Flagship FM180CW – Chiller 180,000 BTU’S – 230V – Cool Only

Yachts with several independent living areas — separate staterooms, salon, and crew quarters each needing their own climate control — outgrow what a single split system can deliver, and the Flagship FM180CW chiller fills that gap with 180,000 BTU of water-cooled capacity. Built around the same 90/10 copper-nickel condenser tube Flagship uses across its lineup, this large yacht chiller system is engineered to resist corrosion failures even in extreme salinity conditions like the Red Sea.

A central chiller like this changes the maintenance equation for a big yacht: instead of servicing multiple independent split systems scattered around the vessel, one chiller plant circulates chilled water to air handlers in each zone, giving a single point of service and diagnostics instead of several. That’s the real value proposition once a boat’s cooling needs cross into six figures of BTU capacity.

Why Choose the Flagship FM180CW

Flagship’s published warranty terms cover the condenser, chassis, compressor, and evaporator for five years parts and one year labor, with controls, pump, and blower covered for one year parts and labor — solid coverage on equipment at this scale. Given the voltage/phase discrepancy noted above, confirming your exact electrical setup with Flagship or CTM before ordering is essential at this investment level.

What to Know Before Installing

• Confirm actual voltage and phase configuration directly with Flagship given the discrepancy noted in the specifications above
• This chiller requires separately specified air handlers distributed to each independent zone — it is not a complete system on its own
• Ships via freight given the 625 lb weight; commercial delivery address required
• Professional installation and electrical planning is strongly recommended at this capacity
