Red Dot Corp. now offers Sleeping Well battery-powered auxiliary air-conditioning systems through its network of warehouse distributors in Canada and the United States. Sleeping Well systems are sold as complete aftermarket installation kits that fit almost any commercial vehicle. The all-electric AC systems can maintain a cool, comfortable cab and sleeper environment while the truck engine is turned off, burning no fuel and producing no emissions and little noise. They require no regular maintenance. Red Dot will offer two Sleeping Well models: the wall-mounted high-capacity Arctic 2000 (Red Dot model No. R-1200-0p) for sleeper-equipped tractors and the roof-mounted OBLO (R-1205-0p) for straight trucks and other applications. Both units are made by Indel B of Italy. The Arctic 2000 provides up to 6,150 Btu/hr of cooling. It’s a three-piece system: an evaporator (mounts on the inside of the sleeper); condenser (mounts on the exterior of the sleeper); and compact under-bunk compressor unit. The OBLO provides up to 3,250 Btu/hr of cooling and involves a simple through-the-roof installation on most trucks. It is self-contained and pre-charged with R134a—just connect power. The OBLO consumes 29 amp/hr (max)-15 amp/hour (min). www.reddotcorp.com
