Blizzard Turbo Split System Manual

INTRODUCTION

The Dometic Blizzard Turbo is an auxiliary air conditioning system that cools the sleeper cab and keeps the driver comfortable
without running the engine.
Instead of wasting fuel by using an idling engine to power the truck's own air conditioning system, the Blizzard Turbo uses an
alternative source of power, such as:
• 115VAC power supplied by an onboard diesel genset
• A shorepower connection when an external AC power source is available, or
• A bank of deep cycle batteries using an inverter to convert the 12V battery output into usable 115VAC power
Dometic's patented Blizzard Turbo is a split system that consists of two separate components (see Figure 1):
• The outside unit contains the condenser and cooling fan. It can be bolted horizontally to the underside or vertically to
the back of the sleeper cab.
• The inside unit contains the compressor, heater (optional), evaporator, blower (CHEB). The CHEB also houses the
Power Logic Box (PLB) and other associated components. The inside unit is mounted under a berth or seat or in a side
storage locker.
The two units are connected by reusable pre-charged quick-connect refrigerant line sets. The system is designed so that both
units automatically charge to the correct refrigerant pressure as soon as the line sets are connected. No special tools are
required.
