METSTRADE: New air conditioning and sunroof solutions from Webasto

Stockdorf/Amsterdam – November 9, 2022 – Webasto, system partner for the mobility industry, always focuses on developing innovations for the marine sector to actively shape its future. Under the motto “We are creating enjoyable boating experiences” visitors to the Webasto booth (hall 12, stand 411) can experience the newest, innovative additions to the broad portfolio of refrigerators and air-condition solutions as well as a completely new developed roof solution.

Sun protection system for boats

One of the highlights at Webasto's booth this year is the Telescopic Shade 2500, an electrically extendable sunshade system that provides shade in the stern area of the boat at the touch of a button. With a width of up to 2.50 meters, the Telescopic Shade can be customized to fit any boat. The high-quality sunshade fabric, available in several colors, and the marine-grade stainless steel tubes ensure that users will enjoy the Telescopic Shade 2500 for a long time. The product has a particularly robust design so that it can remain extended even while the boat is underway. During development, Webasto also paid special attention to ease of installation, so boat builders can assemble the system in just a few steps. Another special feature is that the two telescopic arms do not require any complex synchronization after installation.

New air conditioning system

The BlueCool V-PROSeries is the most efficient and user-friendly chilled water air conditioning system Webasto has developed to date. The new marine air conditioning solution is available in four modular units with 60, 90, 130 or 180 kBTU/h, which together provide up to one million BTU/h of system cooling capacity. The units operate fully autonomously for high system availability and continuous operation. Thanks to a titanium seawater heat exchanger, the system is particularly resistant to corrosion. The integrated monitoring of the water flow in the seawater and cold-water systems also ensures reliable operation. Various equipment options such as pipe manifolds, mounting racks or system control cabinets allow customization according to customer requirements.

As a further highlight, Webasto will also be showing an upgrade of BlueCool Connect, the remote-control center for the entire BlueCool series. It now features an NMEA2000 interface and also offers a plug&play connection for multifunction displays with HTML5 functionality from Garmin, Raymarine, Simrad, Lowrance or B&G.
