Webasto FCF Platinum 10,000 – BTU Marine Air Conditioner – 230V

Description

International yacht electrical systems often need a 230V cabin unit that can cool during hot-weather cruising and heat during cooler overnight conditions. The Webasto FCF Platinum 10,000 230V delivers 10,000 BTU/h in both modes through a self-contained marine air-conditioning system. The supplied guidance identifies cabin quarters up to 400 cubic feet and lists a minimum generator capacity of 2.5 kW.

Key Features of Webasto FCF Platinum 10,000

Configured for compatible 230V shore power and generator systems, this compact unit combines reverse-cycle climate control with 295 CFM airflow for enclosed cabin spaces.

• Delivers 10,000 BTU/h cooling for cabin quarters up to 400 cubic feet.
• Provides reverse-cycle heating when onboard temperatures drop after sunset.
• Works with compatible 230V, 50/60 Hz, single-phase yacht systems.
• Moves 295 CFM through a five-inch duct for directed cabin airflow.
• Uses 250 GPH seawater flow to remove heat from the condenser.
• Uses a stainless pan, enamel chassis, and cupronickel condenser coil.

Application and Installation Notes

The FCF Platinum 10,000 230V is configured for international yacht grids or internal 230V generator sets. Before installation, confirm the 15 A circuit breaker, 2.5 kW minimum generator guidance, 250 GPH seawater circuit, five-eighth-inch hose connections, half-inch condensate drain, five-inch ducting, and suitable service clearance around the chassis. Onboard performance depends on correct airflow and unrestricted seawater circulation.

Who This Unit Is Not Ideal For

This unit is not suitable for 115V-only boats or open spaces requiring more than 10,000 BTU/h. It may also be oversized for very small enclosed berths. Final capacity selection should be based on the boat’s measured cabin volume and real heat-load conditions.

Warranty and Product Summary

The Webasto FCF Platinum 10,000 includes a 2-year factory warranty. Manufactured in Germany, it combines 230V cooling, reverse-cycle heating, 295 CFM airflow, and self-contained marine HVAC construction for compatible cabin applications.
