not trying to step on your turf. I'm "retired" too. What follows is a story of air conditioners on boats. I think it may be worth a read.
I'm in Texas and kept a roomy old 23 sailboat on a lake here. My wife and I loved spending the weekends out on the boat spending nights at anchor in a cove. On summer nights it became intolerable for her. One summer I took a sabbatical (semi-voluntary) from working and spent a lot of time on the docks. I'm a geek, lots of physics/chem schooling, and was pondering how to cool my boat w/o running a genset. One day I got a new slip-neighbor. Nice guy, we became friends (i.e., I recruited him as racing crew). Turns out he owns a small air conditioner company building specialized industrial AC units. Interesting...
I pestered him with questions about component availability and told him what I was considering. Did he know companies I could look to for components? The next weekend he showed up with a box of the parts I had asked about basically just a heater coil, blower, and a certain type of mechanical thermometer. I built what I later learned is called an ice bank air conditioner. I filled an insulated tub with lots of ice and pumped water over the ice with a tiny live well pump. The mechanical thermometer cycled the pump on and off to maintain a water temperature of about 50F flowing through the "heater" coil. The blower blew cool air into the V-berth. Using that small blower this would provide cooler and dehumidified air to make the 90F Texas nights tolerable for about 6 hours on 50 pounds of ice using one AGM battery that also ran the anchor light. This was the days before lithium.
Not high tech but it worked and I shared my math with my new friend. He responded with a job offer. I signed on and went to air conditioner school. 25 years later as a partner in the business we received an offer we could not refuse and sold the business, retired in my 50s. That offer was significantly inspired by the self contained lithium powered AC system I had designed.
Naturally there is a non-compete and IP I sold so there is much I cannot discuss. What I can say is that you are on the right track. What you really want to do is better manage your air flow so you can eliminate the fans. Using an efficient BLDC blower that runs whenever the system is on and only cycling the compressor as needed is more efficient. Sleeping in a boat you only need cool air to the face and upper extremities to be comfortable (enough). Think of where a car AC blows, face and hands. Cooling the walls and ceiling do not add comfort but you are totally correct that the air must be constantly moving. BLDC blowers aren't cheap but from China they are less than two $100+ fans and use less power.
There must also be _some_ source of fresh air. Humans exhale 20,000-ish PPM CO2 (top of my head number) and begin to show symptoms (drowsiness, discomfort) at about 1,500 PPM. you don't need much fresh air but in a sealed space you need some. If you turn your car onto "Recirc" is still pulls in that minimum. Remember it was CO2 abundance, not O2 deprivation, that almost killed the Apollo 13 astronauts
I have chartered cruising boats that used automotive style compressors belt driven from the engine to keep the fridge cold plates frozen with a few hours of engine time in the morning. If I were outfitting a cruising boat today I would seriously consider using a similar system to freeze water for cooling cabins later in the evening. Webasto in Europe markets a system like this for use in the sleeper compartments of big semitrucks after a long day of driving. Those components may well be appropriate for use on a yacht.
For me the fascination with ice bank air conditioning stems from the simplicity of rejecting heat when energy is abundant and absorbing heat when it is scarce, kind of like a battery but without so many inefficiencies. Yes, low temp refrigeration is less efficient that high temp AC but that is offset by use of a water cooled condenser. I might consider using a more efficient brazed plate heat exchanger for a condenser and a secondary coolant loop to put the heat into seawater, but that may be overthinking the issue.
Application specific observations: The block type TXV in your air handler is poorly calibrated for your compressor capacity (if it is calibrated at all, most are junk). United Refrigeration dealers can help you choose a better one.
The small compressor you are using contains little lubricant. If air conditioning a V-berth or other area further from the compressor consider using a _properly sized_ oil separator before the condenser to prevent oil starvation. Adding extra oil to the system must be done with real caution. There is more than fits here to that subject.
I will look into improving the expansion valve.
@@EmilyAndClark With a good externally equalized high temp valve, 7-ish degrees superheat (Sporlan brand, right refrigerant and capacity) you may be able to run your compressor more slowly and are far less likely to have the compressor fail early.
military contractor makes compressors with inadequate oil system?
@@briansb2455 this unit is not the original milspec one. It is a Chinese reproduction at about 1/4 the price of the original. Still quite efficient, but not a $1200 compressor.
Brilliant idea, filling out the survey now.
Great Job. I’m interested too! I’ve built regular units but I’m fascinated by the little compressor. I’ve put a lot of thought into solar a/c for my sailboat too. You did an awesome job of making it.
Thanks. Fill out the survey if you want to be in the loop.
If I had a sailboat I'd be in like Flynn. I've been cracking my head for a solution like this.
I really like the full DIY option, and I would go so far as saying separating the parts so someone could purchase just what they need would be handy as well. For example: someone may want to buy a couple compressors and condensers, but use different evaporators. I am very interested in the compressor alone, because I have a different plan for using it.
Make sure you fill out the survey. That's how you will know when it's available.
This looks great ! I am definitely signing up to get one, I hope you get enough people to put this into production !!
Nice Job Clark. Yes I want one. Have completed your survey.
Cheers from the Philippines 🇵🇭
Battery powered AC really wasn't practical until just the last few years, good job, enjoy!
I need this. I want it, it's 4:44am and I'm pouring sweat, my bed is destroyed, if I don't get one people in space will be able to smell me.
I've been in Florida for 21 years and I have not acclimated (acclamation is a myth). I don't know which kit I would use, but if it's a bucket of parts the bucket will need drainage or it will fill with sweat before I'm done putting it together.
Yes Florida is special. I've lived there as well. It gets cooler as you go south of key west.
The DIY will be available first. Fill out the survey in the description to stay in the loop.
Was born here, never acclimated in 40 years. Completely agree.
Born in florida sitting on an a/c vent.
Really just amazing. Can't wait to have access to the kit.
I've completed the survey. ;-)
Just filled out your survey thanks for your time
Hi Clark just subscribed you look like a great channel. Your AC vid is super interesting. I am thinking you should also connect to the #van life community as many are searching for something similar and like sail boats space and electrical consumption is at a premium. Most van people have insulated their vans so your unit would be really interesting. Most van self builders would probably do some of the assembly but not complicated wiring etc although some are brainiacs and could assemble a spacecraft in their garage hahaha
Thanks for subscribing. Feel free to mention us anywhere or send out links. We'd appreciate the new viewers.
I was here looking for ideas for a cooler for my dog for when he comes out in the van with me 😉
The intro music reminded me of The Red Green Show. If the ladies don’t find you handsome they’ll find you handy.
Clark you are the man! You might remember that you helped me rig up a mast head tri light with only two wires and a couple of diodes added to the light. Circa 2000 in Mexico. We used that light for years until LED's were available. I love this AC idea. We could have used it in Borneo/Malaysia/Thailand. Though we survived without AC at anchor. SV Green Ghost. Great to see you again!
Glad that helped.
Are you still cruising?
@@EmilyAndClark We cruised from 2000-2004 Vancouver - Australia. Then relaunched in 2008 in Australia while I worked there for a couple of years. We left OZ for Indonesia/Thailand in 2010 and by 2017 we arrived back in Canada via South Africa. Back to work in 2017 but managed a three month break on Great Lakes this summer. Getting a new engine, paint job, another sail - etc. You know the drill. More cruising for sure. We've done about 40,000 miles. We need a break from cruising every 5 years to reset our brains and do something else. Anyone tuning in to your channel who reads this - BEST THING EVER! Go cruising.
Really cool :-) Thanks the both of you for sharing . Sail safe
REVIVE THE KIT - Are there people viewing here interested in having this 'kit' revived including a channel/user group? Respond to my comment.
Yes we do.
Yes!
Parts for the kit are coming from the manufacturers now. New products on the way
Check out MarineDCAC.com to get on a mailing list and as soon as parts come in it will become an order page.
Yes to your question what ever it is your saying lol
I hear one more week and the kits will be available again.
Clark I want one: plan 3, maybe 2... but alternatively, is it possible to make it portable (galley daytime, berth nighttime)?
You need to fill out the survey to be informed. We are building a webpage now.
I don't think you would want that as you would have to move the water lines. But to do that you would get the kit (which will be available first) and set it up any way you want.
Personally I'd just duct the air. There are 4 flanges on the air handler you can connect to duct work.
You're going about this in a thoughtful way with the survey. 👍
There will be a webpage soon where I'll keep progress updated.
Great idea Clark! That sounds perfect for my aft cabin. I want one. There is not a lot of room but I have a place in mind where it might fit. I’ll need dimensions when you get that far. Thanks!
You have to fill out the survey in the description. I have no way to contact you otherwise.
I’m interested in the pricing structure, please.
Fill out the survey and once I find sources for the components (not easy) I'll post a price somewhere.
Me too. I was almost done with the survey and att's cell signal just stopped, happens all of the time. I'll get back what I can n start all over.
Same ;) Filled out the Survey :)
Completed the survey. Great video!! Thanks Clark!!
Great share I’m from the Pacific Northwest and I just ont think I could handle year around hot weather but it’s so beautiful in the tropics 👍👍
Absolutely Brilliant the thinking you have been doing and the mission you went to find what you thought was invented. I literally just saw a company come out with a 12 volt. Must me the same as you were thing. You have an awesome mind to create. I love hearing ideas they are exciting to grow on. 👍
So far I haven't seen any competition that is close in efficiency. Unless, of course, you found this company MarineDCAC.com
Thanks
as always love yalls videos and glad to see yall are doing good
The Scirocco 2 fan is excellent had 6 of them installed since 2017 still going strong. Not expensive for that level of quality
Clark, I want one. I'll be buying a boat this winter/spring, and yes.. I want one.
I'm saving this video, I'll email you after I start adding gadgetry.
Just found y'all. Exceptional channel. Should have a million subscribers.
Thanks, I'd love to have more subscribers. Please tell your friends and share video links.
Awesome idea. Thanks for sharing it. 👍👍
What a great channel...you guys are truly "givers"! Thanks!!!
You're very welcome
Newly subscribed. I love this video ! I'm not great with the back and forth from C to F (I'm 71), but you are fun, and i like engineer inventor energy!
Clark I want one for sure, just did survey . Great job.
Great.
I'm working hard on how to make this happen.
This guy is a very smart cookie I love your work...mad scientist at the very best way
Great video. I’m Offgrid and my 5000 btu Air conditioner uses about 38-40amps and I have enough solar to cover that it needs a lot of battery for the night so this would be a cool option for night time.
Fantastic work Clark
Clark, I want one! I have a land sail boat, some folks call it an RV. I can totally see this working with taking the edge off at night. It's a tiny one and an older one that has a massive following made by Toyota! So excited, this is awesome
Have you filled out the survey yet?
@@EmilyAndClark I'm filling it out as we speak!
Hi Clark, this is just amazing. We are moving back onto our boat in Greece having just had our first baby, and the only thing holding us back is the heat in the boat at night! We have a beautiful CT41 ketch but she retains the days heat so much, its like a sauna at night, so we completely agree with you on this as an issue! Now we have a newborn to look after as well so we are very very keen to get a hold of one of these! Sadly though, we will have to address our battery bank and solar first... Still in the dark ages with the Lead Acid bats...
Thanks Matt
The AC units are now available at MarineDCAC.com once you get your system up to scratch.
Do you know about my BankManagerPlus?
www.emilyandclarksadventure.com/bbms
It and a Lifepo4 battery or two and you are good to go. No need to change anything in your charging system.
One month away from owning a 1972 Bristol 38 and I really enjoy your videos. As soon as Im a sailboat owner I'll be more than a subscriber. Im hoping for 800W of solar and 2x 18KW banks of 48v LIF04 batteries. Once I get that dialed in I am going to want to discuss AC & refrigeration with you. Keep up the great work.
Thanks Jay,
You are going to love the heavy boat. None of that flimsy modern plastic for us right?
I've been searching for this for our project hunter..... you. Are. Brilliant. ... flipping amazing!! Well done!
Thanks.
I just installed the first production unit in a friend's boat. Went well. It's at the end of this playlist.

This is great. From what I've seen out there, a brilliant ground breaking innovation. I've been cramming to learn about solar. I use thermo dynamics to cool my house. I heat one room in winter to save money. My body prefers a warmer climate. I've lived around the world. Always need a way to cool off to survive though.
I might end up living in a box truck I'm working on, needs some help, 75 Dodge CB300, but in a boat in Florida or NC would be great. Might end up in a subterranean hovel in the desert. I'm somewhat disabled, rehabbing from a brutal life. I see a lot of people who could use this, just to make a cool place to survive. I'm very handy, but not too smart on AC systems or electrical. I test as genius, but I know I'm stupid in some areas, lol. Brilliant in others. If this is dependent on a massive source of water that would limit the possibilities, if not the applications could be huge, wide and deep. I know I'm going to need this. Don't know if I'm going to be able to afford it for some time. I have an idea what the battery and solar system will cost.
I think if your system creates dry air, a small evap system could cool as augmentation, but there goes the dry air, poof, lol.If it dries efficiently enough, using with seperate evaporative cooling might be synergistic (just need a fan and water flow, which is low volume and can be done by gravity by suspended tank) though usually that sort of synergy gets blocked by reality of physics, but sometimes it can be great. If your system would work in a desert with a small water tank, the combination would be almost a no brainer.
Thanks. Nice of you to say and astute of you to notice.
Yes it can work with air cooling. You need to spend more power on a fan and the compressor needs to work harder though.
No the swamp cooler doesn't help.
You should look at the chemical dehumidifier AC that "Tech Ingredients" showed in his video. I think you might really like to watch that.
I remember when that compressor came out about 11 years ago. I was blue back then, I can't recall the name of the company that sold it, but it was extremely expensive going for $1,200 just for the compressor alone. The capacity was incredible and was advertised as being able to run an AC and well as a refrigeration system at the same time. Also, setting it up to run was rumored to be beyond the ability of the average person. China came out with a black knock off which runs for about $200 which looks a lot like the model you have. The key I think is to have it pre-charged and on a skid ready to be connected to pre-charged lines like the Cool Blue refrigeration system.
wonderful solution engineering Clark!! I bought one!
You really have some interesting videos and interesting concepts and you are showing a working model of these concepts for us to see. Thanks n keep up the good work!
Thank you. Please pass links to friends.
We seem to have come up with a channel that lots of people subscribe to but few watch. We say we make vegetables. People like to think they will eat what's good for them but in the end they just go to desert.
If we don't get more viewers soon I'm going to start filming puppies.
@@EmilyAndClark sure... Any way keep up the good work.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing this.
We’d love one! Even in the summer it’s fairly cool in the evenings here on the west coast of Florida but we have plans to cruise further south so we will need something! We’d like the fully assembled and charged unit.
Yes… I filled out the survey!
That's awesome!!!!!
Thanks for sharing.
Just found your channel. Excellent!
Thank you for the info, big help.
Awesome Clark. I want one.
You guys are so helpful…. I want a boat FIRST! Then I will get your kit!
Clark, I want one, precharged. Awesome system. Probably cool my whole (28' on deck) boat that was insulated for Northern climes.
Did you fill out the survey?
Clark Great job. I do not have a boat but when I get one I will want one.
Yes interested in A/C, first option - lots of parts. Sending in the survey form now.
Wow!!!!! This can change my boating life
Great air conditioner Clark, Hope it all works out for you, And if you would like to expand the demographics you could always talk to campers, Or even camper manufacturers they would probably be very interested
Those small rotary compressors are compact, but the linear compressor while bulkier are even more efficient.
I was googling 'water medium mini-split a couple days ago, and all kinds of variations to see if anyone used water to pass cold from compressor to indoor unit and found nothing. Then youtube recommended this, and I see someone has done it! I was thinking antifreeze, but salt water can go below 0F, good enough for a/c, but not so much for a freezer.
Sign me up for any of the three options. I love the idea and the approach. Good inventing sir!
Thanks. To sign up fill in the survey found in the description.
Definitely want a video showing installing and building
This is very interesting, survey completed. I would definitely be interested in a unit, maybe two, so hopefully you will decide to bring something to market.
Definitely interested - something I have been trying to zone in on for awhile - as much for dehumidifying the boat interior at dock side as well.
Fill in the survey. Should have info soon.
I want one! Great job love your videos. Keep um coming!
Fill out the survey. I contracted that out to concentrate in my BBMS project. Guy says the last of the parts will be in in December.
Love this video thanks for sharing
clarj i said no in the survey, but i want the box of parts! thank you so much for the best vids on the tube lol
Just fill out the survey again. I'll use the last entry
Nice1 Clarke, looking after us
Clark nice job. Yes Do want one. I’m interested in the semi diy kit precharged. Thanks for your efforts.as an aside I’m already using Lithium
Did you fill out the survey saying so?
I'm currently building a cargo trailer to camper conversion, we decided to use a Pioneer Mini-Split. We will know in a couple weeks about the wattage numbers and efficiencies. Specs show about 330 watts on the lowest setting, and about 1300 watts on highest. If we can't dial it down low enough to run on solar, we will order one of your systems to add as a sustainable 24/7 system!
Great Videos!!!
I use a Pioneer mini split at my house. Good piece of gear.
Very serious Clark. Filled out form under jack r
Looks great and I will want one as soon as the boat is a reality. Happy to look at any of the 3 options
It's now available at MarineDCAC.com

If you want to get one you have to fill out the survey. Link in the description.
Hi Clark, I love your how-to videos! :) I'm kinda a maxed-out geek myself.
Clark, I want one. Either option 2 or 3 works for me.using the CZcams app on my iPad and I don’t see the survey option so can’t fill it out. Let me know if I’m missing something or what else I can do. Looks like a near perfect solution that a lot of us are looking for. Thanks!
I do need you to fill out the survey. I can't run through comments and I don't have your email.
