3 Overview
3.1 Outline Drawing
3.2 How It Works
Your self-contained air conditioner consists of four main components and a refrigerant gas circulating through the
system. The BLOWER draws warm cabin air across the fins on the EVAPORATOR where the heat from the air is
transferred to the refrigerant in the evaporator coil. As the refrigerant evaporated from a liquid into a gas, it absorbs
the heat from the cabin air. The COMPRESSOR then compresses the refrigerant gas and pumps it through the outer
tube in the CONDENSER COIL. The seawater pump circulates cool seawater through the inner tube in the condenser
coil; this cools the refrigerant and condenses it into a liquid. The heat from the refrigerant is exchanged to the seawater
and discharged overboard. The liquid refrigerant is then passed through the EVAPORATOR COIL and the cycle repeats;
removing heat from the cabin air lowering its temperature. The cooled air is blown through the ducting and out the
supply air grille(s). For reverse cycle heating, the refrigerant flows in the opposite direction through the reversing valve.
Heat is transferred from the seawater in the condenser coil to the refrigerant and then to the air blowing through the
evaporator into the cabin. Seawater temperature will directly affect the A/C's efficiency. This A/C system can effectively
cool your boat in water temperatures up to 90°F and heat in water temperatures as low as 40°F.

4 Installation
4.1 Unpacking and Inspection
When the equipment is received, all items should be carefully checked to ensure there is no damage from shipping.
Move units in the normal "up" orientation as indicated by the arrows on each carton. Examine by removing the units
from the cartons if necessary. If the unit is damaged, the carrier should make the proper notation on the delivery
receipt acknowledging the damage.
4.2 Safety Considerations
VERY IMPORTANT: Never install your air conditioner in the bilge or engine room areas. Ensure that the selected
location is sealed from direct access to bilge and/or engine room vapors. Do not terminate condensate drain line within
3’ (914mm) of any outlet of engine, generator exhaust system, compartment housing an engine or generator, or in a
bilge, unless the drain is connected properly to a sealed condensate or shower sump pump. Seal all cabin sole
penetrations around condensate hoses to eliminate harmful bilge fumes in the cabin living spaces.
Installation and servicing of this system can be hazardous due to system pressure and electrical components. When
working on this equipment, always observe precautions described in the literature, tags and labels attached to the unit.
Follow all safety precautions. Wear safety glasses and work gloves and place a fire extinguisher close to the work area.
The following is a summary of the labels on the unit:
DANGER
Electrical shock hazard. Disconnect voltage at main panel or power source before opening
:
any cover. Failure to comply may result in injury or death.
This component does not meet federal requirements for ignition protection. Do not install
WARNING
:
in spaces containing gasoline engines, tanks, LPG/CPG cylinders, regulators, valves or fuel
line fittings. Failure to comply may result in injury or death.
This component is charged with Hydro chlorofluorocarbon (Hydro fluorocarbon) refrigerant
R410A. Effective July 1, 1992, it shall be unlawful for any person to knowingly vent or
NOTICE:
otherwise knowingly release any class 1 (CFC) or class 2 (H CFC) substance as a refrigerant
in a manner which permits such substance to enter the atmosphere per the clean air act of
1990. Public law 101-549 title IV section 608-c. Failure to comply may result in severe
penalties, including fines and imprisonment.
To minimize the hazard of electrical shock and personal injury, this component must be
CAUTION
effectively grounded. Refer to the installation guidelines for further information. Caution!
:
High compressor temperature is normal. Do not touch!

4.3 The size of sealed room
The size of sealed room should not be too small; otherwise it will affect the unit normal functionality.

4.4 Placement of System
Selecting a good location for your air conditioner is the most important part of your preparation. Be sure to consider
the size of the area you are cooling, the air distribution needs, and the size of the unit you have chosen. Keeping in
mind that cool air has a tendency to fall; it is highly recommended that you locate the supply air grille as high as
possible in the cabin. Don’t leave the flexible ducting too long; otherwise it will lower the efficiency of the unit. Refer
to the proceeding diagram as an example.

Tools required:
The unit should be installed as low as possible, BUT NEVER IN THE BILGE OR
ENGINE ROOM AREAS, ENSURE THAT THE SELECTED LOCATION IS SEALED
FROM DIRECT ACCESS TO BILGE AND/OR ENGINE ROOM VAPORS. Installing
the unit as low as possible (such as under a V-berth, dinette seat or bottom of a
locker) and ducting the supply air as high as possible, creates an ideal airflow
condition. This type of installation will prevent short or premature cycling.
The unit should be positioned on a firm, level, horizontal surface and the
condensate drain line should run downward from the unit to a suitable drain
location. Plan all Connections, which must be made including ducting,
condensate drain, and seawater in and out, electrical power connections,
location of control, and seawater pump placement, to assure easy access for
routing and servicing.
4.5 Condensate Drains
The condensate drain pan is 2” (50mm) high with four drain locations. During
conditions of high humidity, condensate may be produced at a rate of
approximately 1/2 gallon per hour (1.9 liters per hour). Please pay more
attention, it is important to route condensate drains downward to a sump
pump. It is not recommended to route condensate drains to the bilge. After the
condensate drain installation is complete, test the installation by pouring water
into the pan and checking for good flow.
For installation of the condensate drain:
◆
◆
◆
◆Screws drivers
◆Pliers
◆Pipe wrench
◆Wire cutters/crimpers
◆Drill bit set
◆Jigsaw
◆Duct tape
◆Electrical tape
◆Teflon tape
◆Compound Sealant for
thru hull fittings
◆Hardware to secure
unit, pump, strainer,
grilles & control panel
Attach a 3/4" or 5/8” reinforced hose (as required) to the hose barb and secure with stainless steel hose clamps.
Install the condensate drain hose downhill from the unit and aft to a sump.
Up to 4 drain fittings may be used and the two hoses (teed) together using a tee fitting provided there is a
minimum 2" drop from the bottom of the base pan to the tee connection.
