Hi all,
I have a little project on my hands and I will go into a little detail to help everyone better understand. I built a mobile boutique out of a shuttle bus for my fiancé to run her business out of. There is a large rooftop air conditioner on top of the roof for cooling and the compressor is ran of the diesel engine. In our application that doesn't work the best because the motor is usually of when the air conditioner is needed. I would like to power the air conditioner compressor with an electric motor. I already have a 12VDC inverter large enough to run all the air conditioner equipment except for the compressor. I would like some help sizing the electric motor needed to run just the compressor - i have attached a chart (via hyperlink) with what I think would be needed to size the motor. I know a couple things would important - RPMs, HP, and motor pulley size - the pulley size on the compressor is 5.3 inches in diameter.
