Faults and Fixes
The air conditioning is not cooling or heating — what should be checked?
On a seawater-cooled system the first place to look is the water circuit rather than the gas: seacock, strainer and pump. A circuit with reduced flow puts the compressor into protection, so the unit appears to run without cooling.
Why it works this way
Measuring the air coming out of the vent with a thermal camera separates a gas problem from a flow problem before anything is dismantled.
