Evaporator Material

CuNi (Copper Nickel)
CuNi (Copper-Nickel) heat exchangers offer outstanding corrosion resistance, as their natural durability protects them from seawater and chemical exposure, unlike coated aluminum heat exchangers, whose protective layer may wear off over time. They have a longer lifespan, require less maintenance, and provide better heat transfer efficiency due to the superior thermal conductivity of the copper-nickel alloy. Additionally, they are more mechanically resistant, less prone to damage, and easier to clean, as they are less susceptible to biofilm and other deposits. For these reasons, CuNi heat exchangers are the ideal choice for marine environments and extreme operating conditions.

Blue Fin Coated Aluminum
Blue Fin coated aluminum heat exchangers provide enhanced corrosion resistance by applying a protective hydrophobic layer to the aluminum fins. This coating improves durability in humid and salty environments, reducing the risk of oxidation and extending the unit’s lifespan compared to standard aluminum. The Blue Fin coating also enhances water drainage, preventing moisture buildup and improving heat exchange efficiency. While not as durable as CuNi heat exchangers, Blue Fin coated aluminum offers a cost-effective alternative with improved performance in challenging conditions, making it a suitable choice for marine and coastal applications.

Soft Starter
The Ultimate Solution for Optimized Start-Up The MBC Easy Start allows any air conditioner to operate with a lower voltage power source, eliminating the need for a larger or additional generator. It significantly reduces the compressor’s start current, making it a custom-engineered soft starter specifically designed for single-phase motors. The MBC Soft Starter utilizes a four-part self-optimizing start ramp sequence to achieve the lowest possible start-up current. This makes it the perfect solution for running air conditioners with a generator or inverter, even when utility power is limited.

Cooling / Heating

In marine air conditioning systems, cycle reversal allows the unit to switch between cooling and heating by reversing the refrigerant flow through a four-way valve. In cooling mode, heat is absorbed from the indoor air and expelled into the seawater, while in heating mode, the system extracts heat from the seawater and transfers it inside. This efficient process enables year-round climate control using a single system, but its effectiveness depends on seawater temperature, as extremely cold water can reduce heating performance.

WARRANTY TERMS

These Warranty Terms apply only to sales of new units and accessories (hereinafter “the Products”) made by MBC MARINE Kft. (hereinafter “the Company”) to the benefit of a Dealer belonging to the Company distribution network. By Dealer, this means any natural or legal person approved by Company who purchases the Products within the framework of their professional activity, to sell on to sub-purchasers. These warranty terms do not in any way limit any rights which, due to law applicable to reselling the Product to a sub-purchaser, cannot be excluded or restricted. The Dealer shall be solely responsible for the arrangements of sale and warranties applicable to reselling the Product to the sub-purchaser, regardless of their quality.

CONTRACTUAL WARRANTIES The contractual warranties mentioned below are granted only to the Dealer, who acknowledges and declares that it shall have the material resources, specific knowledge and technical skills to carry out the services (including installation and after-sales services), furthermore undertakes that through its qualified, trained personnel, it shall provide these services in perfect quality with proper diligence and skills. Products benefit from a contractual warranty for all hidden defects for a duration of 2 (two) year starting from the Product delivery date by the Dealer to customer (the “Customer”). If requested by Company, the delivery date shall be proven by the Dealer with proper documentation (handover protocol, signed and filled out warranty card etc.). This warranty includes the replacement or repair (chosen by Company) of all parts, recognised as faulty by Company. The repair time is not included in Company warranty period; and no replacement unit shall be provided by Company either to the Dealer or to the Customer for this period. Products sold by Company to the Dealer are subject to these warranty terms which shall be in lieu of all other Company warranties, whether express or implied. The Dealer is not authorized to assume or undertake, on Company’s behalf, any liabilities in connection with the Dealer’s sale of Product other than as set forth in these warranty terms. The Dealer shall identify and hold Company harmless with respect to any undertakings, assumptions or representations made by the Dealer beyond those which are included in these warranty terms.

SPECIFIC WARRANTY The 2-year contractual warranty does not apply to Products being used for commercial gain (any hiring or chartering activity falls into this category), since these Products may be covered by a duration of 1 (one) year warranty which is starting from the Product delivery date by the Dealer to the Customer. If requested by Company, the delivery date shall be proven by the Dealer with proper documentation (handover protocol, signed and filled out warranty card etc.).

ARRANGEMENTS FOR IMPLEMENTING THE WARRANTIES If a warranty claim arises, the Dealer must notify the Company by email (info@mbc-marine.com) within a maximum of eight (8) days from the receipt of the claim. This does not affect the Dealer’s obligation to investigate and evaluate the case before informing Company on the claim received. Any claim will also be required to quote the serial number of the Product concerned, and where applicable the serial number of the part(s) involved in the warranty claim, along with all supporting documents (brief description with photos and videos). Furthermore, the claim shall indicate the exact circumstances under which the problem occurred. Company may, in order to investigate the claim, ask for any details and demand any necessary supporting evidence. Company shall assess the claim and inform the Dealer whether the defect is subject to Company warranty or a result of non-appropriate installation / use / maintenance of the Product, which is not covered by Company warranty. Immobilization of the Product following problems encountered and/or replacement and/or repair work, whatever the duration, does not create entitlement to compensation. Company shall not, under any circumstances, be liable for transport fees, customs duties and other ancillary expenses, except as otherwise stated below. If the claim can be handled locally and the cost of repair shall not be more than EUR 150 + VAT, the repair and/or replacement shall be carried out by the Dealer at the expense of Company. Company shall not bear any other cost in relation to the repair. The cost of the repair shall be invoiced by the Dealer within 15 days. Should the nature of the repairs require the work under warranty to be carried out in Company’s workshop or in a place different to the place where the Product is situated and the cost of the repair is expected to exceed EUR 150+VAT, the Company shall have it repaired or replaced (if the defect cannot be repaired), after it verifies that the defect indeed falls within Company warranty terms. The cost of returning the defective Product to Company shall be paid by the Customer. The cost of return shipping by Company to the Customer and the cost of repair, if any, shall be borne by Company, which additionally shall not accept fees for taking out and returning to boat if the Product needs to be taken out. The defective Product shall, in all cases, be returned to Company in its original packaging.
