One of the hardest problems to solve for vehicle dwellers is maintaining temperature while parked. Most vehicles are designed to provide A/C and power while moving. The manufacturers don't expect that you will stay in the vehicle for a long time after you have stopped. Idling the car in order to power the A/C causes excessive wear on the car engine, wastes fuel, and causes noise/air pollution. Most RVers solve the problem by installing roof mounted air conditioners powered by an auxiliary generators. However, such gensets are often themselves noisy, heavy, and expensive.
Fortunately, long haul truckers face the same problems, and due to the fuel costs, and noise/pollution ordinances, there has been a strong incentive to find alternatives to truck idling. The NITE system is one of the most promising of those technologies.
The NITE system keeps the sleeper compartment cool in hot weather and warm when it's cold outside, with the trucks' engine turned off. The result is year-round comfort for the driver, tremendous fuel savings and reduced engine wear from eliminating overnight idling.
The NITE system combines a light weight, fully functional air-conditioning system and a compact air-heating system both designed to work independent of the truck's main engine. When used effectively, the NITE system virtually eliminates overnight truck idling.
High-efficiency A/C system
The air-conditioning system keeps the sleeper area at 70 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit when the outside temperature is 90-plus degrees Fahrenheit.
It draws no energy from the truck's electrical system when the truck engine is shut down.
It's driven by the exclusive NITE rechargeable power source, which incorporates a deep cycle battery system that operates up to 10 hours between charges.
Variable speed compressor.
All 12-volt DC components.
Brushless DC technology.
Requires no power inverter.
Compact air-heating system
In cold weather, the NITE heating system keeps the sleeper compartment continuously warm all night.
It uses 0.03 to 0.06 gallons of diesel per hour, compared with 1 to 1.5 gallons per hour wasted during idling time.
Weighs 8 pounds.
Measures 2.7" long x 5.1" wide x 4.8" high.
Maximum performance
The smart control system features electronic variable functions for optimum comfort and power management.
Engineered ductwork efficiently circulates air, providing exceptional cooling.
A low-voltage cutout safeguards the independent NITE battery.
Status indicator notifies the owner when recharging is needed.
Pays for itself quickly
Each hour the NITE system is in use saves 1 gallon to 1.5 gallons of fuel because it's many times more efficient than a large idling diesel engine.
Fits any truck, old or new
Owner-operators and fleet owners can retrofit existing trucks or spec new trucks with the NITE system.
Heavy-duty, yet compact
Space-efficient design allows for easy installation. The entire system weighs just 210 pounds.
Easy to install
The NITE system is available at over 2,000 resellers nationwide.
