TURBRO launches 48V DC air conditioner for recreational vehicles

TURBRO has released the Greenland GLD15, a 15,000 BTU air conditioning unit engineered specifically for the off-grid recreational vehicle market. By utilizing 48V DC power, the system functions without an external inverter, a configuration the company reports increases thermal efficiency by 25% compared to standard systems.

The shift toward 48V architectures in the RV sector reflects a broader industry movement to manage high-draw appliances more effectively without relying on high-wattage AC conversions. This design reduces energy loss associated with power inversion, which is a significant factor for vehicle owners dependent on battery-powered climate control.

Market demand for self-contained power solutions has grown as RV travelers seek longer autonomy from traditional shore power hookups. The GLD15 unit is intended to integrate into existing 48V electrical infrastructures, aiming to address the limitations of power storage capacity in mobile living environments.
