New line of air conditioning units for workboats
Designed for deck or rooftop mounting, the new Dometic DuraSea condensing units provide fast, easy installation and servicing. The ruggedized stainless-steel 304 housing and fasteners are to protect the components from corrosion in the salt-air environment. All exposed components have a protective coating. Optional mounting risers are available to elevate the unit above the deck to facilitate water drainage and protect the coil from debris and salt water. The control box and compressor are inside the cabinet for easy service access and additional corrosion protection.
Available in capacities ranging from 36,000 to 72,000 BTU/hr, Dometic offers the DuraSea units in a standard square-shaped chassis, or a slim-profile size to meet tighter space requirements. Both models feature a unique vertical fan-mount design that protects fan components from constant, direct exposure to corrosive weather conditions that can cause horizontally mounted fans to fail and collapse. The systems are compatible with most standard evaporator/blower units.
The DuraSea condensing units utilize state-of-the-art scroll compressors, offering high-efficiency reliable performance under rugged conditions, states Dometic. The scroll compressor reduces noise and vibration, and provides low starting torque to minimize current spikes at startup. As per manufacturer the DuraSea meets or exceeds all ABYC and USCG regulations, CE directives and ARI standards. Dometic offers a two-year warranty on the compressor and a one-year warranty on parts.
