Rockford,ILL,USA -PRWEB -June 22, 2009: -- Bergstrom Inc., a global leader in the design and supply of climate systems to the commercial vehicle industry, has developed a new battery-powered air conditioning system, designed specifically for day cabs... The NITE® Day Cab No-Idle System was developed in response to growing demand for solutions to reduce idling in the day cab industry, as well as increasing Federal, State and local regulations against truck idling... How it works: The NITE Day Cab No-Idle System utilizes one or two deep-cycle absorbed glass mat (AGM) batteries to power the air conditioning system. This keeps the driver cool when the truck's engine is turned off. To assure there is sufficient battery power to start the truck, the starting batteries are protected from discharge by a separator... Fuel consumption: The reduced fuel consumption savings offered by the NITE Day Cab No-Idle System are impressive. When the system is in the air-conditioning mode, no fuel is used as the Bergstrom NITE Plus system uses deep-cycle AGM battery power. With the optional heating unit, only 0.05 gallons per hour are consumed. The battery is charged by the truck's alternator during normal operation... Labels: truckmakers' news USA
