Vector compact marine air
The Vector Compact self-contained direct expansion air conditioners are designed for marine applications incorporating the following features:
Patented compact design with the condenser coil in the evaporator shroud
High efficiency rotary compressor (7-16K) or scroll (24K) compressors
Raised lance fin designed evaporator coil
Polyurethane coated 2 deep drain pan with multiple condensate drain locations
Pre-charged and pre-wired systems for easy connections
Charge Guard ensures environmental protection and system integrity
Here is how it works. Your self contained air conditioner consists of four main components and a refrigerant gas circulating through the system. The blower draws warm cabin air across the fins on the evaporator where the heat from the air is transferred to the refrigerant in the evaporator coil. As the refrigerant evaporates from a liquid into a gas it absorbs the heat from the cabin air. The compressor then compresses the refrigerant gas and pumps it through the outer tube in the condenser coil. The seawater pump circulates cool seawater through the inner tube in the condenser coil, this cools the refrigerant and condenses it into a liquid. The heat from the refrigerant is exchanged to the seawater and discharged overboard. The liquid refrigerant is then passed through the evaporator coil and the cycle repeats. Removing heat from the cabin air lowers its temperature. The cooled air is blown through the ducting and out the supply air grille. For reverse cycle heating, the refrigerant flows in the opposite direction through the reversing valve. Heat is transferred from the seawater in the condenser coil to the refrigerant and then to the air blowing through the evaporator into the cabin. Seawater temperature will directly affect the a/c unit s efficiency. This a/c unit can effectively cool you boat in water temperatures up to 90F and heat in water temperatures as low as 40 F.
