Common Customer Inquiries About Our Electric Compressors
1.“I’m looking for a 12V AC compressor for my car and have come across your product. I have a couple of questions:
What is the price shipped to the US?
Do I purchase directly through you, or do you have a distributor in the US?
What kind of draw does this have, and what size alternator would you suggest running?
Will this integrate into my factory AC controls in my car?
Can I use my factory condenser with this unit?”
2.“Dear Guchen Team,
I am from Hungary. I would like to inquire about your GC20A12 12V AC compressor. My team is working on cars and we want to convert one of our cars from a belt-driven AC system to a 12V DC air conditioning system. Could you provide pricing, including shipping to Hungary?”
3.“I’m interested in your 24V air conditioning compressor. We’re designing a conversion kit for pickup trucks and want to utilize the existing AC system while replacing only the compressor. What is the cost of the compressor? Our test vehicle is a Toyota Land Cruiser LC79.”
4.“We’re looking for a 24V electric compressor and roof-mounted AC units for truck cabins.”

Traditional ICE vehicles rely on belt-driven compressors that draw power from the engine. By replacing this with the GC20A12, you can eliminate this dependency, freeing up engine power and improving efficiency.
◆ Connect to the Electrical System
The compressor connects directly to the vehicle’s electrical system. For 12V vehicles, the GC20A12 operates seamlessly using the car battery, ensuring consistent performance.
◆ Utilize Existing Components
Our compressors are designed to integrate with factory condensers and AC controls, making them compatible with most existing setups. This reduces the complexity of retrofitting and minimizes costs.
◆ Test and Optimize
Once installed, our team can provide guidance on testing and optimizing the system for peak performance, ensuring a smooth transition to an electric air conditioning setup.
Supporting Conversion Projects Worldwide
We’ve worked with customers on a variety of retrofitting projects. For instance:
US: Assisting a team electrifying commercial vehicles.
Germany: Partnering with designers applying 12 volt ac compressors to retrofit turbo cars that doesn’t have space for a conventional compressor.
UAE: The customer is offering electric drive solutions to customers in need. Their interest has been piqued in retrofitting trucks. They operate with a 400-volt system, and are moving to a transition to an 800-volt system. Guchen Team shared the technical documentation and price of
high voltage compressor suitable for their 800-volt system.
