<div><font style="background-color: transparent;">The JSLs and other acrylic subs have a primary issue that others do not. The thick acrylic is a terrific insulator. They don't cool down effectively even in deep water, and happily contain every BTU that the crew generates (which is substantial).</font></div>

<div>Steve and Alec had another problem. Think of two guys wedged into a small telephone booth strapped to the back of a camel which is in turn being led across the sahara in a leisurely fashion at or near high noon. Then add the potential of drowning or loss of the camel should they attempt to escape.</div>

<div>Far better to consider options that would allow safe boarding at sea. Something inflatable? Perhaps a collar with some sort of splash guard. Hmm. This might require some head scratching.</div>

<div>That is something to think about. How does the subs at Triton or Nuytco put in A/C and heat? Just a big motor and alot of battery power? This whole idea may just not be practical for our subs, but I think worth exploring after I saw Alec amd Steve get out of snoopy the other day. </div>

It takes at least 5hp to drive an AC pump in a vehicle. You can also get 12V coolers that might have some potential. I have the opposite problem, cold, at least we can dress for cold.</span></div>

<div>I know basically nothing about HVAC. I am assuming taking a compressor outside of a car and running it on a 36 volt motor and running the tubing on the outside of the sub to disperse heat would consume to much power right? Anyone know how many amps at 36 volt, 24 volt, and 12 volt would be required to do something like this?</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
