Thetford Marine / Tecma

Silence Plus 2G 48V

The marine industry is undergoing a transformation, driven by increasing demands for efficiency, sustainability, and seamless system integration. 

Embracing this evolution, Tecma, a trusted name in marine sanitation and part of Thetford Marine, proudly introduces a world-first innovation: the first marine toilet system entirely engineered to operate at 48 volts.

This revolutionary product redefines the standard for onboard toilet systems, moving beyond the traditional 12V and 24V architectures. It offers not only enhanced performance and energy efficiency, but also easier installation and optimal compatibility with today’s most advanced marine power systems.

Key Innovations

•	True 48V Architecture
Every component is purpose-built for 48V operation—eliminating the need for converters and maximizing system efficiency.
•	Optimized Energy Storage
Seamless integration with 48V lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO₄) batteries ensures higher energy density and longer autonomy.
•	Enhanced Charging Capabilities
Advanced systems such as Integrel E-Power and solar charging solutions work more efficiently at 48V, enabling faster, more complete recharges.
•	Space & Weight Savings
Thinner cabling and compact electrical components reduce installation space and overall weight—vital for fuel savings or extending electric cruising range.

Environmental & Operational Benefits

•	Lower Energy Losses
Higher voltage means lower current, reduced heat, and increased system efficiency.
•	Reduced Material Use
Smaller cables require less copper and plastic, supporting more sustainable sourcing.
•	Cleaner, Quieter Operation
Fully compatible with electric and hybrid propulsion systems, the 48V solution contributes to quieter, lower-emission navigation.

With this 48V toilet system, Tecma takes a decisive step toward modern, energy-conscious marine systems—meeting the needs of next-generation boats while promoting smarter energy use and environmental responsibility.
