This unit allows long hot water showers (something possible with the huge fresh water capacity these boats have). This system is a refinement of what has served  us well over many years.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>There are three sources of heat:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Two heat exchanger coils, plumbed in parallel, heated by the Kabola diesel boiler.<\/li>\n<li>A single large heat exchanger using waste heat off the engine which is plumbed in series with the Kabola circuit (this also provides heat for the interior).<\/li>\n<li>Dual AC heating elements, each with their own breaker, for use in loading the genset and when tied to shore power. Each of these heating elements are 2000 watt capacity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The heater cylinder is heavily insulated as are the domestic hot water supply pipes. And the capacity is a generous 14 gallons\/55 liters. Combine heat source features with 1700 gallons\/6500 liters of fresh water, the ability to catch water off the deck, and a substantial watermaker and you can see how long hot showers can be a daily occurrence (as they are on <em>Wind Horse<\/em> ).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You are looking at the business end of the FPB64 hot water heater.
