[Webasto Top Water Temperature]

PeterF,

 

That's really useful - thanks.

 

I had not seen this workshop manual before, having had only the installation manual and user manual.

 

So I reckon I need to reduce the waterflow so the water gets hotter and that will cause the heater to go into eco mode rather than being on full chat all the time. Does that make sense?

blackrose, thanks you for your continued input.

 

The unit is a Thermotop Evo 5 kW heater with a variable heat output between 5kW and 2.5Kw.

 

The radiators in total are rated at 4.8kW.

 

I don't need to touch the rads it is just that they are so hot I can feel the heat a couple of feet away and I touched one to realise they are really hot.

 

The temp of the radiators at the feed is about 75 degC and at the return is about 55 degC

 

How can I adjust the heater so it only produces 2.5kW?

Blackrose, missed your comment about the rads. They are two panel radiators.

Thanks blackrose. No room for any more radiators and no second coil in the calorifier.

The Webasto heater has been installed in my boat for a year and drives three radiators.

 

Ever since installation the radiators have got very hot - far too hot to touch. How can I reduce the temperature of the water?

 

Many thanks.

[Water Explorer - to shut down at end of 2022]

Stuart, thanks for all you have done. I tried to download the cached osm tiles yesterday, but only got a whole lot of empty folders. ☹️

Hi Stuart, like many others I have got trips going back years and have most of the .gpx files still.

 

So, many thanks for all that you have done to make this happen and continue over the years.

 

Now, there used to be a facility to print out one's total coverage map but, I have noticed that it hasn't worked for quite a while.

 

Would it be possible to reinstate that for a short while so that we could create and print such maps before it shuts down and the data is lost?

Thanks for the welcome. Don't know any Charlie Carters.

Welcome to the forum, Steve. I'm sure I've seen your boat - I noticed the Cornish name because I have a customer who lives in Chyandour Terrace in Penzance. Do you travel the South Oxford?

We did come up the South Oxford a few weeks ago, so you may have seen us then. Or boat is mainly black. There is one other Chyandour on the system; it is mainly blue and lives on the Erewash Canal.

WRT the pulley at Atherstone. It was indeed used for starting the boat out of the lock with the horse walking back down the lock because the towpath forwards went over the basin bridge and that made the pull much more difficult. (Refer to the pictures to see).
