In any yacht design, especially in the design of
a super yacht, air conditioning plays a critical
role. No matter how elegant the surroundings,
they won’t feel luxurious if the temperature
of the living area is less than comfortable. It is
wise, therefore, to engineer the air conditioning
system for the unique characteristics of
each yacht, and address climate control
with as much attention and expertise as
you give to the design of the yacht itself.
Occasionally, naval architects, builders, and
owners do not have the experience and
specialized knowledge it takes to assess real-
world air conditioning requirements. Look to
Dometic for the resources and
expertise you need. Our
senior engineers can
design your yacht’s air
conditioning
system
or review your design
and specifications to
make sure everything
is correct.

Custom Load Calculation Table Note
Based on the deck plan below, our engineers
compensated for the unique needs of each
accommodation space. In the Load Calculation
Table, the pilot house and the sky lounge
have different load factors although they
are on the same deck. This adjustment
is to offset the heat generated by
electronics and the surrounding
pilot house windows.
