• Radial blower on the heat exchanger (arranged on inlet side) up to 131°F (55 °C) • For this reason, a Thermo 90 ST with a specialized control unit must be used. The heater has a pre-programmed nominal temperature of 126°F (52 °C).
The heater must be installed in as low a position as possible to allow the heater and circulating pump to be bled auto- matically. This is particularly important as the circulating pump is not self-priming. Fig. 2 Correct installation positions for the Thermo 90 ST Mounting the Heater The heater must be secured with at least three M8 screws.
Installation Hose Connections to Chiller Unit The Thermo 90 ST is intragrated into the Chiller unit water circuit via a electrically actuated 3-way valve assembly. Fig. 3 BlueCool Premium System with a Thermo 90 ST Components: 1. Stop valve at ship’s side inlet 2.

Fig. 9 in order to ensure effective auto-bleeding. Fuel filter Only a Webasto filter P/N: 50487171A is permitted when a fuel filter is needed. Install vertically if possible. (See Fig.10). NOTE: Ensure to follow the correct fuel filter direction flow marked on the side of the filter.
Secure the intake tube to the heater with the provided hose clamps. Ensure the fuel pump connector harness is in place in the slot provided in the air intake port before tightening clamp. Secure the tube to the adjacent structures with P-clips or nylon wire ties. www.webasto.us Webasto Product N.A., Inc. www.techwebasto.com...
If additional protection is required, it is recommended to over-sleeve with an additional layer of insulation (available from your local Webasto marine dealer). DO NOT connect the heater exhaust into the engine or generator exhaust. Doing so will result in CAUTION unacceptable back-pressure levels and may damage the heater or cause operational failure.

12 V or 24 V. The temperature limiter, temperature sensor and flame sensor are identical on 12 V and 24 V heaters. Fuel for Thermo 90 ST The diesel fuel specified by the manufacturer must be used. There are no known negative influences due to fuel additives.
Once the cause of the fault has been eliminated, the fault lock-out is cancelled by switching the heater off and on again. If the under voltage guard switches off the system for longer than 20 seconds, the fuel supply is interrupted. Thermo 90 ST 12 V 10.5V –...
