Water heater
The following recommendations do not replace the instructions provided by the
manufacturer in the Manual.
•
The Water Heater is installed under the floor board of the right berth astern to the
fresh water tank. (see page 57). To examine it, unscrew the 6 floor board fixing
screws.
•
The Water Heater is made of stainless steel, heat-insulated and fitted with a safety valve and
drain tap
Instructions
Respect the following procedure when starting the water heater:
•
Check if the valves located on top of the engine, and which we refer to hereafter as “engine-
boiler system valves” are in open position. These valves link (via by-pass) the engine’s
cooling system to the fresh water heating coil; unless there is some problem with the system,
they must always be open.
•
Turn on the FRESH WATER PUMP switch of the 12 Vdc control panel, to empower the
self closing watertight to make in pressure the hot and cold freshwater system.
•
To heat the fresh water you may use:
- the engine-cooling water which runs trough the heater via by-pass, or by an electrical
resistance with supply from the 220 Volt.
- or by an electrical resistance with supply from the 220 Volt.
•
In the first case, the heater works automatically when the engine is running (provided that the
engine circuit valves are open) normally the water will reach a temperature of 50-60°C after
approximately 15 minutes, with the engine running at 1500.
•
In the second one, it is heated up electrically using the BOILER switch located in the
220Vdc panel (see page 48).
