Webasto C81 – R BlueCool C-Series Chiller – 81,000 BTU’s – 230V

Mid-to-large yachts with three or more independent cabins that need serious central cooling capacity without reaching the C-Series’ largest tier have a strong option in the Webasto C81-R, delivering 81,000 BTU/h of central chiller cooling with the same multi-stage flexibility as its larger siblings.

This webasto chiller multi stage unit can be configured across 1 to 4 stages depending on the vessel’s zone count and load variability, giving installers real flexibility to match the system to the boat rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all central plant onto every layout.

Why Choose the Webasto C81-R

This unit carries Webasto’s standard 2-year warranty. Note that the locked rotor amperage (54A) is identical to the larger C108-Q model despite the lower running current — a detail worth confirming with Webasto if you’re sizing a soft starter or backup power system, since it may reflect the same compressor platform shared across both capacity tiers.

What to Know Before Installing

• This chiller requires separately specified air handlers (Webasto’s A-Series) distributed to each independent zone
• The 3 x 20A max circuit breaker spec reflects the multi-stage compressor configuration — plan your electrical panel accordingly
• Ships via freight given the 308 lb weight; commercial delivery address required
• Professional installation and electrical planning is strongly recommended at this capacity
