CUSTOM DESIGNED COOLING SOLUTIONS

MORE SPACE WITH MORE COOLING

Ideal for DIY assembly!

REFRIGERATION UNITS FOR ALL TYPES OF APPLICATIONS

Where standard units don't fit, customised cooling space must be provided – an easy task with Dometic ColdMachine cooling units. Equipped with pre-charged refrigerant and self-sealing valve couplings, they are ideal for do-it-yourself installation. Three different series are available to suit all applications.

Dometic ColdMachine cooling units are powered by power-regulated compressors. They are powerful, economical and exquisitely quiet during operation, are tilt-insensitive and are ready for 12/24 volt DC connection. Each series comes with specially designed complementary evaporators to match the compressor performance.

COMPRESSORS WITH SPEED REGULATION

Every refrigeration system consists of a compressor, a condenser and an evaporator.

To ensure efficient operation, the three key components must be perfectly coordinated. The Dometic range includes a variety of condensers and evaporators for optimal configuration.

Dometic exclusively uses speed-regulated compressors. These compressors contribute significantly to the outstanding efficiency of Dometic cooling systems, together with the following factors:

• The compressor speed is precisely adapted to the performance needs of the rest of the system components (evaporator and condenser).
• For both types of compressor, plates and vanes are available in a wide range of shapes and sizes. This ensures that any vessel, regardless of its shape, is properly equipped. It also makes optimum use of the compressor's performance.
• Condensing units with active or paddle ventilation ensure the necessary heat evacuation at all times.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT REFRIGERATION UNIT AND MOUNTING LOCATION

• Condenser: What are the advantages of an air-cooled condenser?

All Dometic refrigeration units are air-cooled: heat is dissipated into the surrounding space via an actively ventilated or vane-type condenser. The advantage over a water-cooled unit: significantly lower installation and maintenance costs with similarly efficient operation.

After all, the air temperature in the hull of the boat below the waterline barely exceeds the temperature of the water.

• Evaporator: Plate or paddle?
  The larger the surface area of ​​the evaporator, the more heat it can absorb and the greater its capacity.
  For small chiller volumes, low-cost plate evaporators are ideal. Vane evaporators have up to five times the surface area of ​​plate evaporators of the same size.
• The ideal mounting location: where on the boat is the air coldest?
  The answer is clear: the best location is below the waterline, because there the air is already cooled due to the temperature of the water.

Dometic offers cooling units in various designs, so that even impractically shaped spaces can be used.
