4.0 Internal Systems
4.1 Air Conditioning System
For the air conditioning system to operate, it needs a source of AC power
(supplied by either a shore power source or the generator) and a supply
of seawater (either salt or fresh).
The interior air conditioning system is arranged in a “split” configura-
tion. Two condenser/compressor components are located in the engine
room in the aft starboard corner. Each supports two evaporator/blower
components. The evaporator/blowers are located throughout the boat:
• Beneath the counter in the port aft corner of the galley to cool the
salon, dinette and galley.
• Beneath the pilothouse-to-flybridge stairway to cool the pilothouse.
• Behind the water closet in the port head to cool the head and master
stateroom.
• Beneath the VIP stateroom berth to cool the VIP stateroom, third
stateroom and starboard head.
The optional bridge chiller system is a single air conditioning unit lo-
cated beneath and behind the bridge wet bar.
4.1.1 Producing Heat
The air conditioning system can also be used to heat the boat’s interior.
The evaporator/blower in the master stateroom and VIP stateroom each
contain a heat strip which, when turned ON, allows the evaporator/
blower to blow warm air. Refer to 3.3.2.38 Guest Stateroom A/C Unit
and 3.3.2.39 Master Stateroom A/C Unit for more information.
The evaporator/blower units in the galley and pilothouse can each prod-
uct heat when operated in reverse cycle mode. Reverse cycle operation,
however, is affected by the temperature of the seawater. As seawater
temperature decreases so does the evaporator/blowers’ ability to produce
warm air. Carver recommends that the evaporator/blowers not be oper-
ated in reverse cycle mode when the seawater temperature is below 40
degrees F.
4.1.2 Powering the Air Conditioning
1. Make sure the air conditioning seacock is closed. There is a seacock
each for the interior air conditioning system and the optional bridge
chiller system. Remove and clean each system’s seawater strainer.
