This vessel has three separate HVAC systems aboard.  Primary ships system is 220v consisting of 7 units totaling 152,000 BTUs.  These units are seawater cooled by two large raw water pumps plumbed in tandem.  

The three large staterooms all have independent 110v air conditioning systems capable of operating without shore power or generator courtesy of this vessel's inverter system.

These units total an additional 24,000 BTUs. In the mid stateroom there is a single 24v air conditioning producing 10,000 BTUs.  These two systems are not seawater cooled.
