Seawater-Cooled Condensers With Reverse-Cycle Heating

R type remote condensing units are seawater-cooled, reverse-cycle heat pumps for cooling and heating in marine applications. Large R type units are available in capacities from 20,000 to 48,000 BTU/hr.

These condensing units can be installed with up to two Cruisair evaporating units, where the total capacity of the evaporators is equal to R type unit capacity. In cooling mode, full performance is available in seawater up to 90°F (32°C). In reverse-cycle heat mode, they will perform in seawater temperatures as low as 40°F (4.4°C).

R type units have a one-piece chassis/pan with a smaller footprint and two 1/2 in. (13 mm) drain connections. Hold-down brackets secure all four corners and allow for easier installation and removal. The one-piece electrical box with 3 ft. (0.9 m) harness can be remotely mounted. Additional service ports provide convenient charging and servicing.
