The Webasto BlueCool VX-Series is a modular air conditioning solution tailored for marine applications. It features four models with variable speed compressors – 36, 48, 60, and 72 kBTU/h – operating at 230V. These units can be combined to form scalable systems ideal for larger vessels with multi-zone cooling requirements.
This series is engineered for maximum efficiency, boasting an Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) of up to 5.6, leading to significantly reduced energy consumption and operating costs. Environmentally conscious, the system uses R32 refrigerant (GWP 675), offering a greener alternative while meeting strict regulatory standards. The compact footprint – up to 55% smaller than conventional systems – and a corrosion-resistant titanium condenser ensure optimal performance and long service life.
Key features:
- Variable speed technology for consistent temperature control
- Up to 20% lower energy consumption
- Modular setup – combine multiple units
- Space-saving design – up to 55% more compact
- Titanium condenser for durability in marine environments
- Eco-friendly R32 refrigerant (GWP 675)
The Webasto BlueCool VX-Series is a modular and scalable marine chiller system designed for optimal energy efficiency and flexible installation. Thanks to its variable speed technology and compact footprint, it ensures constant indoor temperatures and reduced power consumption.
How to configure a complete chiller system – step-by-step guide:
Core Unit – VX unit
Select the appropriate number and size of VX units based on required cooling capacity and redundancy needs. Up to six units with different capacities can be combined. Each VX unit includes:
- Integrated chiller electronics
- MyTouch display with 5m cable
- Installation and operation manuals
Pump Control – VX Pump Control Box
Must be ordered separately. At least one pump control box is required per system and connects via VX-System Bus.
Accessories for VX unit:
- Silent block kit – optional vibration dampers for individual VX units
Sea Water Circuit – required components (not included):
- Sea water inlet
- Sea water strainer
- Sea water pump
- Shut-off valve
- Overboard discharge
- Water hoses
Chilled Water Circuit – required components (not included):
- Circulation pump
- Insulated pipe or hose system
- 3-way valve (optional)
- Expansion tank
