Azimut Grande 32M: chilled-water AC failure, root cause wantedAzimut Grande 32M: AC root cause wanted

Parts replaced, cause still unknown

What this page tells you: every repair since 2024 and whether anyone found why the part failed.

Facts as recorded by the owner. Root cause not determined. No cause is asserted on this page.

Dates match the timeline. Over two and a half years, many AC parts have been replaced or bypassed so the plant could run again. Each step restored some cooling for a while. None came with a written explanation of why the part failed.

What we ask for each time a part is replaced

  1. What failed first, in plain language.
  2. What contributed: installation, operating conditions, water quality, supply, age.
  3. What would stop it happening again.
  4. Who is giving the finding, with a date.

A similar pattern on a separate system (the start batteries) is noted under ownership experience. No link between that event and the AC is suggested.
