I couldn’t agree more on your choice NOT to use a forced air heater. Lived on my Dufour 405 in Aalborg and Copenhagen from 2010 to 2015 when I left for the Caribbean. I had an Ebersbecher and on the really cold days - like in December 2010 where it was -18C outside and the warmest I got inside was +11C with the Ebersbecher running on high, my 2 burner stove and oven on high, 22 candles AND my toaster on with the timer hot glued so it wouldn’t turn off. I am NOT exaggerating it was cold. I walked on the ice around my boat at midnight on New Years Eve. Good choice, mate.

FYI: I work for a trucking company in USA, and they have been using the Webasto Heater for several years, and I asked them how they avoided the expensive rebuild you mentioned...They said to avoid it, the heater has got to be ran at a least once every 3 weeks, even in the hot summers for at least 30 minutes...and we do run them...we get reminders every 2 weeks to run our (Anti-Idle) Heater for 30 minutes with the windows down if the weather is hot... I have been driving my truck for 6 years, and have had the same Anti-Idle heater all six years, it has never failed me...even in the frozen tundra of Northern Canada and Alaska...In America truckers can be in 32 C in Florida one day, and -10 C in Canada 2 days later... So I would recommend that if you use it as a backup heater to run it bi weekly to avoid expensive maintenance

I had my doubts about using mild steel, but with anti-freeze that contains rust inhibitors and a proven design, I think you have a winner ! For non EU viewers, a "bar" is about 14 psi, so 1.5 bar is only about 22 psi. A very low pressure boiler. 60C = 140F, well below boiling. Most automotive cooling systems run at 1.0-1.5 bar and about 115-120C. I think it would be difficult to find such a small 12VDC burner and circulation pump in the US.

Wow super nice boiler. I wanted to tell you having a lot of experience with similar heating systems, you might consider when attaching the pex tubing for passing the circulation that you start with 40 inches or so of copper or other metal piping coming out of the boiler, and 40 inches coming in. Pex tubing can become strange around 180F but can withstand constant use at around 160F for extended periods. The thing is that right at the boiler the temperature can exceed 180F, and the metal can help mitigate that extra heat. Also make sure that the blow off pressure regulator is on the end of the metal pipe coming back so that the heat doesn't kill the seals in the pressure regulator. Do not put it on the hot outlet. It wouldn't hurt to have one of those temperaure controllers monitoring the temperature of the pex either and to then shut off the boiler in the case the pex got too hot. This also is an extra measure of safety in case of controller malfunction. Also since you have a lot of metal in the installation you may need to find some method of removing the rust from the system. It can wear down pumps and such and will turn the water a bright red over time.

TLDR: It's not racist to mention a country of origin, that's a nationality, not a race. In this case Chinese refers to a national work practice. Chinese people may be Asian, not all Asians are Chinese. Asian is a race.

For the pex make sure it has an oxygen barrier and if you want the boiler to last a really long time put chemical treatment in the closed loop system. Nice video

you might want to consider adding a low water cut off switch. That way you'll never ever have a dry burn which will damage the boiler. Cheap protection, esp. for a DIY boiler, and one that will be used year around for hot water. In homes you'd have a automatic water infill valve, but I assume on a boat non-salt water will be rare. If you can, install a multi speed pump; that way for the shoulder seasons when you would like some heat but not max heat you can use a lower pump speed and keep a more consistent temperature on board and not be cycling on and off.

4 жыл бұрын
At it's most basic, it's a big water tank with a bunch of burner exhaust tubes (and the tube the burner is burning in, too) running through it. This one from what I can see, the burner in bottom front burns in big tube, blowing through into cavity at back, then up and back across to the front through the many smaller tubes running through the water in the upper part(more heat transfer surface area with many smaller tubes than one big one), and then exhausts out the upper front(at the side). The heat transfers from the heated tubes to the water, with typically hot water out at the top of the tank, through radiator loop, and cooled down water returns back into the bottom of the tank. (Soldered in copper tubing would work better for the heat transfer efficiency, but that's a whole different price level. lol) Fairly efficient for a low pressure closed radiator loop system where the water coming back in normally has some heat left in it, when everything's sized right so it's not cycling too rapidly or running the burner constantly. Also, the boiler design and burner size need to match up, too little back-pressure and the heat goes out the stack before it can soak in, too much and the burner won't burn right and could just fill the whole shebang up with soot. This boiler has 3 good boxy right angles that should slow the exhaust down pretty hard, meaning it doesn't need too much of a burner to max it out. Pretty much the opposite, more complicated design of a tankless water heater, which is a tank of flames with a bunch of water pipe in it. Can be more efficient by far, because it can do things at a slower pace since it's not having to deal with pressurized high flow. And thus ends this 2:00am YT ramble. Hope I made something resembling some kind of sense. I go fall over in the general direction of my bed now. G'nite. XD

I have one of those cheap diesel heaters. But you are right, I am more of a weekend warrior (if that). It can't be used for hot water, but cost wise we are talking $150 US. If I replaced it every 2 years, who cares? :-)

My thoughts exactly. I can see the sense in what Madds is doing for Athena but for mere mortals a Chinese Erbesbacher copy is a good option as a "throw away" item. Given that a new "genuine" item is around £1500 even replacing copy every two years it would be twenty years before you've caught up!

Nice one Mads, really cool boiler which makes me rethink my forced air heater option I have on my boat. Also, any chance we can also see more of the work on the cement boat ? Maybe a short video in the middle of every week 😉 ?

We need Martin (the designer) to do a video explaining the design. It would be nice if he released the drawings !

@@NPCSN pressurized hot water inside a small boat, with crappy welds, self built, takes up huge space, all for radiated heat and hot showers while at a marina? Almost any alternative seems better to me

@@FeelItRising first your last point, being at marina... is this your first video you watched this guy and without headphones? full time cursing does not seems to me as sitting in marina. second, design and manufacturing already proven by designer using same model in his boat for years. and third, i know for so many examples where professionally/commercially produced boilers devastated whole neighborhoods so give us a break with your i know it all... oh btw, the working pressure is around normal air pressure and prv is 1.5bar (commercial grade, manufactured by "professionals" and tested and approved by people with paper to confirm their knowledge).

Mads, please go with Noctua fans for longer run time, efficiency, and low volume. They're some of the best out there with PC rads. Possibly a thick radiator and one that can take 140mm fans for more air movement control efficiency and low noise level. And please be careful with mixing metals such as aluminium with copper!

Thinking about steel and salt water, including salt water loaded air, I would be concerned about rusting the tank. Hopefully all welds hold and are problem free. But it would be cheap and easy at this point to put in a water leak detector. Just ensure that it is the low point that any and all water will eventually find if the boiler springs a leak. And oh yeah, you do want an off switch for the time when it goes off in a storm or some other time when you cant get to it.

Mad look at something called waterless coolant made by a company called Evans for your circulation liquid its boiling point isn't till 190°c it also won't cause rust on the inside of the heater matrix or boiler
