Any ideas who manufacture or supply water chillers for air-conditioning in submarines

Thanks

RE: Supplier for HVAC Chillers for Submarine

I thought they just used screen doors.


Are you talking small subs or large military?  If small, look to sailing rags.  There are about 10 companies competing in that venue. The magazines all have many ads on that product. You would be looking for the varieties that use "keel cooling".

If it's a real submarine, the typical thin-walled round or even rectangular tube keel cooler would be crushed at modest depth.  Bringing the high pressure seawater inside the pressure hull would allow use of somewhat thinner pipe. Either way, you need sturdy stop valves at the hull.

I can conjecture a couple other ways to transfer heat through a pressure hull, but I don't know how it's actually typically done... and I'm embarrassed to admit that I probably should know.

Mike; On alloy boats they often just weld a box on the inside surface of the hull and run water thru it. Hence it all remains inside with no crush issues.

Hi friends

This is a real submarine. This chiller will be serving AHU and fan coil units.

Thanks
