RVs and BUSES | MARINE | OFF GRID – 12V SOLAR | 240V | DIESEL | ENGINE
The DH40 e-solar is combines the Eberspacher D5E powered 5kW hydronic power pack with a 22L Surecal copper hot water tank to form an electric (solar) hot water system with diesel boost.
The power pack and hot water calorifier are pre- assembled for easy installation either beside each other or separated – given maximum versatility.
By adding in a hydronic fan head you can turn your DH40 e-solar diesel hydronic hot water system into a quite and effective air heater. See here for information on choosing hydronic fan heaters or here for fan heater kits
The DH40 e-solar has the following features
- All copper UK made tank suitable for caravans and boats
- Electric heating with a variety of heating element options
- Diesel 5kW heating
- Optional engine heating on boats
- Polyurethane insulated tank retains heat for efficient operation
- Compact design, pre assembled in 2 components which are easily linked with supplied coolant pipes.
- Includes silicon floor plate for exhaust
- Fast heat up time, around 20min from cold on Diesel, full regeneration back to hot in around 8min after a shower.
- Supports integrated air heating (optional)
SureCal Hot Water Calorifier
The SureCal tanks imported from the UK by Dieselheat are a high quality copper tank with 2 hydronic heating coils (connected in series for faster heating in RVs). In addition, the copper construction allows very efficient heat transfer from the diesel furnace to the water in the tank, ensuring rapid heating. The SureCal tank also has an optional expansion tank for marine use to prevent the pressure relief valve from dripping into the bilge.
Diesel
On days when your batteries do not fully charge or when you need extra hot water, the system can be heated using the diesel furnace. The diesel booster can also be used to run optional hydronic air heating as well.
Electric Hot Water
The system can utilise excess capacity in your existing solar system to heat your hot water once your batteries are fully charged. This is done using a solar diverter (not supplied as part of this kit)* to divert power from your solar panels to the electric element when your batteries are charged. If your batteries start to drop, the diverter cuts out the heating element ensuring your batteries remain fully charged.
Select the electric heating element which best suits your needs (kit price does not include the element which is purchased separately):
- 240v 1000W
- 12v 200W, 240V 700W (combined)
- 12v 300W
- 24v 600W
*The solar diverter is generally part of your solar charging system and is not part of this kit, please refer to your solar installer for details on how to either program your system or set up a diverter if your system does not support this function. For more information on this system and setting up the solar diverter please see our Technical Paper on Diesel Solar Electric Hot Water
Optional Air Heating
By adding in a hydronic fan head you can turn your diesel hydronic hot water system into a quiet and effective air heater. See here for information on choosing hydronic fan heaters or fan heating kits here.
