Heater Features

The
Hurricane® Zephyr
hydronic heater with many advantages over older technology
of forced-air systems. The Zephyr™ provides space heating
using a "heat-transfer fluid" pumped to remote mounted, fan
equipped, radiator-style heat-exchangers. The same "hot"
fluid is circulated through a highly efficient, internally
mounted, flat-plate heat-exchanger to provide a continuous
supply of domestic hot water. The heater runs on 12VDC
power, using a
temperature of the heat transfer fluid. The Hurricane®
Zephyr™ HW heater can also use waste heat from the
engine, using the internal heat exchanger. The addition of an
optional secondary water pump will also allow pre-heating of
the engine.
Other features of the heating system include:
· 1500 Watt, 120 VAC (North America) electric element for
a supplemental and backup heating source when the vehicle
is connected to a power source
· High-temperature stainless steel burner and water jacket
to prevent premature warping or burnout
· Internal circulation pump for heating loop and hot water
heat exchanger
· Insulated enclosure retains heat and minimizes noise
· Easy to install, field serviceable, with hookups and
connections easily accessible from the top of the heater
· Quiet operation and low power consumption
· Low-pressure fuel system with built-in fuel pump
· Fuel-efficient burner capable of burning a wide variety of
diesel-based fuels
· No smoke or smell from the exhaust
· Fan assisted; sealed combustion chamber is designed to
use outside air through a direct ventilation hook-up
· Simple, low amperage draw ignition
Return fuel line to eliminate air and prevent nuisance
