SC Series · smaller-model construction shown.
  1. 1

    Compressor

    At the heart of the refrigeration circuit, circulating refrigerant for cooling and reverse-cycle heating.

  2. 2

    Cabin heat exchanger

    The evaporator cools the cabin air and removes moisture during cooling, helping the space feel more comfortable.

  3. 3

    Multidirectional blower

    Adjust the discharge direction to suit your duct route. More flexibility when fitting the unit into confined cabin spaces.

  4. 4

    Stainless-steel base

    A corrosion-resistant foundation with a collection tray for condensate produced during cooling.

  5. 5

    Cupronickel seawater condenser

    The cupronickel seawater condenser transfers heat from the refrigerant to the circulating seawater during cooling.

BEFORE YOU ORDER

A little planning.
A better installation.

The supplied system

An SC Series unit and the included Smart Touch cabin display. Control-box configuration is listed in the technical specifications.

The vessel installation

Plan suitable ducting, grilles, seawater pump and plumbing, electrical supply and condensate drainage with your installer.

Professional commissioning

SC units are supplied without refrigerant charge. A qualified marine HVAC professional must evacuate, charge and commission the system using the installation manual.

How do I choose the right capacity?

Cabin dimensions, glazing, sunlight and cruising conditions all affect the cooling demand. Send your vessel layout and cabin measurements for selection advice; boat length alone is not enough.

Can I reuse my existing pump, ducting and controls?

Your installer should compare their specifications and condition with the chosen SC model. Matching BTU capacity alone does not confirm compatibility. Send installation photographs and the existing equipment details so we can help assess the options.

Does it provide heating as well as cooling?

Yes. The SC Series provides reverse-cycle heating as well as cooling. Heating performance depends on operating conditions, including seawater temperature. See the model data and installation manual for the requirements.
