Then why did you post a picture of a 3 stage chiller. There are 3 compressor units. Personally I would've gone with the new Dometic units with...
3 chiller units on the same stand stacked one on top of the other. There are 2 sets of gate valves on the right side of each chiller to shut off...
The 63' Hampton I manage is the exact same way and I would be more than happy to take a picture when I get to the boat on Monday, it has two 4 ton...
The system you are running and the boat you are on are not relevant to this thread. We are talking about yachts here, NOT a megayacht and NOT a...
Viking themselves states two 6 ton chiller units, they are 2 totally seperate chillers that are plumbed with the same water line and sea water...
The small sailboats are a lot more fun than the big ones. Just got to be careful you don't roll one and end up in the drink!
The 45 Cabo should cruise right at 28.5 knots at 1950rpms-2000rpms with the right props and 800 mans and 80% load, yours probably 2000 rpms, but...
Might be easiest to just change the transformers to AC to DC converters.
AC no, but then again I've never ever seen 24v ac g 4 lightbulbs either, just 12 volt ac. Hatteras uses a AC to 24v DC converter, usually Newmar....
You're splitting hairs and inaccurate. The 2 stage chiller on the Viking you refer to IS NOT ONE CHILLER. It is two seperately functioning...
The thread is talking about yachts and so was the op in it. He had a 46 FOOT Post remember, and Pascal a 53 FOOT Hatteras MY. Not some 100 meter...
The old Viking 75's were built by a company that is best known as Lazzara. They were pretty well built, but not as good as a Hatteras. I used to...
To add to this. There is no such thing as a 2 stage chiller and 3 stage chiller. They are totally seperate chillers that the water loop goes...
You get what you pay for. Viking is a very good builder as well. Since they're aren't any 10 year old Viking USA built MYs, I didn't mention...
Not sure totally. A 63' Ocean I used to manage had the solenoids mounted on the foward bulkhead of the engine room. They weren't too expensive,...
The 92' Viking has 2 6 ton chillers for a total of 12 tons of air conditioning. See page 20, the first line under MECHANICAL. " Air...
A lot more expensive to go chilled water. Routing all the chilled water lines and insulating them would be A LOT of labor in your boat. Plus I...
The build quality on the Hatteras is far above the Euro brands overall. Just go look at 10 year old motoryachts. I just got off a 2006 Hatteras...
Just put the LED bulbs in and be done with it. Transformers won't get hot with the little draw of the LED bulbs. I was just on a boat today...
No, the fluid generally bypasses when the tabs reach full extension. Yes, you can add TT indicators if you have bennett's, not sure about the...
