This section applies only to the optional air conditioning
system installed at the Carver factory. An air condition-
ing system installed as an aftermarket accessory may
not necessarily operate as described in this section.
For the air conditioning system to operate it needs a
source of AC power (supplied by either a shore power
source or the optional generator) and a supply of seawa-
ter (either salt or fresh).
The factory-installed air conditioning system consists of
three air conditioning units. The first, a 10,000 BTU
unit, is located beneath the forward stateroom berth.
This unit cools the forward stateroom, forward head,
and galley. Condensation from this unit drains into the
forward sump.
The second, a 16,000 BTU unit, is located in a cabinet in
the aft, starboard corner of the salon. This unit cools the
salon and aft head. Condensation from this unit drains
overboard through a thru-hull fitting on the starboard
hull.
The third, a 7,000 BTU unit, is located beneath the aft
stateroom berth. This unit cools the aft stateroom.
Condensation from this unit drains into the aft sump.
NOTE: Since the air conditioning condensation drains
into the sumps, the forward and aft Auto Sump circuit
breakers on the Safety Breaker Panel must be "ON"
whenever the air conditioning system is on.
The air conditioning system can produce heat when it is
operated in reverse cycle mode. Reverse cycle operation,
however, is affected by the temperature of the seawater.
As seawater temperature decreases so does the air
conditioning system’s ability to produce warm air.
Carver recommends that the air conditioning system
not be operated in reverse cycle mode when the seawa-
ter temperature is below 40 degrees F.
1. Remove and clean the air conditioning system’s
seawater strainer. The strainer prevents debris in
the seawater from entering the air conditioning
system. The strainer is located beneath the forward
hatch in the salon. Refer to the "Interior Hatches"
portion of Section 9 for the location of this hatch.
