WATER
HEATER
CONNECTIONS
WESTERBEKE
provides easy access for connecting
to
an
on-board hot water
system.
These connections
allow
for
the
engines hot water (coolant)
to
flow
to
the
ships
hot water
tank, heating
the
fresh
water
and
then
cycling back
to
the
engine.
The water heater should
be
mounted
in
a convenient location
either
in
a high or
low
position
in
relation
to
the
engine,
so
that
the
connecting
hoses
from
the
heater
to
the
engine can
run
in
a reasonably direct line without
any
loops
which
might
trap
air.
Hoses
should rise continuously
from
their
low
point at
the
heater
to
the
engine
so
that air will rise naturally
from
the
heater
to
the
engine.
If
trapped air
is
able
to
rise
to
the
heater,
then
an
air bleed petcock must be installed at
the
higher
fitting
on
the
heater for bleeding air
while
filling
the
system.
NOTE:
An air bleed petcock is located on
the
engine's heat
exchanger
and on the thermostat housing.
Open
these
petcocks when filling
the
engine's coolant system
to
allow air
to
escape.
Close both tightly after all
the
air
is
removed.
NOTE:
If
any portion
of
the
heating circuit rises above
the
engine's closed cooling system pressure
cap,
then a
pressurized (aluminum) remote expansion tank (Kit #024177)
must be installed
in
the circuit to become
the
highest point.
Tee
the
remote
expansion tank into
the
heater
circuit,
choos-
ing
the
higher
of
the
two connections for
the
return.
Tee
at
the
heater,
and plumb a single line
up
to
the
tanks location
and
the
other back to the engine's
return.
Install
the
remote
expansion tank
in
a convenient location so
the
fresh water
coolant level can easily
be
checked.
The
remote
expansion
tank will now serve as a check and system fill point. The
plastic coolant recovery tank is not used when the remote
expansion tank
kit is
i~taUed,
since this tank serves the
same function.
