Engine Heat Exchangers use the cooling system of your motorhome’s engine for heating You can use your engine’s cooling system to heat the living area using a heat exchanger in combination with Alde’s hydronic central heating system. This will also give you hot water, which is heated by the motorhome’s engine as well.
For winter campers, the heat flow can also be reversed using a circulation pump on the engine side. The heat exchanger will then act as an engine block heater, as the heating system will heat the engine’s cooling system.
Preheat the living area while you’re driving
Can be used as an engine block heater (if a circulation pump is connected on the engine side)
Easily controlled via the control panel
Environmentally friendly thanks to the use of waste heat and engine preheating Purpose of antifreeze:
To facilitate the circulation and provide a pleasant and balance
You may already be aware that Alde Heating is a hydronic systems. This means that a heating fluid is heated up in the boiler and then circulated through pipework, which provides heat via emitters like convectors, towel radiators, etc. The heating fluid contains an antifreeze that also protects against corrosion and bacterial growth, but these qualities deplete over time. Alde Premium G13 Antifreeze is magenta in colour and should be replaced every 5 years. If your fluid is a different colour, change it after 2 years.
Purpose of antifreeze:
To facilitate the circulation and provide a pleasant and balanced heating system.
Anti-freezing.
Corrosion protection. Inhibitors form a protective coating inside the system.
Prevents bacterial growth.
What type of antifreeze should I choose?
Only use Alde approved antifreeze products.
All approved antifreeze meets the same specification VWAG TL-774-J, also known as “G13”.
Concentrated antifreeze should be mixed 50:50 with deionised water, but most products these days are pre-mixed/ready to use. By maintaining your heating fluid, you know that your system con tains the right mix of antifreeze and water. That the risk of frost and corrosion damage and bacterial growth has been minimised.
