12. Technical description of the heating system
The boiler Alde Compact 3020 PS is designed to provide you with both heat and hot water. The heat-
ing system includes both a gas burner and electric heating cartridges and you can use the system with
either gas, electricity or both.
The heating system consists of the boiler and an expansion vessel, which is installed at the highest
point of the vehicle. Check with the help of your vehicle's instruction manual where the expansion
vessel is installed. The heating system works by circulating hot glycol mixture through pipes and heat
convectors, similar to the heating systems used in many homes.
The heating system is equipped with two electrical circulation pumps which is used to circulate the
heated liquid. The heating convectors, which are located close to the floor of the vehicle, allows the air
to be heated by the warm liquid and then the air rises and circulates to heat the space in your vehicle.
The heating system is also equipped with a built-in hot water tank that holds approx. 8,5 litres of fresh
water.
The boiler in the heating system can produce about 12 litres of water at a temperature of 40 °C every
half hour. If electrical heating cartridges are used instead of gas to power the heating system, the
capacity is slightly smaller. You can use the heating system to heat the vehicle without filling the hot
water tank.
NOTICE
The Alde Compact 3020 PS is constructed to be used with a thermostat control. This manual con-
tains instructions for controlling the system using the Alde Control Panel 3020 118.
