Heating and On-demand Hot Water for a Boat

[Music]  hi Jeff Cote with Pacific yacht systems  we're gonna be talking about heating  systems for a boat and we're not talking  about reverse cycle AC if you've got a  generator on your boat and you actually  don't need the cooling but you want the  heat you can run in your reverse cycle  AC this is a different sort of heating  system and it doesn't need a lot of  power you don't need a generator you're  actually going to be it's gonna be  powered via diesel so the creation of  the heat is via diesel and the  circulation of that heat the water pumps  and coolant or forced air is electric so  there's really two parts but basically  you can run a diesel heating system with  just your batteries without a generator  I've got one of these devices on my boat  and I've written it a pretty long  article in our monthly Tech Talk column  in Pacific yachting and you can find  those articles on our website by the way  you don't have to have a subscription to  the magazine and what I think is so  amazing about diesel heating system is  that at the end of the day you can be  away from shore power and an anchorage  maybe the weather's not so great or  you're traveling north in the summer and  you want to have heat either in the  morning in the evening at night whatever  it is and you do not want to have a lot  of noise or connect it to shore power so  that's really sort of the purpose the  other thing which is amazing about this  heater and the one that I have on my  boat is it's got a feature that's called  on-demand hot water so you can literally  have this seater on standby and as soon  as you open the hot water faucet either  in the galley or in the head you can  literally have even without actually  having a hot water tank you can actually  have hot water being generated on-demand  directly from this unit so that's pretty  nice and then also think about the  benefits of having a shower  no more 5-gallon small tank where you  can have one shower maybe two showers  now your limitation for showers are  simply the amount of quantity you have  on board as opposed to how much hot  water you have in your hot water tank  the heat is circulated with this via  coolant it's sort of like how homes used  to be heated a hundred years ago where  there is a boiler  down in the basement they circulate hot  water through the home and then the  radiators would give that heat  everywhere so what they do is they  simply have coolant that is circulated  through the boat and then you have what  are called heat exchangers and that heat  exchanger has a fan and then you can  actually have every zone on your boat  like a ford cabin the galley the salon  the aft cabin to be individually  thermostat controlled so that every  single area within the boat has its own  regulated temperature and it's honestly  it's probably one of the most popular  things in terms of overall system that  we do for boaters especially here in the  Pacific Northwest where it's really  convenient to have heat and it allows  you to effectively extend your cruising  season and stay nice and warm on board  if you've got any further questions or  you're looking for more detail contact  us or also look on our website where  we've written quite a few articles  thanks for joining us
