Excellent idea. I would caution that care must be taken here to not then wire the subsequent 24 VDC potential into the PD board. I'm sure that the transformer(s) there would not like the new voltage, nor would the downstream components.
To be safe, I would search places like allied electronics and newark for a 2-turn transformer. This would give you your voltage conversion from 12 VDC to 24 VDC. Just make sure that the transformer is rated for the right power (watts) or amperage, depending on how the spec is written.
