The Aqua-Hot Motor Coach Heating System is an on-board Hydronic Heating
System (heating with hot water) that provides a continuous, on-demand
supply of domestic hot water, as well as interior zone heating where and when
it is needed.  Both heating features are accomplished by a unique Diesel-Fired
Burner and an AC powered Electric Heating Element (120 VAC).  These two
heating sources maintain the temperature of the Aqua-Hot's solution of water
and antifreeze.  In addition, the Aqua-Hot has been designed to preheat the
vehicle's engine prior to starting.  This feature provides easy engine start-up
whenever cool weather conditions are present.  Be sure to review Figure 1
for complete component overview.
