HOT WATER FROM THE HEAT OF YOUR BOAT ENGINE |

Albion
have been in the hot water business for many years
and have developed a new range of marine calorifiers
using the best available technology.
Albion's marine calorifiers are simple to install
and
provide complete domestic hot water for all sizes
of craft.
The units are fitted with an integral coil (or coils)
which, when connected to the engine jacket water,
transfers heat into the calorifier. This utilises
heat that is otherwise wasted, resulting in a very
economical hot water service. |
|
| |
| The
amount of hot water generated will be linked to engine running
times and usage, but as a rule of thumb the calorifier will
remain hot whilst the engine is running.
All units are pre-insulated to ensure that the water stays
hot for periods when the engine is not running to maintain
an ample supply.
The popular range is listed below, in addition Albion can
supply other sizes, as well as a range of accessories including
immersion heaters, relief valves and expansion vessels. |

& AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRIES |

| Automotive
Handwash Products |
| Using the heat from
your engine this efficient water heater can provide enough
water for handwash on site. Applications include use for
motorhomes, for workmen on site, e.g. Telecoms Industry,
for agriculture workers and for the building and construction
industries.
Seven litres of water can be stored and heated. The unit
connects to the cooling system of any motor vehicle engine
and has a thernostat control to prevent boiling. |

Albion have added
a pre-plumbed kit to their range of cased marine water heaters.
The kit consists of blending valve, pressure relief valve
and interconnecting pipework. This facilitates the installation
of the water heater making it more installer friendly. This
kit can be supplied fitted to the 50, 30 and 20 litre capacity
Albion products.
The kit includes a connection for an expansion vessel which
is available as an optional extra. |

| INSTALLING
YOUR MARINE CALORIFIER |
|
Calorifier's are available
as shown in the sizing guide below and it is important that the appropriate
capacity is linked to the expected usage.
Albion have recently launched a marine calorifier with a set of pre-plumbed
controls to make installation easier, inaddition please note from the schematic
diagram other components necessary to ensure correct operation of the calorifier.
Use hoses which are appropriate for pressure and heat and ensure that they
do not impart a rubber taste or odour.
Plumbing on board can be done with an approved pipework system, eother synthetic
or metallic. If the calorifier is sited more than two metres from the engine
room a non-return valve is not necessary.
Fixing straps are supplied with cased calorifiers. Cased calorifiers can
be mounted vertically with control tap top or bottom or horizontally.
Attention must be paid to engine manufacturer's recommendations and warranties
when installing marine calorifiers. |

YOUR MARINE CALORIFIER |

Heat-up time is usually
20 minutes, although if a larger marine calorifier is connected to a small
engine this will take longer.
You can calculate the usage by using the following average consumption figures
for hot water stored at 60 degrees C.
SHOWER - 6 litres/minute (dependent on shower head).
BASIN - allow 2 to 4 litres per basin.
SINK (washing up) - allow 5 to 6 litres.
The above guide can be used to calculate an average daily usage.
It is important that you ensure a store size reasonable enough to cater
for expected demand whilst at berth. You can expect the water to stay at
a useful temperature for 24 hours provided the unit has factory fitted insulation.
Twin coil units are available to take advantage of other heat sources.
Immersion heaters can be fitted to provide a useful heat input during extended
periods at berth. |
