Isotherm Smart Energy Control Reduces OnBoard Power Use

Isotherm Smart Energy

With Isotherm Smart Energy Control, Indel Webasto Marine offers the opportunity to dramatically reduce on board power consumption for refrigeration appliances.

This kit can be easily retrofitted to upgrade the energy saving capabilities of your existing Isotherm refrigeration product. The new CRUISE Elegance line provides a pre-formed location in the cabinet.

How does it work ?

The sophisticated, processor-based Isotherm Smart Energy Control technology achieves significant power consumption savings by continuously scanning a set of key environmental factors to determine what is the most relevant compressor speed to maximize the performance/battery drain ratio (COP).

The device not only makes your fridge intelligent but also allows the storage of a significant amount of cold energy into the loaded food and drinks. Isotherm Smart Energy Control reduces the cabinet temperature more than a traditional fridge without freezing the food. This is continuously monitored by an air sensor in the cabinet. The cooling energy is stored when a power surplus is available (engine on or connection to grid) and reused first, before the fridge is running on battery.

The result: Up to 35 % savings due to a more efficient use of the compressor and up to 50 % savings with combined effects of stored cooling energy in food and drinks.

Multiple benefits from a simple kit:
No need for eutectic plates / special storage devices
Easy to retrofit
Quick cooling in boost mode
Soft start option to avoid starting surges

Neptunus 650F Review

Neptunus 650F 400

By Andy Adams

Over the years Canadian Yachting has had the pleasure of doing several boat review articles on new Neptunus models and we are familiar with the qualities that Neptunus is famous for. They have all been exceptional yachts, but this is the one I would most want to own myself. It’s a personal choice and a matter of taste as to whether you would prefer to have a sedan express model or a flybridge but in my opinion, the flybridge layout offers some wonderful attributes.

We met with Neptunus Managing Director Jan Willem De Jong this past fall to take the new Neptunus 650F out in Lake Ontario.

The Other Virgin Islands

Sunset off St John

By Mark Stevens

I was first seduced by the United States Virgin Islands during a ferry ride from St. Thomas to Tortola to begin one of our earliest British Virgin Islands charters nearly twenty years ago.

A perfect sunset off St. John with St. Thomas views for backdrop.

Clearing Pillsbury Sound, surrounded by voluptuous emerald mountains as the ferry sliced through royal blue waters, I was struck by the unspoiled ambiance of St. John, the island gliding past our starboard beam and the irresistible charm of a village called Cruz Bay visible from our quarter stern.
