A single RT65 roof-mount system with a 13 CID automotive compressor yields a capacity of 40K (SAE)/64K (IMACA) BTU/hr, while a dual RT65 configuration, with dual 13 CID automotive compressors or, in selected applications, single TM43 transit compressor, yields a capacity of 80K (SAE)/128K (IMACA) BTU/hr.

The Streamline SL900 is a light-weight, low-profile roof-mounted unit designed for heavy-duty application on motorcoaches and transit buses.  

The SL900, when paired with a single 775cc transit compressor, yields a capacity of 150K (SAE)/240K (IMACA) Btu/hr.  Distinctive advantages of the service friendly SL900 include a 10% smaller size and 20% weight reduction from previous models.
