Dometic introduces Voyager series variable capacity marine air conditioning to the Australian market

Dometic first launched its innovative Voyager Series TX Variable Capacity Self Contained Air Conditioning system in 2021 in Florida, now making it’s Australian debut at the Sydney International Boat Show this August, 2023. This new system provides superior comfort for today’s yachts while reducing energy costs, operating noise and required repairs and maintenance.

The Voyager Series TX accomplishes this by regulating its compressor speed based on the cooling or heating demands of the vessel. When the vessel has reached an operator-set comfort point, the compressor will then run at reduced speed. This results in quieter operation, superior efficiency, improved dehumidification of interior spaces and more consistent temperature for enhanced crew comfort.

“You live better, fish better when you’re comfortable, well rested and relaxed. Dometic’s Voyager Series Variable Capacity AC is just for that purpose,” said Eric Fetchko, President of the Marine Segment for Dometic. “It regulates compressor speed based on cooling or heating needs, rather than cycling on and off all night. So you can enjoy a quiet, comfort onboard. A true game changer for the industry, Dometic is excited to display voyager at SIBS this year.” Fetchko added.

By utilizing a variable speed compressor (instead of a fixed speed one), the Voyager Series TX provides vessel owners with substantial energy cost savings. Extensive Dometic testing has shown that replacing existing systems with Dometic’s Voyager Series TX can net as much as 40% reduction in amperage. (own comparison)

The Voyager Series TX also offers an ECO Mode function that allows the operator to manually lower compressor capacity to limit amperage draw — preventing system shutdown when a vessel is in limited power situations.

Dometic’s Voyager Series TX offers another important advantage for vessel owners. Longer sustained run cycles reduce wear and tear on the unit, when compared to the repeated start/stop operation of traditional units. This can help reduce repair costs and troublesome

downtime — something no boater wants during the heat of the boating season.

The Voyager Series TX well-thought-out design includes a robust titanium condenser, an electronic expansion valve for precise control, a removable electric box that can be remote mounted, and a compact overall size for versatile installation and retrofits aboard a wide variety of vessels. Dometic has also combined the control/inverter into a single, space-efficient design for easier and more versatile installation.

Two size options are available to meet a wide range of onboard cooling and heating needs from 3,500BTU to 18,000BTU.
