We could not find where Masterflux lists BTU, however a Refrigerated system using 330 Watts produces around 4,000+- BTU. While the MG3 using only 41 Watts produce up to 8,000+- BTU using Ice & Water.
A negative to the MG3 may be that it uses Ice instead of
Battery Energy to provide 'True' Air Conditioned Comfort, however
your Batteries may think this is a Positive in the long run. Another
negative might be the design as the MG3 looks more like a Hummer
than a Corvette. We did not add a superficial aerodynamic frame
as we felt it was more important to provide easy installation
plus keep the weight on the top to a minimum.
Tapping
into 12-Volts is simple as the MG3 uses only 3.4 amps (41
Watts) so that you can even operate it on an inexpensive 12-volt
"Power Station" which comes with a built in charger.
Or you may use a Flexible Cigarette Lighter Receptacle that clamps
onto your Golf Cart battery pack. Both of these items are typically
available at Auto Parts stores, Target, Walmart, K-Mart, etc.
All of the batteries may also produce 12 volts with a proper converter.
"My brother and I found the installation process quite
simple and took less than an hour to complete. The only change
we made, was to replace the cigarette lighter end with alligator
clips. We applied foam insulation tubing to the hoses as you suggested.
We found a slim line ice chest that fit perfectly in the basket
between the back of the seat and the golf bag rack. The hoses
were just the right length to fit our cart. The cooler works great.
We are the envy of all our golfing buddies. I feel you will be
getting some additional order soon. Sincerely M. B."

The
12-Volt 3-speed MG3 uses the same basic system we have shipped
all over the World to individuals and governments for use in Vehicles,
Boats & Aircraft to reduce Humidity while providing Cold Crisp
Air. Swampy Technicians used this same basic system to develop
a Golf Cart Model in limited quantities for 2007.
You cannot blow air into or through ice
without increasing humidity which is a form of Evaporative Cooling.
Some companies claim to have Air Conditioners, however they increase
humidity leading to more discomfort in humid areas.
Understanding this problem our Swampy Company developed
and has produced 'True' 12-volt Air Conditioning since 2001. Our
systems are used under the most severe heat soaked humid conditions,
such as in enclosed vehicles sitting in direct sunlight for surveillance.
Golf
Cart Evaporative Cooling systems provide relief from the heat
in dry desert climates because the cool air produced can be as
much as 25 degrees cooler than the ambient air. In the case of
our new MightyKool MG3 Dual Cooling System, using water only,
the cool air produced will be at least 30 degrees cooler under
the same circumstances.
As an example if the ambient temperature on a dry day in the desert were 110 degrees the cool air produced from a well-designed evaporative cooler would be 85+- and 80+- degrees with the MG3 using water only. Under the same circumstances the MG3 would produce 65+- degrees using Ice & Water!
You do not need an enclosure on your Golf Cart to enjoy the cold air produced, although you may if you wish. If you are using water only you need some ventilation for Evaporative Cooling.
We furnish all you need except the ice chest, of your choice, that would typically be located behind your seat. Place the pump in the ice chest and plug in the 12-volt cigarette lighter then add a small amount of water and fill with ice, turn the MG3 on & you will feel the cold air in seconds.
All of our Ice Models are capable
of using from 15 to 20 pounds of ice per hour during the heat
of the day when operating it. We began this project in 1995 and
the first models would only use 5 to 10 pounds per hour, which
was not adequate. Now enjoy True Air Conditioned comfort with
the MightyKool MG3!
The method the MG3 uses to produce cold air is possible because of many thousands of hours of design and the Power of Ice when used in a properly designed system. The MG3 may be installed by your favorite Dealer or by providing a 7" square hole in the roof that will easily support the 10-pound weight. A key hole saw may even be used to cut the soft top material and you may wish to go up & review the ideas on Tapping into 12-Volts.
