US Patent 7350368 Stationary vehicle air conditioning system

The invention pertains to a stationary vehicle air conditioning system with a refrigerant circuit, in which at least one compressor circulates the refrigerant to at least two condensers. The at least one compressor may be powered by the vehicle's mechanical power, by an electrical source, or by a combination of these driving forces. Depending on desired operating characteristics, the condensers may be arranged in a series or parallel configuration. A second compressor also may be added, which second compressor may be powered by a source other than the mechanical energy of the vehicle's engine.
