The Cruisair / Dometic REU Condenser is the next generation of seawater-cooled, reverse-cycle heat pumps for cooling and heating in marine applications.

This marine air conditioning condensing unit can be installed with up to two Dometic cooling units, where the total cooling unit capacity is equal to the condensing unit capacity. Some applications may allow up to three cooling units on one condenser (contact us for for assistance in design, prior to installation).

When cooling, full performance of the REU is available in seawater up to 90 ° F (32 ° C). In reverse-cycle heating, the unit will provide heat in seawater as low as 40 ° F (4.4 ° C). The high-efficiency compressors can work at full capacity while requiring less power.

With the intelligent design of the REU, additional service ports allow for ease of charging and servicing, and easy installation and removal. The Type R condenser is the ideal drop-in replacement for the older F type.
