System layouts

Self-contained, split or chiller: there is no universal solution.

The choice depends on vessel size, zone count, available space, electrical supply, airflow routes and the seawater circuit.

Self-contained

An integrated standalone unit close to the conditioned area.

Split

Separate components to suit layout and noise requirements.

DC

12/24/48 V solutions where the project requires them.

Chiller

A central system for several zones and more complex projects.

Actual climate system installation inside a boat

A real project

The installation must work alongside furniture, electrics and seawater systems.

  • Equipment location and access
  • Ducts, return air and grilles
  • Condensate
  • Seawater pump and circuit where applicable
  • Electrical supply and controls
  • Vibration, noise and future maintenance

NAVTERIS works with MBC Marine, Thermowell, Dometic and Webasto and serves projects in Valencia, Castellón, Alicante, Murcia and the Balearic Islands.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers.

What cooling capacity does a boat need?

Vessel length alone is not enough. Cabin volume, glazing, insulation, occupancy, orientation, ventilation and operating conditions also matter.

What is a yacht chiller system?

A central system cools or heats a water circuit and distributes energy to terminal units in different zones. It is used where the project calls for several zones and greater centralisation.

Can you replace existing marine equipment?

Yes, after checking dimensions, capacity, connections, water circuit, drainage, electrics, ducts and compatibility with the available space.

Where do you work?

Our marine HVAC service covers Valencia, Castellón, Alicante, Murcia and the Balearic Islands, subject to marina and travel coordination.

Which brands do you work with?

MBC Marine, Thermowell, Dometic and Webasto, selected according to the installation type and project availability.
