Webasto A18 BlueCool A-Series Slimline Air Handler – 18,000 BTU – 230V

Description

Cabins with a narrow, tall installation bay needing a full 18,000 BTU of cooling get their match in the Webasto A18 Slimline Air Handler, delivering the largest single-blower capacity in the A-Series lineup within a vertical chassis built for tight width constraints. This narrow bay large cabin unit stands 26.2 inches tall but just 8.60 inches wide.

At this capacity, the slimline configuration solves a real installation problem for bigger cabins: a room genuinely needing 18,000 BTU often can’t spare the floor footprint a standard compact handler demands, and this vertical chassis delivers the same output by using height instead of width — fitting behind a bulkhead or in a tall, narrow closet space.

Key Features of the Webasto A18 Slimline Air Handler

This vertical mount 18000 btu handler brings the largest single-blower cooling capacity in the A-Series to installations where width is the binding constraint rather than height.

• Innovative Instant Drain Condensate Management System handles condensate automatically
• High-quality stainless steel construction throughout
• Flexible vibration isolation mounts and larger ducts reduce operating noise
• Oversized heat exchanger tested specifically under tropical operating conditions
• Compatible with the Webasto MyTouch color touchscreen control display

Why Choose the Webasto A18 Slimline

What to Know Before Installing

• A Webasto A-Series Cabin Control Kit is required for installation — this listing is the air handler only
• Measure your installation bay carefully — at 26.2″ tall and only 8.60″ wide, this is the tallest slimline unit in the A-Series lineup
• This handler requires a matching Webasto chiller (C-Series, V-Series, or VX-Series) as the central cooling source
• Can be extended with an EHM1200W or EHM1800W electric heat module and flow control valve for independent cabin heating
