WL24F1 Roof-Mounted Bus Air Conditioner — Long-Haul Duty Profile
Duty profile DP-WL24F1 | Built for long-haul passenger service: sustained capacity, dual-zone airflow and a drive train matched to continuous highway operation.
- Overview
- Recommended Products
1. The Long-Haul Duty Profile
An 8.6–10.5 m intercity or tourist coach runs 8–12 hours a day, often at full passenger load in high ambient heat. The AC must deliver sustained capacity, not just peak: the WL24F1 is rated 26 kW (88,712 BTU) with 4,800 m³/h evaporator airflow and a 6-fan condenser bank that keeps discharge pressure stable hour after hour.

3. Six Condenser Fans — The Idle & Climb Solution
Highway coaches spend hours at constant speed, but they also idle at terminals and climb mountain grades. The 6-fan condenser bank (LNF273107C) delivers 9,600 m³/h of rejection airflow — enough to hold head pressure in stop-and-go and low-speed climb conditions where single-fan designs lose capacity.

4. Drive Train for Continuous Duty
The FKX40-655K compressor (550/750 cc) is matched with a 210/260 clutch, SPB belt and an optional 120 A / 28 V alternator — the electrical headroom a coach needs when running lights, wipers, entertainment systems and the AC simultaneously on a 24V system.

7. Buyer FAQ
Q1. What buses does the WL24F1 fit?
8.6–10.5 m intercity coaches, tourist buses and large shuttle fleets.
Q2. Why 6 condenser fans?
Idle and low-speed climb performance — 9,600 m³/h rejection airflow holds head pressure in conditions where 2–3 fan units lose capacity.
Q3. Is it 12V or 24V?
The WL24F1 is a DC 24V system, with an optional 120 A / 28 V alternator for heavy electrical load.
Q4. What refrigerant does it use?
R134a with 2.8 kg factory charge.
Q5. Is the compressor included?
Full kit includes FKX40-655K compressor, 210/260 clutch, SPB belt and lines; roof-only option also available.
