Introduction 0-3
Congratulations!
You have chosen the premier no-idle climate control system on the market today –the
eCoolPark 1.0 from Bergstrom Inc.
The eCoolPark 1.0 is a powerful 12 VDC system that keeps the cab compartment cool in hot
weather without having to idle the vehicle engine. This system is intended to provide no-idle
cooling for the cab. The system consists of an electrified compressor unit installed in the
trunk of the vehicle. The system integrates into the existing A/C hoses/tubes and utilizes the
existing evaporator and condenser. Check valves are used to isolate the eCoolPark system
from the OEM refrigeration system. It not only dramatically reduces fuel burned, but is also
extremely environmentally friendly.
The eCoolPark unit must remain upright at all times. The refrigerant inlet/outlet
at the bottom of the unit should be capped at all times.
