 The safest, quietest, easiest to start, most efficient, reliable and most easily installed marine A/C available.

 

16,500BTU - side discharge

 Commercial quality, water cooled self contained units from 6,500 - 180,000 BTU's with digital controls from $1,499.00

16,500BTU - top discharge

 

 

Highest quality components!

Complete installation kits come with everything needed to install the unit except for the power supply wire and breaker.

No last minute hidden charges.

Bronze through hull intake fitting and stainless overboard through hull fitting, nickel plated full port bronze ball valve, hose barbs, magnetic drive March pump, 100% 300 series stainless steel clamps, bronze Groco strainer with Monel basket, duct, wire ties, discharge grills, return filter grill, digital control and cable: Installation kit page.

 

Multiple grills and ALUMINUM plenum are standard - Our duct kits come with an aluminum plenum and directional grills - There are no galvanized sheet metal components.

 

Optional teak grills in various sizes are typically in stock.

 

 Totally pre-wired -All of our units are totally pre-wired onto two clearly marked terminal blocks - any standard thermostat will operate all of our units.

Our emphasis is on simplicity of design while incorporating the highest quality components with multiple safety controls.

Exceptional Safety - Built in circuit breaker, triple heating element safety controls as well as dual high pressure safety shutoff controls make our units the safest available!

 

 

 Attractive, flush mounted digital control with backlit screen - You can use a simple manual override or take advantage of the eight programs available.

Automatically dehumidify your boat while away by programming a predetermined temperature for an hour/day.

The thermistor accurately measures the temperature of the stainless or aluminum faceplate for excellent temperature control. Available in black or white background.

 

 

Matsushita has been an industry leader for many years and is renowned for manufacturing high quality, low start up surge, quiet, durable and efficient compressors.

Unbelievably quiet due to our unique mounting isolator bushings, insulated blower chamber and rotary or scroll compressors - many of our customers have actually mounted our units under their bunk!

The Matsushita Rotary Compressors have been an industry leader for many years, and are renowned for being incredibly quiet. It's difficult to hear these compressors start, run or stop, even if you are standing right next to it!

Very easy to start - Soft start capacitors, stratified start up sequence and time delay compressor circuits in combination with our rotary or scroll compressors make our A/C units start effortlessly - our 16,500BTU unit should be on a 25 amp breaker!

Very low start up surge - The start up surge of these compressors is a fraction of the dinosaur like piston compressors! Millions of these compressors have been used for many years in window units - the piston compressors simply cannot meet the minimum energy efficiency standards.

Dry drain pans - The rotary and scroll compressors do not sweat and therefore do not sit in their own condensate and rust! All of our single evaporator models (less than 48,000BTUs and the low profile FMAC16PLP) have dry drain pans- there is a small drain pan only under the evaporator!

 

  Our exclusive 840 Incoloy clad tubular heating elements are almost identical to the heating element in your home electric oven, however we have coiled it into a tight coil and placed it in the discharge throat of the blower motor- it never gets red hot and therefore never "burns"the air.

Three temperature safety switches monitor this element. Dual controlling sensors as well as a blower post purge sensor which dissipates the remaining heat once the thermostat is satisfied makes this the safest and most reliable means of heating your boat.

Trouble free, safe and reliable electric heat works anywhere - in or out of the water - only one moving part!

We have thousands of these elements in service for many years -they have been standard equipment for the US and Canadian Coast Guard's 47' MLBs since 1996. Read about the numerous benefits of electric vs reverse cycle heat at our "Electric Heat" page.

 

 For larger applications:

These incredibly compact 60,000 BTU units have a tiny 24" x 27" footprint and are only 43" high. They really pack a punch - enough horsepower for 660 square ft. each!

Completely self-contained, these quiet and powerful units need only a power supply line, 15 GPM of seawater(or freshwater with a keel cooler or heat exchanger) and a condensate drain.

On a ship, four of these units will cool and heat an incredible 30' x 90' area!

Huge savings can be reaped in initial equipment expense, installation and maintenance expense - all while benefiting from redundancy.

Two seamen can swap out a unit in minutes in the highly unlikely event of a failure.

 

 

 

 

 

A recent addition to the Flagship lineup is this 18,500 BTU model:

It features the most powerful but quiet 120 volt compressor Matsushita makes, combined with a very powerful but quiet 1060RPM, split capacitor, 794CFM blower motor, an oversized three row evaporator and condenser.

This powerhouse will supply five 4" ducts and comes with 50' of 4" thermoflex duct.

Shown is a top discharge version - also available in 230 volt.

 

18,000BTUs of cooling and ONLY 10.5" high with a rotary compressor!

The newest addition to our lineup of fine equipment has been specifically designed for Catamarans and other applications that require low vertical dimensions.

The Tecumseh horizontal compressor made this all possible.
Measures only 26.5" long x 14.50" wide x 10.5" High!

Consumer Alert!

The following kit prices include EVERYTHING you will need for installation except the power supply wire and breaker - there are no last minute additional charges for cables, multiple duct kits, sea water kits, handling, crating, boxing etc. The ONLY additional expense is the shipping and sales tax (6.5% sales tax for products shipped to a Florida address only).

We pride ourselves on having the most simple and trouble free product available - a child can follow our schematics and we truly believe in the KISS principle (keep it simple stupid), and "If I can't fix it it doesn't belong on my boat"!

Because we simply have almost zero returns, we have no inventory of factory reconditioned units and have no scratch and dent specials - we must be doing something right!

Approximate Specifications

* The larger units usually have a single 12" duct or 3-4 6" ducts - we will supply whatever your particular application requires at no additional charge.

R=Rotary compressor S=Scroll compressor LP = Low profile

Our aluminum discharge plenums attach directly to the discharge flange of the blower motor, making attaching the ducts a simple task: add about 6" to the length of the unit for a side discharge unit or 6" to its' height for a top discharge unit. (about 8" for units larger than 20,000 BTUs)

One ton of cooling =12,000 BTUs/hour. One BTU is the amount of thermal energy required to raise the temperature of one pound of water one degree F. One calorie is the amount of thermal energy required to raise the temperature of one cubic centimeter of water 1°C. Units' BTUs are rated in BTUs/hour of continuous operation under ideal conditions.
