FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS REGARDING THE SIZE AND CAPACITY SELECTION:
When sizing air conditioning systems for a boat, the area in question is not that important. The success to select
the correct size and capacity in BTU should be determined not only by the area (cubic feet), but also the amount
of windows, the quality of the window tint, the color of the hatches, the heat dissipation from the appliances on
board, and so many other factors.
The question should not be, how many BTU do customers need to cool their cabin?
It is impossible in reality to answer that question before studying the insulation.
POINTS TO HAVE IN MIND WHEN SELECTING YOUR AIR CONDITIONER:
1 When installing the unit in areas where the unit could return air from bilges or engine rooms and exterior, you
must seal the compartment well, so return air must be from the area that you want to cool.
2 Discharge vents: Less vents the better. The air conditioner needs air circulation, this way dry air reacts on the
skin evaporating the moisture and creating a cooling effect. In conclusion, a dry boat well ventilated is more
important than a cool boat.
3 After over 35 years testing and creating some of the best marine units, we must conclude that the most impor-
tant fact about marine air conditioning is the source of power and the efficiency. Nowadays, customers during
hot days run their air conditioning on solar panels and at night on Lithium batteries.
