More details about Saphir compact

Saphir compact is a storage compartment air conditioning system that is especially well-suited for small to medium-sized caravans and motor homes. The system not only cools the air, but also dehumidifies and cleans it. For this purpose, there are fluff and particle filters on the front of the device. The air conditioning system is lightweight, extremely compact and very economical to run.

Use the convenient remote control to adjust the storage compartment air conditioning system. Saphir compact systems can also be controlled with the digital CP plus iNet ready control panel. If, in addition to a Truma air conditioner, you also have a Combi heater in your vehicle, you can use automatic climate control. Both appliances are then synchronised with each other automatically until the desired temperature is reached. The digital control panel can also be extended with the Truma iNet Box. This allows you to control all TIN bus-capable Truma appliances via the Truma App.

Saphir compact is installed centrally in a storage compartment, such as in a storage bench, so that the cold air is distributed evenly throughout the entire caravan or motor home.

FAQ

  • Why does a Truma air conditioning system not have the same cooling output as a car air conditioning system?

    In many cases, air conditioning systems are used in cars for just 20 to 30 minutes. A comfortable temperature of about 23 °C should be reached within a very short time. Because cars often have dark colours inside and outside and angled windows, such as the windscreen, they heat up very quickly. This is why car air conditioning systems are equipped with a high cooling output (6 to 8 kW). They are much more powerful, as the compressor of the air conditioning system is driven by the car’s engine. This explains why the engine loses power when the air conditioning system is switched on in the car.

    On the other hand, RVs are often used for several hours. The air conditioning system is also used over a long period (while driving or at the camp site). Light external colours and steep windows reduce heating of the vehicle compared to cars. The cooling output of air conditioning systems in RVs is generally much lower, as they are electrically operated and the power supply is limited. This is why a high level of energy efficiency, which ensures optimum cooling output with low power consumption, is essential.

    Our air conditioning system can produce a maximum temperature difference of 10°C under optimum conditions, such as when the vehicle is in shadow, is darkened, windows and skylights are closed and humidity is low.

  • Can the cold air distribution system of the Truma Saphir air conditioning system be connected to existing warm air ducts?

    No.

    Warm air ducts offer no insulation to protect against the build-up of condensation. Condensation would form on the outer cardboard layer of the warm air ducts when the Truma air conditioning system is operated. This would damage the ducts and storage compartments.

  • How do I cool my caravan or motor home especially effectively?

    You can keep a cool head at any temperature by following the tips:

    • Before starting the system, check that the camp site has adequate fuses (min. 4 A).
    • Position your vehicle in shade if possible.
    • Closing blinds reduces heat radiation.
    • Clean your roof at regular intervals – dirty roofs are hotter roofs.
    • Ventilate the vehicle properly before starting the appliance in order to remove accumulated warm air from the vehicle.
    • To obtain a healthy indoor climate, the difference between inside and outside temperatures should not be too large.
    • During operation, the circulated air is cleaned and dehumidified. Dehumidifying moist air creates a pleasant indoor climate even if the temperature differences are not great.
    • When cooling, close all doors and windows so that no condensation forms on the air distributor.
  • What must I consider as regards maintenance of Truma air conditioning systems?

    Truma air conditioning systems have a closed cool air circulation system. As opposed to cars, no coolant has to be replenished or replaced.

    For Saphir air conditioning systems we recommend that you clean the fluff filter twice per year and replace it if necessary. We recommend that you replace the particle filter every year at the beginning of the season.

    With Aventa air conditioning systems we recommend that you replace the air filter each year or as required.
