Marine Air Conditioners A/C units for boat providing year-round heating and cooling capabilities, removing moisture from the air, preventing dampness, rot and mold and controlling humidity, not just in the living spaces but other parts of the yacht too.
2. Marine air systems
Marine air systems are responsible for the movement of heat inside your boat. Both
commercial and private boats have this type of systems since they effectively remove heat
from your cabin spaces giving you cooler, comfortable temperature while on board. But how
do these units work? Again, the basic principle of a marine air system is the movement of
cabin heat. Heat is transferred from the air inside of your cabin to the refrigerant gas which
is responsible for releasing heat outside the boat into the sea water. Also, part of a marine
air system process is not only to remove the heat inside your spaces but also to remove
moisture inside and cool down its temperature. Lowering the humidity inside your boat as
well as lowering the temperature in all cabins not only provide you comfortable sailing but
also help in reducing mold growth and other moisture problems inside and outside your
boat.
3. There are three types of marine air systems
1. self-contained unit
A self-contained air conditioning unit is ideal for smaller boats measuring 40 ft
or 12 meters. It is the cheapest marine air system and requires very minimal
installation. Though smaller in size and lower in cost, this type still has
everything you need in a marine air conditioner. It is most suitable to be
placed in your boats living area, in a locker, or under the seats.
4. 2. Split air conditioning systems
A split gas air conditioning unit is idea for boats measuring 80 ft or 24 meters. It is most
suitable to be placed in your mechanical space provided or if possible mount it in your
engine room. It is quieter, available in different handler types, does not occupy space in
your boats living area like the self-contained units, but a bit more expensive.
5. 3. Chilled water air conditioning systems
Chilled water air conditioning systems are for large boats and super yachts. This is also most suitable
to be placed in your engine room.
It effectively cools freshwater, then distributes cool air through air handlers all over your boat. It is the
most expensive type of marine air system but the most powerful air conditioner too. It observes
flexible load management, no limitation on the number of air handlers in a system, and no limitations
on the distance from the chiller to the air handlers.
