Water Heater
The following recommendations should not replace the
instructions provided by the manufacturer on the
Owner’s Manual.
◊
The Water heater of 18 lt. capacity is mounted under the sit of the
chart table.
• The heater is built in stainless steel, very well insulated and
equipped with a safety high pressure valve.
Instructions
To activate the water heater proceed as follows:
• Make sure that the gate valves installed on the top side of the main
engine at the forward end are open. This is the circuit that will use
the cooling water of the main engine to heat up the boiler’s
sanitary water. The valves can always be left on the open position
and are provided as a safety feature in case of a leak of the system.
• Make sure that the valve (
A
1) of the outgoing water located on the
A
manifold of the cold water as well as the valve (b1) of the
incoming water on the
B
manifold of the hot water are open (§ page
27
.6 &
27
.7).
• Activate the
FRESH WATER PUMP
switch on the 12 Vdc electri-
cal panel (§
7
.6) and check that the pressure builds up in the hot
water circuit.
• To heat up the water you can use the cooling water from the main
engine which transmits the heat to the fresh water through a coil
inside the heater or through the electrical heating element inside
the boiler. This is powered with 220 Volts AC.
• In the first case the heater will provide hot water automatically
each time the engine is functioning. You can expect water between
50
°
and 60
°
Centigrade after running the main engine at 1500 revs
for fifteen minutes.
• To activate the electrical heating element inside the boiler hook up
the shore power and then switch the
BOILER
breaker on the 220
Volt panel. (§
7
.9).
