SCP - Direct Expansion Split Systems

Split Marine air conditioners

MBC Marine – SCP Marine air condition units are direct expansion systems consisting of two separate units (condensing and ventilating units), which represent the ideal solution to meet the air conditioning needs of sailing and motor boats.

The use of split systems minimizes the noise level in the cabins because the compressor (condensing unit) can be installed outside the living area. This also represents the optimal solution in situations where there is not enough space to install a self-contained system. The most typical installation places the condensing unit in the engine compartment to isolate the noise from the compressor, while the ventilating unit is generally installed below the sofa, bed, or inside a piece of furniture in one cabin. The condensing and ventilating units of a split system are connected by means of insulated copper refrigerant pipes. This split marine air conditioner units come with standard 2.5-meter long insulated pipes; it is also possible to increase the distance between the two parts of the air conditioners up to 7-8 meters. For such long distances, it is suggested to contact the MBC technical department for advice.

The SCP A/C  systems are available in four models ranging from 10,000 to 24,000 BTU/h cooling capacity. Thanks to the heat pump design (reverse cycle operation), they provide the most convenient solution for year-round use. SCP units are carefully designed to be lightweight and compact for quick and easy installation in any suitable room of every boat. 

MBC Marine – SCP type air conditioning systems come with elegant LCD backlit digital control panels as part of the standard kit. These units are equipped with easy-to-remove and washable air filters to ensure constant filtration and the best quality of indoor air. To facilitate the connection of the air ducts to the air conditioner, the blower can be rotated, allowing for many installation options.

All MBC Marine A/C Split system units are manufactured from durable materials – all metallic components are made of stainless steel.
