A yacht's interior is one of the most demanding indoor environments there is: sealed for air conditioning, humid outside, close quarters inside, and far from a hardware store. Here is how cold plasma fits that environment, and how to plan it vessel by vessel.
Why the air aboard is different
Closed-loop air
Once a yacht is buttoned up for air conditioning, the same air circulates through the same spaces for hours or days. Moisture, odors and microbes that get into it tend to stay.
Humidity and hidden moisture
Warm cruising grounds and constant temperature swings bring condensation into lockers, headliners and the spaces behind panels. That is where musty odors start.
Odors that travel
Galley cooking, heads and holding tanks, fuel and exhaust, smoke and pets. In a sealed interior, odors move from space to space through shared air.
Shared air, close quarters
Owners, guests and crew can share recirculated air for days or weeks. On charter, a new group steps aboard at every turnaround.
Why cold plasma suits a vessel
- It treats the cabin it sits in. AURA has its own fan, so it works whether the A/C is cycling or not.
- No airflow restriction. It adds no filter media to your air handlers.
- Nothing to stock at sea. There are no replacement filters or cartridges. Upkeep is a wipe-down and a quick check every few weeks.
- Light on power. 20 W at most and under 2 W on standby, through a 100–240 V adapter that suits shore power and generators worldwide.
- Secure underway. At 5.5 × 11.5 × 2 in and 2.5 lb, it mounts to a flat surface or bulkhead at two points.
Planning a vessel
Plan one unit per enclosed space up to 376 sq ft. Larger salons and open-plan decks may call for two.
| Space | Typical concern | Placement tip |
|---|---|---|
| Master and guest staterooms | Mustiness, stale air overnight | On a bulkhead near the A/C return, never aimed at the berth |
| Main salon and sky lounge | Cooking and smoke odors, guest traffic | Near existing airflow; consider two units in large salons |
| Crew quarters and crew mess | Shared air in close quarters | One per enclosed space |
| Galley and pantry | Cooking odors, VOCs | Away from steam, spray and wet areas |
| Media room | Closed doors, little fresh air | Within Wi-Fi range if you want app scheduling |
