9. Optional Hot Water Coil Installation
A hot water coil can be added to also enjoy water heating from your Sig
Marine diesel stove. You can either order your heater with one already
installed in the stove or you can install the coil later yourself. Hot water coils
are made of 5/8” OD stainless steel tubing and are available in a 1 turn coil
for all model stoves to heat approx. 5-10 gallons of water. Hot water coils
are also available in 2 turn coils all models to heat approx. 15-20 gallons of
water. To plumb the hot water to the stove, ½” copper tubing should be used
with the compression fittings provided.
The coil in a stove can be used to heat the water in your existing hot water
supply tank. If the tank is mounted above the lower coil, the water will
circulate on its own from the tank into the hot coils and rise back into the
tank by convection. If not, the water will need to be circulated by a low
volume water pump. The temperature of the water will change depending on
the speed of which it’s circulating and the operating settings on the stove.
It takes approx. 3000 btu’s to raise 10 gallons of water to 30 degrees in 1
hour. Most of the btu’s that the stove produces is dissipated as radiant heat
and is expelled through the chimney. Therefore, only a general guideline as
to water heater capability can be set.
WARNING: A pressure relief valve must be present or dangerous pressure
buildup will occur.
It is best to order the stove with the coil already installed.
