I'm doing a
refit on my sailboat. The
boat has radiator
heating system that have never worked. Radiators were driven by shore-powered old rv heat cartrige that I yanked. Circulation
pump works and system still had some
coolant in it, must've been something with the old 80s heat cartridge.
At first I was thinking about installing an air
heater, but as the
hardware was there and radiators would be nicer, why not keep with it? and whilst at it, warm
water would be nice.
So, would the following configuration
work? A
Diesel coolant heater that is connected to a
calorifier. From
calorifier the pan's heat exhanger out line is connected to the
boat radiator. And the boat radiator line is connected to the coolant heater. A valve between the calorifier and radiator line to make sure I don't have to heat the
cabin when
heating water if I don't want to.
Am I thinking this wrong or might this
work? I would love to use
engine cooling circuit for heater but I only have an
electric motor so I need the external heater.
