The new era of marine control

Share:

When it comes to marine air conditioning, efficiency and silence are not just luxuries – they are essential requirements.

The Climma AirPro fancoil series by Veco, designed specifically to address the challenges of the marine environment, represents a significant evolution in HVAC technology, combining high performance with an uncompromising focus on onboard comfort.

For yachts and superyachts, climate control systems must operate efficiently while fitting into increasingly compact installation spaces. At the same time, low noise levels are essential to preserve the quiet and comfortable atmosphere expected onboard. The AirPro series addresses these requirements by combining advanced fan technology, flexible installation and materials designed for the marine environment.

Maximum energy efficiency

The core innovation of the Climma AirPro series lies in its brushless fan technology. Unlike traditional motors, these advanced fans operate with high energy efficiency, helping to significantly reduce power consumption while providing precise airflow control.

This technology allows the fancoils to combine performance and efficiency in a compact marine HVAC solution. The AirPro range covers capacities from 6,000 to 38,000 Btu, providing options suitable for different onboard climate-control requirements.

Another important advantage is the low operating noise. The brushless fan technology enables the fancoils to deliver the required airflow while minimizing the background noise typically associated with older air-conditioning systems. The result is a quieter onboard environment, allowing passengers and crew to enjoy greater comfort.

For modern yachts, where acoustic comfort is an increasingly important part of the overall onboard experience, this combination of energy efficiency and silent operation represents a significant benefit.

Installation flexibility and integration

Installation flexibility is another defining characteristic of the AirPro design. Space is often limited on yachts and superyachts, where HVAC components must be integrated into carefully optimized technical areas. The compact footprint of the AirPro fancoils makes them suitable for these demanding installation conditions.

The ability to integrate climate-control equipment within restricted spaces can simplify system design while supporting the efficient use of available onboard areas. This is particularly relevant when designing new vessels or upgrading existing systems during refit projects.

AirPro also benefits from full integration with VecoHub, the control interface developed to manage onboard Climma and Frigoboat systems from a single device.

Owners can therefore control the relevant systems through different interfaces, including a dedicated touchscreen, a chartplotter or a smartphone. This centralized approach simplifies interaction with the onboard climate-control system and provides greater flexibility in how the equipment is managed.

Integrated control for onboard comfort

The integration between AirPro and VecoHub is particularly relevant to the evolution of modern marine HVAC systems. Rather than treating individual components as independent units, the system allows different Climma and Frigoboat functions to be managed through a common control interface.

For owners and crew, this can make everyday operation more straightforward. Access to climate-control functions through different devices also means that system management can be adapted to different onboard situations and user preferences.

The combination of marine air conditioning, intelligent control and compact equipment design therefore contributes to a more integrated approach to onboard comfort.

Designed for the marine environment

Marine HVAC equipment operates in conditions that can be considerably more demanding than those encountered in conventional environments. Exposure to humidity, salt and a corrosive marine atmosphere places specific requirements on materials and components.

The Climma AirPro fancoils are designed with durability in mind, using high-quality materials resistant to the corrosive conditions typically found onboard vessels. This approach supports reliable operation over time while addressing the specific environmental challenges associated with marine applications.

Another important element is the condensate drainage system. In a marine environment, the vessel may operate while heeling, creating additional challenges for the management of condensation generated during air-conditioning operation.

The specialized condensate drainage system is designed to maintain effective operation even when the vessel is heeling, helping to ensure reliable performance under different operating conditions.

Efficiency, silence and durability

The main characteristics of the AirPro series work together to address three fundamental requirements for modern marine climate control: efficiency, acoustic comfort and durability.

Brushless fan technology contributes to reduced energy consumption and precise airflow management. The low-noise operation helps create a quieter environment onboard, while the use of materials suitable for the marine atmosphere supports long-term durability.

At the same time, the compact design and integration with VecoHub provide additional flexibility when designing and managing the overall HVAC system.

These features are particularly relevant in the yacht and superyacht sector, where onboard comfort must coexist with strict requirements for space optimization, energy management and reliable operation.

A new approach to marine climate control

With the Climma AirPro series, Veco combines advanced fan technology, compact design, integrated controls and marine-oriented construction in a single HVAC solution.

The result is a system designed to deliver high performance without compromising the characteristics that matter most onboard: low energy consumption, quiet operation, installation flexibility and reliable performance in the marine environment.

For both new-build and refit projects, AirPro represents a smart and sustainable approach to marine air conditioning, helping yacht owners and builders achieve a higher standard of onboard climate control.

In a sector where comfort increasingly depends on the seamless integration of technology, the AirPro series demonstrates how efficient and silent HVAC systems can become an integral part of the modern onboard experience.
