Self Contained Air Conditioning Systems
For Smaller Boats Up to 12 Meters (40 Feet)
Self-contained units are typically the best choice for smaller boats up to about 12 meters (40 feet) due to the lower cost of the units and installation.
Split Air Conditioning Systems
For Boats Up to 24 Meters (80 Feet)
Split air conditioning systems have the condensing unit and air handler installed in different locations.
- The condensing unit is mounted in the engine room or other mechanical space.
- The air handler (also called the evaporator) is installed in the living area. Two air handlers can connect to one condensing unit.
Tempered Water Air Conditioning Systems
For Large Boats and SuperYachts
Cruisair tempered water air conditioning systems (also called chilled water) consist of a chiller, located in the engine room, that cools (or heats) fresh water, then pumps it through an insulated piping loop to air handlers located in the living spaces, where the air is cooled (or heated).

Freezetec custom manufactures the AquaCool commercial marine air conditioning systems for vessels with special needs such as passenger ferries.
Choosing an air conditioning system for your boat
1. Determine the approximate BTU's required for your vessel:
a. Standard Usage (Temperate Zones)
Below Deck: - Length x Width x Average Height in Feet x 9 BTU
Middle Deck: - Length x Width x Average Height in Feet x 14 BTU
Top Deck: - Length x Width x Average Height in Feet x 17 BTUb. High Temperature Applications (Tropical Zones)
Below Deck: - Length x Width x Average Height in Feet x 14 BTU
Middle Deck: - Length x Width x Average Height in Feet x 17 BTU
Top Deck: - Length x Width x Average Height in Feet x 23 BTU
2. How To Determine Approximate Generator Size
