中文简体A marine air conditioner is a piece of equipment designed to heat and cool a boat. It's not as complex as an AC unit in a house, but it's still a good idea to follow manufacturer instructions to make sure your marine ac is working properly.There are several factors that go into choosing an air conditioner. First, you should figure out what type of climate you live in. For example, if you're in a temperate climate, you'll need to multiply the length and width of your cabins by different load factors to determine the size of the air conditioner you'll need.
You'll also want to consider the total area of your room. Then, measure the distance from the floor to the wall in the middle of the room. This will determine the area of your air conditioning ducts.Another factor to consider is the amount of ventilation your ac unit will need. Most units have a safety switch that shuts off the compressor if the system pressure is too high. When the weather is bad, this is an important consideration.
If you're going to be in the water, you'll also need to make sure your boat is protected from the sun. To do this, you can add a bimini or shade tree awning. Alternatively, you can put a sun fly strut over the back of your boat.Lastly, you'll need to decide whether to use a self-contained or central condensing unit. Self-contained ACs do not require discharge ducts. But they do cost more to install.
