Tell us about the water cooled air conditioners, please!


===========================================

What do you want to know? They are fairly common on power boats where
you've got enough power to run things like that. My trawler has 4
water cooled air conditioners with reverse cycle heating, 2 water
cooled refrigeration units, and a water cooled freezer. Fortunately I
have a neighbor here in FL that knows how to keep it all running. :-)
The fridges and freezer have individual circulating pumps for their
condensing units (small gas/water heat exchanger coils), and the A/Cs
are all driven from one large circulating pump similar to what you
would use for a swimming pool filtration system.


What mechanism provides the cold?

Do you have an airconditioner pump, evaporator and condenser to cool
recirculated water?

I was twigged when you indicated water cooled A/C, and was hoping
your system used cool sea water to provide modest cooling to the
cabin, with no power needed to actually chill the water.

Guess not.

Thanks,
