WL42LY Roof-Mounted Bus Air Conditioner — Flagship Split-Roof Configuration
Flagship file FF-WL42LY | The top of the WL LY split-roof line: 4.99 m roof platform, 4GFCY drive and the highest evaporator blower count in the family.
- Overview
- Recommended Products
1. Why a 4.99 m Roof Platform
At 13.0–14.0 m vehicle length — the largest single-deck coaches — the roof AC must carry more coil surface and more airflow than any shorter platform can hold. The WL42LY's 4,990 × 1,840 × 190 mm roof profile mounts 8 evaporator blowers and 6 condenser fans while staying at 236 kg class weight for roof-load safety.

3. The Drive Train
The 4GFCY compressor (750 cc) — a Bitzer-family open-type unit — is matched with a 2B/2A clutch, SPB belt and 150 A / 28 V alternator. Two TGEN10T Danfoss expansion valves split the refrigerant feed across the large coil banks, and a Danfoss SGN16S sight glass monitors charge condition at a glance.

5. Buyer FAQ
Q1. What buses does the WL42LY fit?
13.0–14.0 m single-deck coaches and high-capacity passenger vehicles requiring 42–44 kW.
Q2. How does it differ from the WL38LY?
Longer platform (4.99 m vs 4.75/4.90 m) and higher capacity class (42/44 kW vs 38/42 kW) with the same 4GFCY-family drive.
Q3. Is the compressor included?
Yes — full kit includes 4GFCY compressor, 2B/2A clutch, SPB belt and 150 A alternator.
Q4. Why two expansion valves?
The large dual-bank coil needs two TGEN10T feeds for even distribution across the full 8,800 m³/h airflow.
Q5. What is the warranty?
Standard export warranty with technical documentation, spare parts list and remote troubleshooting.
