Dometic Introduces Deck-Mounted Marine AC for Jack-Up Vessels
New Package Units Are Designed for Long Life and High Performance in Marine Environment
POMPANO BEACH, Fla. - December 6, 2006 - Dometic Environmental Corporation has introduced a new 14,000 BTU air-cooled marine air conditioning unit designed specifically for jack-up boats and barges.
The new SSA14K is a self-contained package unit that includes the compressor, condenser, evaporator, blower and other mechanical and electrical components on a single compact chassis. It is bolted directly to the deck. The built-in return-air and discharge-air plenums cool the compartment directly below without duct runs. A simplified digital thermostat/display unit is included. Multiple units can be installed on deck as needed.
The units have been designed and built specifically for the salt-air marine environment. The chassis and enclosure are stainless steel. The condenser and other components are Heresite coated for additional corrosion protection.
"This is an example of how our engineers design products to fit the unique requirements of niche applications such as jack-up vessels," said Charlie Barefoot, vice president of engineering for Dometic Environmental Corporation. "They can be easily installed or replaced with a quick drop-in and bolt-down operation, with no seawater plumbing or air ducts to install."
All Dometic Environmental products are backed by an uncompromising quality regime, an industry-leading warranty program and a worldwide network of factory-trained service technicians.
