I am currently working on the electical systems design for a new
sailing catamaran that will be built over the next year. Space and
weight are at a premium, but the boat will be somewhat power hungry
(Instrumentation / Aircon / Heat / Entertainment etc.)
After originally specifying a 12KW A/C genset to provide power for
Aircon, battery charging, reverse cycle heating, and general A/C use -
it has been suggested that I look at a DC system with inverters to
supply general A/C use.
The gains appear to be subtantial: Simpler systems, much lighter
weight equipment and more efficient generating power being the main
ones.
I was wondering if any group members had any personal experience
recommending (or warning against for that matter) a DC system, or
could point me in the general direction of any reviews of such
systems on the web or otherwise.
Thanks in advance.
