Listers, As some of you already know, we installed air conditioning on the Enterprise a couple of months ago. We are currently at the dock on Captiva Island and the cabin is a glorious 75 degrees. According to the installer, at startup and maximum compression, the air conditioning on the boat

Stus-List Re: Alternator / Inverter / Air Conditioning

That would be a marginal operation at best. The most benign thing that would go wrong would be the inverter overheating and shutting down. If that doesn't happen, running an alternator that hard for hours on end is pretty tough duty, I would not be surprised if the alternator died an early deat

Joe, Thanks. I wasn’t looking to run all night at anchor. I was only thinking if we were moving under power with little to no breeze behind us, if it were possible to cool down the cabin a little, or at least get some relief standing in front of a vent for a short time. All the best, Edd —

Stus-List Re: Alternator / Inverter / Air Conditioning

I’d say so. What is the watts drawn by the hairdryer? I just checked my wife’s and it was 1600W and I’m guessing yours is probably 12-1500W but that is for a relatively short period of time. If the A/C is peaking at 1400W then it will probably start to drain the batteries slowly since the alter

If your inverter is pure sine wave, you would have a better chance. The older ones are not, and I know I had to run my microwave three times as long under the inverter as shore power. In the case of your compressor, a non-pure wave might be bad for it. If it is, I would just pay attention to y

Stus-List Re: Alternator / Inverter / Air Conditioning

Edd, To Joe's point, 30Hp is ~22000 watts and a typical electrical outlet is 1850 watts. So the engine has plenty of power to do what you are asking. The problem with most diesel engine installations is that the engines need to be run at 80% load for hours in order to prevent cylinder glazing and

Stus-List Re: Alternator / Inverter / Air Conditioning

Underway is actually better for the engine. My alternator regulator will back off charging if the alternator overheats. Does yours do that? I would say go ahead and give it a try and see what happens, but the potential for damaging the alternator does exist. If you don't have temperature sensin

>From my LIMITED experience, a Honda 2000W generally will not run a 16KBTU AC. I've heard a Honda 2200 will. That's how close it is. The issue is the start up amperage. The start up amperage surge can, however, be moderated by the addition of a soft start module. Basically a smart capacitor.

Touche's stem casting got scratched beating up a dock box. Any good tips on removing the scratches? Wire brush? MAG Wheel cleaner? (The boat will be repainted so I can use an acid based wheel etching solution before the repaint although I'd really rather not.) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1C

Stus-List Cylinder glazing

Josh mentioned that cylinder glazing can occur if the engine is not run at 80 percent for extended periods of time. We motor out from the dock for 5 or 10 minutes, set the sails and shut down the engine. We get a fairly heavy blue smoke when the engine is cold. Question; is there any way to get rid

Clean the plasma conduits well. Then, send a tachyon pulse thru the deflector dish when you engage the air conditioner. Remember to divert power from the transporters and it should work. On Sat, Sep 19, 2020, 10:28 AM Matthew wrote: > It depends on the condition of your dilithium crystals. > > >
