Dometic Split Systems from Fischer Panda
Where self contained units are considered unsuitable, this could be for space-limited or noise-critical installations, then the condensing unit (the compressor with the sea water cooled condenser) is "split" from the air handler and placed in an engine room or other remote space. The air-handler / evaporator remains in the space to be conditioned. Compartment cooling is achieved by passing the air over a direct expansion evaporator coil where the liquid refrigerant is "boiling off". Temperature control is achieved thermostatically by cycling the compressor on and off according to the thermal load at any given time.
Heating suitable for worldwide operation is by electric elements installed on the unit in the same airflow as the cooling coil.
Heating suitable for warmer climates can be by reverse cycle. This is where the air-conditioning unit acts as a heat pump by reversing the flow of refrigerant through the evaporator and condenser and utilising the latent heat of evaporation of seawater. This is only effective in sea water temperatures >6°C
