Zephyr ZF Kits
Features
DIRECT EXPANSION
The cooling-only Zephyr (ZF) air conditioning unit fits
easily beneath a vee-berth or settee, in the bottom of a
closet or any other out-of-the-way location. The quiet,
efficient squirrel-cage blower can be rotated at installation
for either a vertical or horizontal discharge. Air is carried
through insulated ducting to a discharge grill. An optional
dual duct kit is also available, permitting you to discharge
cool air in two locations.
The Zephyr kit contains the air conditioning unit,
sea-water pump, strainer, thru-hull fittings, hoses, duct,
grills controls and all other components. All you'll need to
make the installation is several hours of time and a few
standard tools.
Like all Cruisair products, the Zephyr air conditioner is
backed by a worldwide network of factory-trained
servicing dealers. Wherever you go, you're never far from
a Cruisair dealer.

ZF Specifying Guidelines
Divide the boat into three categories:
1. Below deck cabins with sloping sides and few
portlights, such as a vee-berth
2. Mid-deck cabins with vertical sides and large
windows
3. Above deck cabins with many windows and
exposure to sunlight
Measure the area of each cabin in square feet. If one
end of the compartment is narrower than the other, take
your measurement in the middle for an average. Then
use the table below to determine the proper size air
conditioner.
About R-22
The Zephyr air conditioner is pre-charged at the factory
with R-22 refrigerant gas. Under current federal environ-
mental regulations, R-22 will continue to be available at
least through the year 2020. The R-22 is contained in a
closed loop, which is sealed to prevent any of the gas from
escaping into the environment. It will not be necessary for
you to add or remove refrigerant at installation.

ZF Installation Guidelines
The following is a simplified explanation of the steps involved in installing
the Zephyr (ZF) air conditioner. Make sure you refer to the complete
Installation Manual when actually installing the system.
1. Select the Location. The Zephyr unit is normally mounted low in a
closet, under a vee-berth or settee, or any other out-of-the way location.
Cool air is carried through the insulated flexible ducting to a discharge air
grill located on a wall as high as possible in the compartment. Seawater is
pumped through the unit from an underwater thru-hull fitting and is
discharged overboard. The switch assembly is mounted on a convenient
wall in the compartment, no more than 10 ft. from the Zephyr unit. It’s
recommended that the components be placed in the appropriate locations
before starting with the installation, to make sure everything fits.
2. Install the Seawater Plumbing Components. The seawater pump must
be mounted in the bilge below the waterline, and seawater is piped from a
bronze thru-hull fitting through a shut-off valve and strainer to the pump.
From there, water is piped upwards through the Zephyr unit’s condenser,
and then to an overboard discharge fitting above the waterline.
3. Mount the Zephyr Unit. The Zephyr air conditioning unit is mounted on
a flat, horizontal surface, using the metal clips provided. The Zephyr blower
assembly can be rotated for either a horizontal or vertical discharge.
4. Install Grills and Duct. The return air grill should be placed so there is
unobstructed air flow to the Zephyr unit’s evaporator coil. The discharge grill
should be placed as high as possible. A flexible duct is provided to carry air
from the Zephyr unit to the discharge grill. If the dual duct option is required,
a plenum is used to split the air discharge so that air is carried to two
different grills.
5. Connect Electrical Wiring. Cut a hole for the switch assembly. Route
the electrical wiring, along with the copper thermostat capillary tube, to the
Zephyr unit. Mount the thermostat bulb in the return air path. Make wiring
connections using the wiring schematic.
6. Hook Up the Condensate Drains. Attach plastic hose to either or both
of the condensate drain plugs in the pan beneath the unit. Route to an
overboard discharge or sump.
7. Attach Hose Connections. The seawater hoses are secured in place
using double/reversed hose clamps.
