Instead, the best use for Zero Breeze would be at nights, when we’re in places where temperatures don’t drop very low at night time and it’s incredibly humid and uncomfortable to sleep in. Instead, we realized the best way we could use it in the campervan would be for night time use.ĭuring the daytime, we’re usually out exploring anyway, or driving in the van where the onboard AC keeps us plenty cool. The Zero Breeze is never going to keep a large space cold, especially when parked in sunlight where it’s being heated.Īt the same time, if you left it on for hours on end, it would drain a LOT of power. That’s when we realized something important: The unit was pumping out really cold air, and it was comfortable so long as you sat in front of it.

The front of our van is not separated, so the windows act as a sort of greenhouse.

There were 3 of us in the van (all emitting body heat/moving around).

Once your Zero Breeze is set up inside your van with the rear ducts properly venting to the outdoors, you're all set for an air-conditioned van!īefore hard-installing our unit, we tried it in Greece, just having the tubes coming out the window (sealed using the provided foam) and no it was not able to drastically cool the van. The Zero Breeze also produces slight condensation, so you'll have to be sure the condensation tube drips to a proper area either in or outside of your van upon installation. Otherwise, you are going to be fighting a losing battle, as the warm/hot air from outside will constantly be seeping into the space you are trying to cool. However, when using the Zero Breeze in an enclosed space like a campervan, you’ll need to make sure that the two rear ducts are pointing outside your van with a tight seal that allows no air to come in or out from outside, except via Zero Breeze! Of course, the other big way to use the Zero Breeze is to cool an enclosed space such as a tent or camper. It will then direct a jet of cold air through the front funnel, and you can sit directly in front of it in order to feel the benefit. In an open space, using the Zero Breeze Mark 2 is as simple as having cooled air at the press of a button. Okay, now that we’ve got all the technical mumbo jumbo out the way, let’s dig into how you actually use it! All of that hot air is evacuated to the outdoors through the help of the condenser coils, and a second fan in the machine.Įssentially, the Zero Breeze sucks in warm air using a fan, and its inner mechanisms create cool air to be released back into your campervan, while venting out the hot air. The hot air causes the refrigerant to change from a liquid to a gas, which creates cooled air.ĭuring the process of condensing the liquid to a gas, hot air is created.

Then, the hot air flows over the evaporator coils, and the refrigerant in the machine absorbs the hot air. Those are in addition to the special cooling agent the machine uses known as refrigerant.įirst, the Zero Breeze draws warm air into the unit through the front of the unit, using its centrifugal fan. There are three main mechanical cooling components jam-packed into this compact AC unit: a compressor, condenser coil, and evaporator coil. Which, just so you know, is a VERY big deal for an air conditioner a device that would typically draw an incredibly large amount of power.

The Zero Breeze air-conditioner functions in a similar way to other portable air-conditioners out there.īut what sets it apart is it is 100% battery powered.
