Depending on who does the work it could be less expensive than getting a different air conditioner. The compressor will also need a capacitor and some rewiring. The old unit could have a 3 phase blower motor also which could run the price up even more. Although the changes can be made, the warranty at best will probably be a one year warranty and a new unit could have a 5-10 year warranty.
If an air condition is single phase, then it can only be connected to a single phase source. Since any two legs of a three phase source are considered single phase, there is no conflict, except to note that the individual phases of the three phase source match the voltage requirement of the air conditioner.
If it is a 240 volt conditioner it will stop. If it is a 120 volt conditioner it will stop if it is on the leg that has been lost.
An air conditioner if functioning as air warmer or air chiller can be called as a type of heat pump. If an air conditioner is working as an air de-humidifier then it no more a heat pump.
A reverse cycle air conditioner work like normal air conditioners only in reverse, transferring heat into a house instead of outside of one. It is not an air conditioner at all, but a heater.
Yes, unless you want your air conditioner to actually work.
If the air conditioner is designed for three phase, then it will not run, and could be damaged, by single phase power. Otherwise, no.
If an air condition is single phase, then it can only be connected to a single phase source.

Most standard residential service is single phase. Therefore, I would say most all residential A/C units are single phase.
Installing a 3-phase air conditioner in a commercial building offers benefits such as higher energy efficiency, better cooling capacity, and more reliable operation compared to single-phase units.
An RV air conditioner works much like an air conditioner in any vehicle. It has a compressor and a condenser that operate in concert to cool the air. In an RV, the air conditioner runs off of a generator when the engine is off.
yes
Not really. A 2000W generator will give you about 10 amps. Your normal RV air conditioner will draw 12-15.
Well all generators with a few exceptions produce 120 volts. What will determine if a generator will run your air conditioner is the number of watts the generator will put out. You need to learn the wattage needed by the air conditioner and also learn the max watts put out by the generator you have (Assuming you have one already) it the generator produces more watts that needed by the AC unit you are good to go. Not on the other hand if the generator you have dose not produce enough watts or you do not have one then it is a matter of buying a generator with the wattage required by the AC unit in your camper. Now if you are going to buy one I would also determine what else you would like to run from the generator (in addition to the air conditioner. Figure out the watts need by these items add them together with the watts needed by the AC unit. Then buy a generator big enough for your needs.
You have to ask your dealer. In a Chrysler Voyager 97 it is placed beneath the generator.
A 5 ton Air Conditioner typically requires a generator with a starting wattage of around 10,000 to 12,000 watts to accommodate the initial surge of power needed at startup. It is recommended to consult the manufacturer's specifications for the exact power requirements of the specific model of the Air Conditioner.
Contact your local HVAC service and repair man Bring Air Conditioner to a Specialist. Do not attempt to open or repair the air conditioner your self, harmful chemicals can be released if not properly serviced.
If it is a 240 volt conditioner it will stop. If it is a 120 volt conditioner it will stop if it is on the leg that has been lost.
