Description of System Function

Charging Cycle (Chilling Mode)

ATTENTIONThe BlueCool control system has a built-in delayed operation feature. The engine must run 1/2 hour continuously or plugged into a 120VAC 20A power source (Hybrid Only) before the BlueCool Truck system will begin the charging cycle operation.

While driving the truck, the alternator generates 12V DC power that is increased to 120VAC by the power inverter. If the truck is parked and equipt with the Hybrid option, the system can also be plugged into a 120VAC 20A power source. This voltage drives the electric refrigeration compressor of the BlueCool Truck system.

The electrically driven refrigeration system freezes the water retained in a patented graphite-matrix cold storage medium within the storage unit. The storage unit is considered fully charged (chilled) in approximately 6 hours of engine on or connect to land based power.

Operation is fully automatic. No attention to the BlueCool Unit is required during the charging mode by the vehicle operator.

Components of the BlueCool system are monitored by an electronic control unit (ECU) in combination with temperature sensors and a 12 volt, “ignition reference” signal.

When plugged into 120VAC 20A power source (Hybrid Only) a 30A AC/DC charger will trickle charge the vehicle batteries. A 20A GFCI outlet is also available (Hybrid Only). For “Hotel Load” information refer to page(s) 16-17 for further information.

Discharge Cycle (Sleeper Cooling Mode)

The chilled coolant mixture is circulated by way of a small coolant pump from the storage unit to the air handler unit (heat exchanger) in the cab and back to the storage unit.

The air handler fans draw in warm bunk area air and forces it across the exchanger where it gives up it’s heat to the chilled mixture circulating through the exchanger. The cooled air is returned to the bunk area of the vehicle through four adjustable openings on the air handler.

Whenever the vehicle engine is switched off, the discharge cycle (sleeper cooling) is automatically available on demand to the vehicle operator when ready to sleep. Two control dials are provided for climate control within the sleeper area. One controls fan speed and the other controls the temperature to maintain a desired comfort level between 68 and 78 degrees Fahrenheit.

(Hybrid Version Only)

The air handler controller can be used at anytime with the key on/off or Shorepower on/off. With the ignition on or Shorepower on, the bunk controls will operate indefinitely (will shut down when controller senses an ignition / Shorepower input disrupt.) Discharge will switch off automatically after 10 hours if the engine is off or not connected to Shorepower.

Operating the BlueCool Truck Hybrid System in Sleeper Cooling Mode

ATTENTIONAir handler controls can be operated with the engine on or off.

The discharge of the cold storage unit is controlled by the air handler controls.

1. Adjust the blower speed by turning the fan control knob (A) to the desired setting. Turning the fan control knob (A) in a clockwise direction increases the blower speed. Whenever the fan control knob is turned on, the green LED (C) will illuminate.

2. Turn the temperature control knob (B) to the desired comfort setting. Turning the temperature control knob (B) in a clockwise direction lowers the temperature output.

The BlueCool system is not designed to cool down a hot cab and sleeper.

With the controls set to maximum, the duration of available cooling will be shortened as the storage of cold energy will be quickly consumed. If the system is connected to land based power, it will be able to maintain cooler temperatures indefinitely. If it is connected to land based power (Hybrid system only) after the storage core has been exhausted of all cooling ability, there will be a short time before the air handler will begin cycling cooler air. This time period is dependent on variables such as outside temperature, interior cab temperature, direct sunlight, etc.... The air handler left in the on position will help to vent the cab in extreme hot conditions until the cooler air begins to flow.

For optimum performance the cab and sleeper should be pre-cooled with the vehicles air conditioning system before switching over to the BlueCool system. To further enhance the cooling of the sleeper, close in the bunk area as much as possible by lowering the upper bunk if equipped and using a divider curtain between the sleeper and the cab.

3. The example to the right illustrates one of many variable settings achievable for a personalized comfort zone. The BlueCool system will maintain a temperature range of 68 to 78 degrees Fahrenheit within the immediate area of the operator.

Air Circulation ModeThe BlueCool system can be operated in the air circulation mode when air circulation without additional cooling is desired.

1. Turn the temperature control knob (B) fully counterclockwise to the off position.

2. Operate the fan control knob (A) in the usual manner. The green LED (C) will be illuminated.

Please be aware of the following key points during Shore Power system function.

• Engine on or Shore Power plugged in, after 30 minutes the BCT control unit will begin the charge cycle of the BCT unit; if needed. (charge is based on the ambient temperature > 55°F ± 5°and temperature inside the storage core > 30°F)

• The BCT controller will allow the user to operate in discharge mode at the same time the unit is charging.

• Discharge mode run-time is unlimited if the engine is on or Shore Power is connected to a land based power grid. There is a 10 hour shut-off limit during discharge mode if either of these two conditions do not exist.

• Any power interruption due to a power loss, (i.e. Shore Power is unplugged and engine is started or turned off) the operator will need to physically cycle the fan control switch to the “OFF” position then back to the desired fan speed level for discharge mode to restart. This is a built in protection feature to prevent the system from being left “ON” when unnecessary.

• Shore Power must always be unplugged prior to an engine start. Failure to do so will require the operator to reset the power inverter one of two ways: Cycle vehicle ignition off then back on or cycle power switch on power inverter.

• If the BCT unit is completely discharged (unable to maintain cooling of the cab), there will be a short amount of time before the air handler will begin cycling cooler air. This time period is dependent on many variables such as outside ambient temperature, interior cab temperature, direct sunlight, etc.... The air handler left in the on position will help to vent a cab in extremely hot conditions until the cooler air begins to flow.

• If the interior 20A receptacle is not working, first check the GFCI receptacle itself by resetting the trip feature on the front face. If this was not the issue, check if the circuit breaker was tripped. The circuit breaker is the on / off switch located on the front of the Shore Power Box typically mounted inside the storage compartment.

• Due to system design, the 20A receptacle and 30A charger are only active while the Hybrid system is connected to land based power.

Coolant Circulation System

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD PURE WATER BE ALLOWED TO ENTER THE BLUECOOL COOLANT SYSTEM!

Doing so will not ensure proper mixing with antifreeze which will lead to ice formation in the storage unit and possible damage to internal components. ALWAYS purchase and use a 50/50 premixed glycol based automotive antifreeze where possible. If a premixed antifreeze is not available, a pure antifreeze mixed with water at a 50/50 ratio may be used as long as it is thoroughly premixed BEFORE filling the system. DO NOT rely on the coolant circulation system to mix water and antifreeze.

• Check coolant level in the coolant reservoir located on the outside, back wall of the sleeper. Coolant level should be between 1/2 to 3/4 full. If necessary, top up level with a premixed 50/50 glycol based automotive antifreeze.

• Check coolant freeze protection strength. Must be between –25°... –35° F (–31°... –37° C).

• Inspect coolant circulation system for signs of leakage. Tighten hose clamps if applicable. Damaged hoses must be replaced. Repairs or servicing of the coolant circulation system and coolant pump should be repaired by an authorized repair facility.

• The circulation system will require bleeding of trapped air after repair or replacement of system components. Only a properly trained technician with the required knowledge of the BlueCool Truck system should undertake this procedure.

Mechanical

• Periodically inspect the fasteners of the brackets to the frame and to the Refrigeration / Cold Storage unit for looseness. The fasteners are equipped with special two-piece anti-vibration washers. Should any fasteners become loose, have a technician retighten all mounting fasteners to 163.0 Nm (120 lb-ft.) torque.

• Inspect the entire BlueCool Truck system for signs of loose wiring and coolant system components. Secure as necessary with appropriate wire ties and P-clips.
