GraemeY Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 We have done our first install of the Genisis diesel hot water system , the basis of the setup is a diesel fired furnace , a buffer tank contain Glycol (radiator coolant) , a plate heat exchanger (for exchanging heat from the Glycol to the water) and a fan head for supplying hot air to warm the van,the fan heads come in either 2.7kw or 5kw for larger motor homes and caravans , the unit on high has a fuel consumption of around .6L per hour , we have found that using a 2.7kw head it warms a 20ft van very well , the biggest advantage is that it uses the one source for both hot water and heating , the system can be fitted with a Webasto german 4kw furnace or a Belief Chinese furnace depending on budget . Output for the hot water side will give you around 12l at 70-80C with a flow rate around 10l per minute , we also fit tempering valves to prevent scalding . I will attach some pictures of the system so you get an idea of how they work , if anybody would like further info just drop me a linebuffer tank.tiffheat exchnger.tiff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
