Description
The smallest chiller in Webasto’s C-Series lineup, the C16 delivers 16,000 BTU/h for boats making their first move from split systems into central chiller cooling. This entry central chiller small yacht unit is Webasto’s lowest-capacity, lightest, and most economical central chiller option at just 75 lbs.
Starting with the smallest C-Series unit makes sense for boats consolidating just two zones, and because the C-Series shares design language and diagnostic tools across every capacity tier, stepping up later if a boat’s cooling needs grow follows a straightforward, predictable path.
Key Features of the Webasto C16 Chiller
This unit brings the full C-Series feature set to the smallest available capacity, without compromising on the diagnostics or construction quality found in Webasto’s larger central chillers.
- BlueCool Expert Tool enables remote diagnostics and troubleshooting from anywhere via USB cable and Wi-Fi
- Compressor noise reduced by up to 25% compared to previous generations
- Continuous cooling capacity maintained even in tropical operating conditions
- Cooling and heating via reverse cycle function included as standard
- The smallest and lightest chiller in Webasto’s C-Series lineup at 75 lbs

Webasto C16 Chiller FAQ
How much does Webasto C16 weigh?
Webasto BlueCool C16 weighs exactly 59.5 lbs net weight. This compact modular central chiller unit delivers 16,000 BTU of output, enabling marine rigging specialists to isolate core compressor machinery inside central engine bays without overbalancing the hull layout or adding unnecessary dead weight down on small vessel hull stringer grids.
What waterline port size is required?
Webasto BlueCool C16 requires a 5/8 inch waterline port. This factory standard connection provides consistent raw water circulation across the built-in titanium coaxial heat exchanger loop, optimizing thermal exchange ratios and securing active corrosion immunity within silty, high-salinity coastal bays or brackish intercoastal waterways.
When is Webasto C16 best applied?
Webasto BlueCool C16 is best applied as a compact remote chiller station for multi-cabin pocket trawlers. The system comfortably routes its 16,000 BTU load to separate stateroom evaporators, keeping bulky machinery away from primary staterooms to maximize liveable space and eliminate noisy active equipment vibration.
