Key on heat is to set the temp low. The water doesn't need to be scalding. 20 degrees is the temp delta that encourages the heat exchange to be...
My experience, best outcome is heat pump setup for most conditions. Especially for a glass boat. I'm relying on a twin 12kw heat strip setup in...
Agreed. Im running 2 x 5, but mostly just one. I only energize #2 if the need is recognized. The chiller tonnage can be outmatched by the air...
I'm 68 feet, and I have 6 air handlers on the main deck. Two in the aft salon, two in main salon, one in the galley, and one in the wheel house....
My ER setup...
I went with Technicold units, well set up with plenty of 316 stainless. Most all systems rely on MicroAir controls.
Don't over-equip. Im a 68 foot Burger, but wide body. I have as much interior SF as you do. I spend summers in NE and winters in SE. At 10 ton...
I went straight cool with the chillers to avoid reversing valve failures. Mistake given my stretches of time up north each year. I installed two...
yeah, chillers, no brainer. You can live with 2 x 60k BTU. That's what I have on 68 feet of aluminum, and it's effortless with around 12 tons of...
I have a hunch those smaller structures were never designed to protect the bridge. I believe they were former bases for the high voltage lines...
I see the fenders you're referring to. I believe their purpose is to protect this type of impact from a ship that is only mildly straying. I...
If that was her track, how was she trying to make a hard starboard turn throughout the two blackouts. There are a few foundational islands for...
Quite likely correct, and it certainly got away from him in a hurry.
...or even a protocol of escort once set free with the pilot. She also seemed to be steaming pretty darn fast...
I went to 3 x 6-inch inline fans 120v, 395 CFM. I use one on each side to pull in fresh air. I use one port side for forced discharge. I find...
Sort of rings that there is a dedicated bank here that is weak and perhaps has its own main breaker that has tripped. I know I have a primary...
I think I might have Tourettes...
I had a theory recently about the use of retracting thrusters for slow speed maneuvering on a large sailing vessel equipped with a through-keel...
A guy I know rebuilt one of these, and in doing so began a 24v DC panel early to begin receiving modern gear, shifting 12v reliance to 24 wherever...
You know much more than I do on the subject, but glad to see that my database is accurate to this degree.
