Eberspacher Heater
Have just bought an Eberspacher diesel fired heater that I hope to install in the near future. I thought of fitting it in either the outboard recess of the port cockpit locker or perhaps in the steering rod locker of the aft cabin. Just wondered if anyone has one of these heaters on board their boat and would appreciate any hints /tips about the task in general.
Thank you

Re: Eberspacher Heater
Hi Eric, thanks for the suggestion. I've heard some say that these heaters can be a little noisy. Do you find that it disturbs you as,in effect,it's sited in the main cabin?

Re: Eberspacher Heater
hello peter,
the reason for more than 50 per cent of the noise from any ebo is from the air intake and exhaust you must buy a silencer for both they are not a lot of money,i am well into ebo,s i have a 5kw in a caravan they need a lot of thought about the feed of air to the fan as this flow controls the temp. the p.c.b.in the ebo reads the temp flow over it,so in effect try to feed it the air that you are in,if i can be of any help please call,01229 871659,also while i'm at it.......... about the fuel you use, try not to run it on red diesel if you can get it use central heating fuel it is a lot cleaner than diesel and will not carbon up your screen and firing plug good luck regards eric............
