Linssen CCH Compartment Controlled Heating Feature
Most boats include a heating system; at many times of the year this is a necessity. There are many types, none of them completely satisfactory, and Linssen have talked to customers, analysed their experiences, and set some critical performance and specification requirements.
The result is the digitally controlled Linssen CCH heating system, available on 12m boats and above. Each space (compartment) in the boat has its own heat source, with two thermostats – for public spaces and for private cabins and facilities – on timers.
The heat source (diesel and battery powered) is efficient and very quiet. The system is reliable and easy to service, with low maintenance costs, and demoisturises to reduce condensation. The Linssen CCH heating system guarantees a quiet, efficient, powerful, low-energy and user-friendly experience.
Linssen ICCESS- Integrated CAN-bus Controlled Electric Supply System
Like modern automobiles and trucks, ship and boat-building is increasingly using CAN-bus (Controller Area Network) systems. This allows electronic devices to communicate with each other without the need for a separate cable for each communication flow. It’s a great idea and provides users with exceptionally fast, accurate and comprehensive information, to set operational parameters and control performance.
With long experience, Linssen have modified CAN-bus exploit its advantages (for example, a vast reduction in complicated, difficult to repair cabling) whilst reducing unnecessary over-sophistication such that any technician, even without CAN-bus experience, can fault-find, repair and maintain.
