Marine Air Conditioning Special Offers

Up to 40% off Climma Marine Air Conditioning Units

Penguin Refrigeration are offering excellent deals on certain Climma Marine Air Conditioning products. If you are thinking of fitting marine air conditioning  to your boat then look at the offers available on the Penguin Refrigeration website. With up to 40% off Climma compact units there are some real deals to be had.  If you are unsure exactly what you need to fit AC to your boat or require help with the system layout, Penguin can provide a detailed specification and quote for you.  All that is required is confirmation of the boat type and size, a rough floor plan to confirm the size of unit required plus any basic layout details that you have.

Climma Marine Air Conditioning is Straight forward to fit

Climma equipment is easy to fit, very reliable in operation and straight forward to maintain and service.  The key factors to consider when looking at installing a marine air conditioning system are:

1. Find a dry location to site the unit that is tucked away, but where you can easily duct the air to the delivery grill and also get good return air back to the air intake grill.  Good locations for sleeping cabins include under the berth or in the base of a wardrobe.  You can also locate the unit in the the lazzarette which will reduce the noise in the cabin, but to do this ideally you will need to box it in and then duct the air in and back from the sleeping cabin.  In the main saloon under the seating is normally the best place to site the marine air conditioning.
2. Locate the air delivery grills as high as possible – you are looking to project cold air across the ceiling of the cabin so the whole area is cool.  Low down outlets simply freeze your toes.
3. Keep the duct runs as short as possible and make sure the duct is straight and tight (not sagging).
4. It is just as important to get return air to your marine air conditioning unit.  Make sure that the air intake of the unit is not obstructed and there is a minimum 50mm gap between the intake and any bulkhead.  Climma supply air intake grills or you can relieve the wood work, create a slot or overhang to make sure you have sufficient air returning.
5. The marine air conditioning unit is sea water cooled and requires a sea water pump to circulate the water through the unit.  The sea water pump must be located below the water line close to the intake as they are not self priming. Penguin advise having a dedicated outlet for each ac unit onboard so you can easily confirm that there is sufficient cooling water going through the condenser on each marine air conditioning unit installed.
6. Run the electrics making sure you have dedicated breakers for the AC (and pump if running multiple units) and you are done.

Typical Marine Air Conditioning Layout

New Stainless Steel Drawer Fridge and Freezer Cabinets from Frigoboat

Elegant MS Stainless Steel Drawer Fridge and Freezers

Frigoboat have introduced a new range of high quality stainless steel drawer fridges and freezers for use with their 12/24 Volt DC compressors and cooling units.  Built to the same dimensions as their hugely successful MS fridge and freezer range the new Frigoboat drawer series is built to the same exacting standards using stainless steel inside and out.  Polished stainless interior with brushed stainless drawer fronts they are built for the marine environment and are ideal for yachts or other mobile or outdoor applications.

Specification of Frigoboat Drawer Fridge and Freezer Range

The 2 drawer fridges are designed to operate between +10°C and 0°C in up to 40°C ambient and above. They are ideal for out door bar and entertainment areas on large yachts or as galley fridges on smaller sailboats and motor yachts (note on sailboats  a fridge drawer or freezer should only be fitted in the fore and aft direction – never athwartships).  Freezers are ideal for galleys or to provide additional freezer storage when passage making, allowing easy access while at sea.

The fridge drawers feature a minimum of 50mm insulation throughout and the freezer drawers 80mm insulation with heated door seals. The drawers run on tough nylon runners on a stainless housing with a mechanical stop.  Drawers are held in place with internal catches when closed for security at sea.

Fitting is straight forward and choice of cooling unit allows you to optimise the cabinet to your specific requirements.  All cabinets are supplied with 2.8m refrigerant pipes, pre-charged with refrigerant using Frigoboat’s excellent resealing quick connect couplings, allowing you to connect your drawer fridge to either an air cooled, water cooled or keelcooled compressor and cooling unit depending on the specific application.  Compressors are DC powered (either Danfoss BD35 or BD50) but can be easily upgraded to run AD and or DC as required.
