Diesel heating installation kit for boats and yachts
For many years, Autoterm heaters, which have become known under the names Planar 4D and Planar 44D, have proven themselves in travel vehicles on land and at sea. The product has since been given a new name, but the robust, reliable technology remains.
This is also done by the other advantages of the air heater, now called Autoterm Air. Without loss of guarantee, they can also be installed in campers or boats by laypeople. Of course, the installation instructions and installation guidelines must be observed, which guarantee professional installation and thus safe, perfectly functioning operation of the heating.
All Autoterm heaters are recognizably tested for safety through the award of the E-mark (e2). They can therefore be installed without registration.
What makes this heater "Marine"
There are no special heaters for the marine sector, the heater itself is 100% identical to the models installed in land vehicles. Special "marine kits" are offered on the market again and again, but all of them merely represent a combination of some components, but do not contain a special heater.
What advantage does our marine kit offer then?
Since every boat or ship is different, we have long refused to offer a “marine kit”. There is just more than one type of hull wall penetration, more than one type of heating installation, etc. That means a fixed kit makes no sense at all, unless we simply conceal the variety of possibilities and simply deliver SOMETHING. Unfortunately, that doesn't suit us, so we thought about something:
The individually combinable kit for the boat heater installation
We have designed our shop so that the relevant components can be freely configured.
Due to the possibility of an individual combination, we have the right solution for every installation situation.
Autoterm heaters for water and land vehicles
Power
This marine kit contains the Autoterm 4D heater, a diesel air heater with a maximum heating output of 4 kW and 12V supply power.
The version with Autoterm 2D is also available, which offers 2 kW heating output. Basically, the heater should be selected to match the volume of the room to be heated and not with too much heating power, as constant running at only the lowest level leads to soot in the combustion chamber. Occasional burning off at the highest power level is advisable in any case and ensures a long service life for the heater.
Both models are available for 12 V and 24 V on-board voltage. Please select accordingly when ordering.
e-mark
Autoterm heaters can be installed by the boat owner without loss of guarantee (manufacturer's instructions for installation must of course be observed).
They are also provided with an e-mark (e2). This means that your installation does not require any registration or acceptance.
Independent height adjustment
Autoterm diesel air parking heaters have an altitude kit that automatically adjusts the fuel supply to changing air pressure conditions. So a boat tour on Lake Titiccaca at 3800 m above sea level is no problem.
Control panels
Different control panels can be used to operate the heating.
Included in this set:
PU-5: A simple control element with a rotary control for setting a power level. A separately available temperature sensor can be connected for regulation via temperature mode.
Alternativ:
PU-27: An electronic control panel with OLED display and integrated temperature sensor (cable length 1.8 m) that also has a timer function. Menu navigation in English and Russian, operating instructions also in German.
Comfort Control Panel: The new, improved control panel for the Autoterm / Planar auxiliary heater. With three freely adjustable timers for any day of the week, extended heating modes (including thermostat mode), voltage monitoring and much more. Multifunctional rotating wheel with a pleasantly grippy rubber coating and OLED display. Smaller installation dimensions, more comfortable use, more stylish design.
Remote control
The heating wiring harness has an emergency switching input, which is often used to use its own remote control. The heater can then be regulated or switched on and off via permanent contact or a pulse signal.
