An extra closable
outlet in the “cold air”
supply is situated in
the aft cabin
entrance. This unit is
cooling as well as
heating depending on
the requested
temperature on the
thermostat panel. It is
advisable to use the
Webasto
heater when in need of a heater and to use
the
Dometic
air-conditioning for the hotter
environments.
The
Dometic
air conditioning unit is powered by the
220V Combi Gamma switchboard. This means it can be used even if there is no shore
power available. As the use of air-conditioning is a high power consumer the unit
should be used for no longer than three (3) hours on battery power before charging
batteries by means of shore power or engines alternators again.
The air-conditioning unit is operating with the use of sea cooling water provided by its
own dedicated sea cooling water pump situated in the
technical area as well. A sea suction filter is installed
and should be checked and cleaned regularly. Suction
of seawater is not possible if the boat is sailing at full
speed as the suction entrance might not reach the
water due the hull being lifted.
Air-conditioning installations have there own specific maintenance procedures
and schedules to follow and therefore you should revert to the manufacturer
manual supplied.
NOTICE
Do not run the air-conditioning
for longer than 3 hours on
battery supply only.
WARNING
A water system component
failure can cause a flooding or
drowning hazard which can
cause death or serious injury.
Maintain all water system
components and keep
seacocks closed during periods
of inactivity.
