Yeah that's what I'm trying to find out. Only one of our suppliers makes it, and they know that. I think they're one of the only if not the only manufacturer that makes it and they're proud of it. They say the power consumption is only 168watts at 12VDC, so it only pulls 14amps. I don't see how it can perform the same as my 120V compressor, but we'll see. I personally don't care if it pulls 60amps at start up, as long as I have below ambient IAT's.

What is the cooling capacity on the two compressors?
If the 12VDC one works that would be a very nice setup for sure.

The 12VDC pulls 168watts (so they say), and the 120VAC pulls 600watts at 120VAC, so with an inverter you get about a 50amp draw at 12V. 
Not too bad, but a tad more than most efans, but if the 12V version can be better I'm going for it. 
Even while driving hard the compressor doesn't run all the time. Once the water is chilled and stored, the compressor just runs when it needs to maintain the temp. I should've done some compressor run time studies, but I will.

Lots of heat gained there, especially if it runs anywhere near the exhaust.
