CTM CW-36HS – Marine Chiller System 36,000 BTU – 230V – 50/60HZ – R410A w/Soft Start

Boats with three or more independent cabins needing solid mid-range central chiller capacity have a proven option in the CW-36HS, delivering 36,000 BTU with a built-in soft start board. One verified owner running it for about a year called it a “great little chiller” and a trouble-free drop-in replacement for their old Dometic unit.

At this capacity, soft start genuinely matters for electrical planning — a 36,000 BTU compressor’s standard startup draw can strain a limited generator or shore connection, and the 65-75% reduction in inrush current the soft start board provides is often the difference between reliable starts and nuisance breaker trips.

Why Choose the CTM CW-36HS

A verified owner’s real-world review backs up the trouble-free, drop-in nature of this replacement, and it’s covered by CTM’s standard 2-year warranty against material and workmanship defects. If you’re replacing a Dometic MCGX36 or TWCX36, the shared DDC control board makes for a genuinely simple swap.

What to Know Before Installing

• Confirm your vessel’s electrical system is genuinely wired for single-phase 220V/230V power before ordering
• This chiller requires separately specified CTM AH-series air handlers distributed to each independent zone
• Ships via freight given the 97 lb weight; commercial delivery address required
• If replacing a Dometic MCGX36 or TWCX36, this unit uses the same DDC control board for a straightforward swap
