before it can be called a viable alternative.
Now that the disclaimer is out of the way: I am looking into using a trailer
refrigeration unit as a triple purpose genset. They both heat and cool, so
with some duct work should be able to be used for those purposes in a small
habitation or work area. Being equiped with the means to self generate power
to charge it's own battery it could then also be used to charge a battery
bank, one would think, or at worst have an extended fan belt sprocket
installed and run a type of dynamo or something that could be kooked up to a
generating device of some kind.
I know nothing of these things, so the techie stuff may not be up to snuff,
however I believe the idea to be sound, even if in need of further
investigation.
Should this prove to be viable it could produce a stand-alone building with
heat and cooling (for the really hot summer days) as well as cogen
electricity to power a BD lab. These reafer units run on diesel and have a
self enclosed system to run independantly from outside help, so might be
worth having a closer look at, which is what I intend to do. I shall report
any findings, in the yea or nay.
