There only is that one question in the original post:
I am looking for information on a total electric air conditioner for my 77 240d.
One can only make assumptions to what the intended use might be. My general thought is I wouldn't do it as it would have to be cheaper to replace the entire CCU in the D then to make to revolutionize it with electric AC
On total electric vehicles the heating/AC in controlled by a seperate bank of batteries and is charged when the vehicle is plugged in for a normal recharge cycle or if equiped with a extended range genset. 12/24VDC with AMP rating as low as 5
The largest BTU rating AC I can find in the MB line up is the Sprinter @ 13,500btu's

Again TX, where are you findinig this number?
I don't know where Jim is getting his number either, but back in a vendors school that I went to over 30 years ago, they were saying that it took a couple of tons of a/c capacity for a car due to the extreme heat involved after setting in the Sun all day plus all the heat generated by the drivetrain plus all the heat drawn from the air on a hot day going down the road. Additionally I googled around for a few minutes and was finding numbers in the 20,000 BTU area.
Where are you finding the BTU ratings for the MB models?
Also TX I'm not following you when you say that the alternator is not part of the equation. Please expound.
