BlueComfort Premium Basic Integration
In a BlueComfort Premium system an A/C unit and a diesel - operated water heater are integrated into one system. The use of a water heater ensures full heating performance even at cooler sea water temperatures where the reverse cycle operation comes to its limits. In this integrated system the same water piping, air handlers, air ducting and cabin temperature control modules are used for both heating and A/C operation. For user friendliness, the main system is controlled via one control panel while each cabin has an individual temperature and blower speed control. The BlueComfort Premium system offers two integration options: the “Basic” and the “DeLuxe“ integration depending on comfort requirements.
Basic Integration
The Basic integration is simply integrating a water heater with a 3-way valve into the chilled water system. The valve ensures that no cold water is running through the heater which would cause condensation. Both, the heater and the 3-way motor valve are controlled by the A/C electronic control. A special heater with a lower temperature setting or additional thermostats are needed in order to limit the water temperature to 60 °C.
