3.2.1 Self-Contained Air Conditioning Unit ATTENTION All Webasto air conditioning units pump seawater around the condenser to aid in the cooling process. Cooling Cycle The compressor compresses the refrigerant gas which is then condensed to liquid as it passes through the seawater cooled condenser.
Webasto BlueCool Classic Series 3.2.2 Digital Display Panel All Webasto air conditioning units are controlled by a Digital Display <AIR CONTROL> which gives access to all functions necessary for the normal operation of the unit and attached accessories (blowers, pumps, etc.).

This system is referenced: WEBASTO WB200; it is basically a DC pump with a special control unit between the TCC controller card and the pump allowing to adjust the pump speed as needed. The use of standard 115V/230VAC pumps is still possible without any restriction.

CAUTION! Never program speeds so low that the blower is in danger of stopping or will not restart at that setting. This will inevitably entail motor winding burnout and will not be covered by the WEBASTO warranty. Automatic Deicing Control During intermediate seasons (spring, autumn) when moderate temperature conditions prevail, there is a definite risk of icing the evaporator coil in cool mode and pressure safety cut-outs in heat mode.

OVERVIEW Webasto BlueCool Classic Series Central Blower Control The central digital display also directly controls the blower of the evaporator. For all BlueCool Classic systems, there are two modes of blower control and operation: thermostatic interruption of blower operation as soon as the desired setpoint temperature has been reached; un-interrupted blower operation regardless of thermostatic compressor control.
