9.1 Features of the Hurricane® Zephyr
Heating System
The Hurricane® Zephyr Heating System uses an 33,000 BTU (true
output) diesel burner controlled by a 12 VDC, multi-functional
electronic controller as the primary source of heating a heat
transfer fluid (anti-freeze and water). Also, one 1500-Watt, 120
VAC immersion element is used as secondary heat source to
provide an additional 5,000 BTU's of heat when AC power is
available. Through the use of an integral circulation pump, the
heated transfer fluid is distributed to all space heating areas. The
Hurricane® Zephyr provides domestic hot water using an integral
heat exchanger which also makes use of engine waste. An optional
engine preheat feature is provided using an additional, externally
mounted engine coolant circulation pump. (for a visual reference of
the features of the Hurricane® Zephyr, see Figure 9-1, Hurricane®
Zephyr Heating System overview).
Main features of the Hurricane® Zephyr:
• Built in coolant distribution pump for supplying coolant to multiple
heating fans in a single loop, located in up to four different zones.
• An internal heat exchanger for heating domestic water using heat
transfer fluid heated by the diesel-fueled burner and/or engine
waste heat. The heat exchanger can also provide engine pre-
heating with the use of an optional, externally mounted engine
coolant circulation pump.
• Continuous, on demand hot water. The system increases ground
water temperature by 60F at a flow of 1 GPM (using only the diesel
