20. Air Condioning (oponal)
The reverse cycle air condioner system consists of a 12,000 BTU self contained air condioning unit,
a seawater pickup, strainer, water pump, sump pump and control unit. The air condioning unit,
located on the starboard side of the a berth, can be accessed by removing a panel located on the port
side of the air condioner cabinet. Care should be taken to not stow items around the unit that may
block the return air grill or damage the refrigerant gas lines to the compressor.
Operaon
Prior to starng the air condioner make sure that the water pickup seacock, located in the a bilge
and accessed through the cockpit oor access hatch, is OPENED. The air condioner is controlled by a
keypad located on the starboard side of the cabin. The panel allows for either automac control of a
preset temperature, or it allows you to vary the blower speed and temperature manually. When the air
condioner unit is turned on, seawater is pumped into the system through the seacock and strainer.
The water passes through the compressor cooling the condensing coils, then ows overboard to a thru
hull drain. Any condensaon on the air condioner unit will collect in the air condioner pan and drain
overboard.
There are two direconal air ducts located on the air condioner cabinet providing air throughout the
cabin area.
