As we mentioned a couple of weeks back, starting as of this year, Dometic will be merging both their Cruisair and Marine Air lines under one, single Dometic Marine Air Conditioner brand.

All of your favorite Cruisair and Marine Air units, as well as replacement parts for your current AC systems, will still be available, just under a different product number in most cases.

For instance, the crowd-favorite, Crusair Stowaway Turbo self-contained AC units (STX16, STX8, etc.), will still be available, and will be the exact same unit, just branded with the Dometic logo and the new product numbers starting with DTU (Dometic Turbo Unit), like the DTU12 for instance, with 12,000 BTUs.

We’ve added a new Dometic section to our website, including all of the new product numbers and names, as well as corresponding units that were replaced.

Dometic does, however, have several displays and controls that are unique to the Dometic Brand (not previously released as Cruisair or Marine Air). Here they are.

Dometic Displays and Controls for Your Marine Air Conditioner

Always staying on the cutting-edge of new technology, Dometic doesn’t fail to deliver with their marine air conditioning displays and controls.

Not only are they smart, user-friendly, and work to make your AC systems as energy-efficient as possible, but they have attractive and modern designs, as well.

PLDPro Small PLC Display

This sleek, Programmable Logic Control (PLC) uses advanced microprocessor technology in order to maximize a system’s performance, protect your AC system with fault protection monitoring and shut-down routines, and has an intelligent and intuitive menu-driven operation, supplying the user with vital information of all of a system’s key components.

The simple, 6-button keypad allows you to change operation modes, as well as change system parameters and more.

PGD1 Remote PLC Display

The PGD1 is a microprocessor-based display designed to control multiple marine chiller units from one point. The PGD1 was designed to allow user flexibility, improved controls and protection of your chiller’s components.

The PGD1 has the following functions:

CHILLER ENABLE Enter setpoints for both heating and cooling and monitor chill water temperatures and pump current information.

CHILLER SUMMARY See the state of your HP, LP and FS and view your state water temperature out for all stages that are available. Selecting a stage on the screen will take you to that marine chiller stage for additional info.

CHILLER STAGE Go to the first stage, where you can monitor the system refrigerant circuit and chilled water circuit. All stage parameters can be viewed from here.

TRENDS View graphically how your system has been performing. Download information to a USB. Water temperatures and pressures as well as compressor current graphing is available.

ALARMS Alarms can be reviewed and cleared. Alarm history can also be viewed from here by using the navigation buttons on the top that take you to the alarm history. View back from minutes to months in the fault history. Link to a help screen displaying possible causes of your alarm to aid in the troubleshooting of your system.

TOUCHSCREEN NAVIGATION L-3388 ENGLISH 3 REMOTE SUPPORT Enable a third party to view your system over an Internet connection via a VNC (Virtual Network Computing) server.

The PGD1 allows selection and sequencing of up to 6 chillers, selection and sequencing of 2 chill water pumps and 2 sea water pumps, selection and sequencing of up to 6 EH heaters, as well as sequencing of devices for run-time equalization.

Dometic PGD Touch Screen Flush (For Chiller, VARC48, or STIIC)

Controlling marine water chiller systems has never been so easy.

The Dometic PGD Touch Screen / Smart Touch Chiller Control’s intuitive interface provides current status, operational trends, real-time monitoring (animated) of the refrigeration circuit and more.

The high-definition display can be mounted in your marine chiller’s electrical box or in a convenient remote location. It comes in 7″, 10″ or 13″.
