Tug chiller upgrades keep cool at ITS
HVAC specialist Dometic Marine was showing how its multi-stage modular chillers can benefit a range of commercial vessels during the ITS 2012 Convention in Barcelona.
Designed for easy installation in small spaces, Dometic Marine’s compact chiller modules offer a durable, long term solution compared with bulky, non-modular chillers that are typically less manageable.
The chiller modules feature Dometic Marine’s unique space saving ‘box’ design and compact footprint, making them easy to install and service. Each system can be customised by stacking vertically or horizontally to best fit the vessel’s available space, offering a convenient solution for smaller commercial vessels with limited space on-board, including tugs, workboats and patrol boats.
“Older equipment used on tugs and workboats can be larger, heavier and more intrusive, making it difficult to service and replace, so our modular chillers are a popular choice for smaller commercial vessels and customers seeking to refit their air conditioning”, said Dometic Marine’s Paul Hickinbotham.
