What is a mini bus HVAC system?

A mini bus HVAC system is a climate control system for minibuses. Its particularity lies in the fact that minibuses have a larger range of spaces. They can be less than 28 seats or less than 8 seats. For a relatively large space like 28 seats, a minibus air conditioner model with a large cooling capacity is required. For a smaller space like 8 seats and in countries where the ambient temperature is not hot, an electric air conditioner, also known as a parking air conditioner, can also be selected.

Which AC is used in a bus?

The basic principle of bus air conditioners is similar to that of household air conditioners, but the actual appearance and design are very different. Bus air conditioners are integrated designs and are installed on the top of the bus.
Traditional bus air conditioners are specially installed on diesel buses. Its power source is the engine of the bus. The engine and compressor are connected by a belt. When the bus is running, the engine drives the bus air conditioner compressor to run together. Then the compression-condensation-expansion-evaporation cycle is completed to achieve the cooling effect.
Electric bus air conditioners are specially installed on pure electric buses. Its power source is the high voltage electricity between DC 280-700 of the electric bus. The compressor is driven by electricity to complete the refrigeration cycle.
Minibuses are special because of their large space range. If the space is large, electric bus air conditioners with large cooling capacity or engine air conditioners with large cooling capacity must be used. If the passenger space is not large and the ambient temperature is not high, you can also choose to install 1~2 electric minibus aircon. This is also called parking air conditioners.

Do mini AC units exist?

This mini is relatively mini. Compared with bus air conditioners with super large cooling capacity, there are indeed some relatively mini air conditioners to choose from. However, the cooling capacity of this type of air conditioner is relatively low. You need to choose it based on the actual situation, otherwise the cooling effect will not be good and it will be very troublesome to replace it later.

How does a bus air conditioner work?

Bus air conditioning achieves heat transfer through the gas-liquid change of refrigerant. That is, it needs to absorb heat to change from liquid to gas, and it needs to release heat to change from gas back to liquid. It mainly relies on four core components:
1. Compressor: compress low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant into high-temperature and high-pressure gas.
2. Condenser: The high-temperature and high-pressure gas is dissipated by the fan here and converted into medium-temperature and high-pressure liquid, and the heat is released to the outside of the bus.
3. Expansion valve: The high-pressure liquid is reduced in pressure and temperature through a narrow channel and becomes a low-temperature and low-pressure gas-liquid mixture.
4. Evaporator: The low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant absorbs the heat of the air in the bus, evaporates into gas, and completes the refrigeration;
Minibus air conditioning unit is the same principle.

Who makes bus air conditioners in China?

The first manufacturer in the industry should be Shanghai SONGZ Bus Air Conditioner. It belongs to a well-established Chinese manufacturer, and its main direction is Chinese bus manufacturers such as Yutong, King Long, etc. They are well-known and more expensive. Generally, they only provide services to famous bus manufacturers.
TKT HVAC was established in 1998 and is one of the top 3 bus air conditioner manufacturers in China that exports overseas. We focus on overseas markets. Our products are sold to 85 regions and countries around the world. We have branches in India and other regions to facilitate global customers. We are the designated supplier of TATA motors and BYD, which are Fortune 500 companies. Whether it is a large bus manufacturer or an end user, we provide full-range expert services.

Who makes the best bus airconditioning system?

There is no best bus air conditioning. There is only the most suitable one. Because too much cooling capacity will lead to high energy consumption, waste of fuel and purchase costs. Therefore, the products we recommend are based on the actual situation of the customer’s bus and combined with the local temperature. Such products are the most balanced in terms of price, cooling effect and energy consumption.
