DuraSea DCA36E

Designed for Maximum Durability

Dometic DuraSea air conditioning condensing units are designed for maximum durability in the harshest of nautical applications.

These rugged units offer long service life, exceptional performance, energy conservation, and reliability when properly secured.

The DuraSea's cabinet is constructed of stainless-steel 304, which resists heavy salt-spray and also provides UV protection. Designed for deck or rooftop mount, the optional risers elevate the unit above the mounting surface to provide excellent water drainage and protect the coil from debris and salt water.

To further fortify the unit from severe marine conditions, corrosion-resistant stainless-steel fasteners are used, and all other external components have a protective coating.

The control box and compressor are strategically located within the cabinet for easy service access and for extra protection against corrosion.
