The Critical Role of Yacht Air Conditioning The Three Biggest Challenges When Choosing the Right Company
In any yacht design, especially in the design of
a super yacht, air conditioning plays a critical
role. No matter how elegant the surroundings,
they won’t feel luxurious if the temperature
of the living area is less than comfortable. It is
wise, therefore, to engineer the air conditioning
system for the unique characteristics of
each yacht, and address climate control
with as much attention and expertise as
you give to the design of the yacht itself.
Capacity From 16,000 to 2.52 Million BTUs
For Yacht Lengths of 20m to over 90m
Dometic’s chillers range in capacity
from 16,000 to 2.52 million BTUs. To
meet many unique needs, systems
are available in a variety of styles, such
as compact units, modular staged
units, and mammoth tube-andshell systems for very large yachts.
Custom chillers can also be designed
to meet special needs.
