Continuous Hot Water
The hydronic system also provides continu-
ous 1.5 gallons-pre-minutes of hot water (at
approx. 106° F.) to the residential fresh water
system so you can enjoy a long shower and wash
that extra load of laundry.
Heat Exchanger (Engine Heat While Driving)
The heat exchanger feature allows the
hydronic system to recycle normally wasted heat
from the engine coolant and use it to heat the
coach or the house hot water system while driv-
ing.
Engine Coolant Pre-Warmer
An added feature of the hydronic system is a
built-in engine coolant pre-warm circuit. This
means you will enjoy easier cold weather starts
and reduce the stress on your engine, starter and
batteries.
Operating Your Hydronic Heating
System
Like conventional forced air furnaces,
hydronic heating systems are controlled by ther-
mostats. Each heat exchanger/fan unit heats a
corresponding zone until the desired temperature
is sensed by the thermostat and the fan shuts off.
It is important to remember when operating
this system that turning the thermostat up will
not heat the room instantly. Because radiant
water heat is more evenly distributed than forced
air, it may take some time to feel added warmth
once you turn the thermostat up. Wait about 30
minutes after setting a thermostat before read-
justing.
See Chapter 4 of the Hydronic Heating Sys-
tem manual included in your owner InfoCase.
