Heat pump system
January 7, 2010
| by: Truckers News Staff
Stark’s HP2000 Auxiliary Power Unit was built to handle extreme temperatures. By eliminating the need for the truck’s engine to idle, fuel usage is reduced significantly. The heat pump system provides cost savings and keeps drivers cool, warm and powered up, the company says.

This unit appears to infringe on a patent submitted to the USPTO by NCNES. Their patent covers the use of “reversing valve” technolgy on all vehicles. The best part about the NCNES patent and unit is that there is NO requirement to run any internal combustion engine. The installation time is under two hours, the unit runs for over 18 hours without having the battery charged by the charger contained within the unit. The entire unit is self contained, requires NO interface to on board electrical, mechanical, or hyraaulic units and can be connected to shore power if it is available.
