CTM CX-24HS – 24,000 BTU Condenser – Marine Split A/C Unit – 230V – 50/60HZ – R410A w/ Soft Start

For boats needing serious cooling capacity without stepping up to the 36,000 BTU class, the CTM CX-24HS condenser delivers 24,000 BTU with soft start technology built in — letting the compressor run on a smaller generator or inverter than it would otherwise need.

Why Choose the CTM CX-24HS

Soft start matters most for boats running on limited shore power, a smaller generator, or an inverter — it lets a 24,000 BTU compressor start without demanding the huge inrush current a standard compressor would pull, opening up options like running two AC units on a single 30-amp cord.

Given the current draw figure appears identical across multiple CTM condenser listings regardless of capacity, treat the published 7.6A/9.0A figure with some caution and confirm directly with CTM before sizing breakers — the locked rotor amps and fuse rating, which do scale correctly with capacity, are more reliable for planning purposes in the meantime.

What to Know Before Installing

• EPA certification must be provided before shipping
• Requires a separately purchased evaporator — this listing is the condenser only
• Confirm actual current draw with CTM given the repeated data overlap noted above
• An 8-pin Elite II control with cable can be added at checkout if needed
