Chilled Water Marine A/C Systems

Specifications and Factory Direct Prices

Excellence in Marine Engineering Since 1995!

Our new design, which has evolved over many years of experience, has resulted in the most rugged, simple, trouble free and compact unit available today. A child can follow the schematic! No expensive proprietary printed circuit boards, no add on charges for "controllers"- everything is in one modular electric control box and is "over-the-counter"!

  

This 360,000 BTU dual compressor chiller has an incredible 31" x 52" footprint and is only 39" tall!	The evaporator refrigerant circuit is bufurcated with a single chilled water loop, so you have two completely isolated refrigerant circuits!
	The control box has independent RANCO temperature controllers, transformers, circuit breakers and voltage/phase protection, and everything is over the counter!

This 10 ton extreme-duty chiller has been designed for sea water temperatures of up to 105°F and is fitted with optional sea water manifolds with 150# four bolt flanges, chilled water flow switch and refrigerant gauges.

ALL components of our standard-duty,  8 ton unit are easily accessible.

These units are charged with the zero ozone depleting and readily available, over the counter NU22 (AKA R422b) - no high pressure gasses with special oils and resultant ACID DAMAGE HAZARD WHICH CAN DESTROY YOUR EVAPORATORS - FAN COILS! This is a new nightmare you may not have heard of yet with the new high pressure refrigerants!

What sets Flagship Marine apart from our competition is our belief in the KISS principle (Keep It Simple, Stupid). This has guided our component selection and design emphasis for many years. We brag that even a child can follow our schematics! Look at this single compressor chiller electric box. All the components are “over the counter” at a fraction of typical costs in our industry. The most expensive item here is less than $53.00! Flagship Marine incorporates only the highest quality components that are primarily manufactured in the States, and all the production takes place at our factory locations in Stuart, FL.

WHY FLAGSHIP MARINE UNITS NEVER HAVE CONDENSER FAILURES! The heart of every marine air conditioner is the condenser—the heat sink to the ocean and the only component the corrosive sea water touches is the inside of the inside tube.  Failure of this tube is catastrophic for the entire system. Even corrosive places like the Red Sea are no problem for Flagship Marine condensers because we use an unusually thick walled 90/10 CuNi (copper nickel) tube with particular annealment, hardness and other characteristics. We don’t dramatically shorten our condensers by enhancing this tub: knurling or rifling for example. Our tube is “slick walled” with no thin spots that fester these failures.

Flagship Marine has always prioritized durability and quality over cost savings and we NEVER cut corners. We also don’t skimp on our brazing material—ALL refrigerant lines are brazed with a 15% silver alloy, not the 5% typical of other manufacturers. As a result, Flagship Marine is very proud to have had almost ZERO condenser failures in the last two decades! CHOOSE FLAGSHIP MARINE FOR CONSISTENT QUALITY AND DURABILITY!

CONDENSER SERVICE TIPS Every 5-7 years or so, it's good form to chemically clean the inside of the condenser tube with a phosphoric acid solution (such as "Barnacle Buster"), and if in fresh water every couple years with a bleach solution.  In locations with muscle crab infestations more frequent treatments may be necessary.  This will bring the condenser back to a like-new condition. Over the years the heat transfer will be diminished by a marine growth which will gradually increase the refrigerant pressure and reduce efficiency. Simply circulate the solution through the condenser for a couple hours or so (depending on the dilution), and when you're done a high pressure garden hose will help blast away any stubborn deposits. Muriatic acid will also work but it unnecessarily removes the protective patina and is VERY hard on your lungs and the environment!

All Flagship Marine condensers are hand-crafted from start to finish at our Stuart factory location to our exacting specifications.

All our design work is accomplished with the most current DESIGNWORKS programs.

Our 14 gauge, 304 Series stainless steel, one-piece, precision laser cut, TIG welded chassis provides superior support for all the chiller components.

OPTIONAL SEA WATER MANIFOLDS

Also available, for a fraction of the cost, are these Hi-Max PVC manifolds that come with the hose and double stainless steel clamp connections - properly sized for your particular chiller.	Flagship Marine's sea water manifolds are 90/10 CuNi schedule 80 pipe, which is MUCH more durable (about 10x thicker!) than our competitors' tubing. These, in combination with the socolets, meet mil spec requirements and will FAR outlast all others. No sinking or water damage hazard from ruptured hoses or paper thin manifolds at 3AM!

 

All condenser tube to manifold connections are made with precision machined 90/10 CuNi (Copper Nickel) socolets that are TIG welded to the schedule 80 90/10 CuNi nipple with a monel alloy and brazed with a 15% silver alloy brazing rods to the condenser tubes to ensure many years of trouble free service. This configuration meets all MilSpec and ABYC requirements. Naked connections aren't nearly as durable and fail to meet those standards. For your convenience all manifolds are fitted with reducing couplers and a 3/4" drain plugs for winterizing.

Flagship Marine takes no shortcuts with quality and design!

FREQUENCY DRIVES AND DIGITAL SCROLL COMPRESSORS?

The new frequency drive and digital scroll compressor technology is certainly interesting, and it's very entertaining to watch a scroll compressor spool up and down, but in the marine industry we see no appreciable benefit to warrant the significant complexity and expense to justify incorporating this technology in our equipment.       Scroll compressors, by their design, ALWAYS start "unloaded", regardless of residual head pressure.  They can restart one second after shutting down effortlessly, unlike a piston or rotary compressor.  The only concern is having enough run time to insure the refrigerant oil returns to the compressor, so it's good form to have a significant temperature differential.       Flagship Marine strives to provide the most simple, trouble free and durable equipment available, and frequency drives and digital controllers are certainly not in keeping with the KISS principal that guides our component selection and design.  Of course if you do want these compressors we will oblige!      If saving 3% in electricity over the life of the compressor is important to you, then these new technologies might justify the initial added component expense, and the complexity and ongoing maintenance expenses you will incur over the years.  We will be happy to oblige.

Typical single-evaporator chilled water fan coil features: Precision-engineered 16-gauge anodized aluminum chassis, drain pan and evaporator housing are lightweight and corrosion resistant. Drain pan under evaporator only. This results in a dry chassis and no condensate sloshing. Engineered hat-section reinforcing plate provides exceptional strength and light weight. Incredibly rugged and simple over-the-counter components in electric box – no proprietary, expensive printed circuit boards! Whisper-quiet Dayton split-pole blower motors, absent the humming sounds of variable speed DC motors.

 

 

The optional heat can be one of our legendary incoloy clad electric elements in the fan coil (shown), an in line oil fired boiler, an electric element in the chiller, or reverse cycle. We prefer the electric elements in the fan coils because the entire system is shut down when in the heating season - the only moving part is the blower motor when heat is called for. We have had tens of thousands of these elements in service for many years - they are extremely safe and basically indestructible.
