Technical description of the heating system
The Alde Compact 3030/3030 Plus boiler is designed to provide you with both heating and hot water.
The heating system contains both a gas burner and electrical cartridges and you can use the system
with either LPG, electricity or both.
The heating system consists of the boiler and an expansion vessel, which is installed at the highest
point of the vehicle. Use your vehicle's instruction manual to see 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 a 12 V electric circulation pump (in a single-zone system) or two
12 V electric circulation pumps (in a dual-zone systems) used to circulate the heated fluid. The heat
convectors, located near the floor of the vehicle, allow the air to be heated by the hot fluid in the sys-
tem and then the air rises and circulates to heat the space in your vehicle. The heating system is also
fitted with a built-in hot water heater that holds around 10 litres of fresh water.
The heating system boiler can produce around 14 litres of water at a temperature of 40 °C every half
hour. If immersion heater elements are used to run the heating system instead of gas, the capacity is a
little smaller. You can use the heating system to heat the vehicle without filling the hot water heater.
