Webasto V50 M V-Series Variable Speed Marine Chiller
Webasto V50 M identifies a V-Series variable-speed marine chiller for adjustable cooling output across compatible vessel climate systems.
- Variable speed adjusts cooling output.
- V-Series identifies the chiller platform.
- Marine chiller supports centralized cooling.
- V50 M identifies the configuration.
- Compatible distribution remains necessary.
Boats with three or more independent cabins wanting variable speed comfort without the largest V-Series footprint find their match in the Webasto V50, delivering 8,500 to 50,000 BTU/h from brushless DC compressors controlled continuously by inverter technology. This is the smallest capacity option in Webasto’s variable speed V-Series lineup, positioned below the V64 and V77 models.
The real benefit of variable speed control at this capacity is comfort consistency — instead of the harsh on/off cycling of a fixed-speed chiller, the compressor ramps smoothly to match the exact cooling load, which means steadier cabin temperatures and none of the startup noise or electrical surge that comes with conventional compressors kicking on.
Why Choose the Webasto V50
This unit carries Webasto’s standard 2-year warranty, and the near-zero 2.5A starting current makes it a strong fit for boats on limited generator or shore power capacity. Given the part number discrepancy noted above between the page reference and the spec table heading, confirming the exact revision with Webasto or CTM before ordering is a reasonable precaution.
What to Know Before Installing
- This chiller requires separately specified air handlers (Webasto’s A-Series) distributed to each independent zone
- Compatible with the Webasto MyTouch control display, sold separately
- Ships via freight given the 137 lb weight; commercial delivery address required
- Professional installation and electrical planning is strongly recommended
