Best time to think about air conditioning on your boat?

It's when you're freezing your 🥜's off in January. Not on July 3rd when you are having the whole family onboard tomorrow. Get in touch to see how we can help improve the comfort on your boat for the coming season.

We are at the 2024 New England Boat Show! Come stop by our booth and say hello to discuss how battery powdered air conditioning can improve your experience on the water!

Here's a well-installed MAXI 12 air handler for the VRV air conditioning system. Our techs fabricated custom plywood knees which fit the hull shape and provided a stable platform for the rest of the system installation. Due to a high static pressure blower, and an electronic expansion valve (EEV), it can move high-velocity air past its super cold coil, resulting in a tiny package with 12K BTU of cooling capacity. 🥶

Phil poses next to a new Whisper Power Piccolo 4 generator! It's only 150 lbs and is used exclusively to charge a lithium battery pack. The onboard air conditioning stays on 24 hours daily by running on power stored in these batteries. When the charge gets low, this compact generator is started to put the juice back in!

Here you can see the various refrigeration line sets connecting to the manifold at the VRV compressor unit.

The VRV air conditioning system is designed to be highly efficient and use minimal energy. It works by using variable refrigerant flow technology, which means it adjusts the amount of refrigerant it uses according to the temperature in each zone, allowing it to cool or heat different areas of the boat more efficiently. It also features advanced features like multi-stage compressors, high-efficiency heat exchangers, and precise temperature control. This system is designed to provide long run times from stored energy in batteries, offering generator-free operation!
