Eberspacher d3 again!

[The Commodore]

Looking at installing Eberspacher d3 and have downloaded the installation instructions, this may sound silly but its not clear in the instructions, to me, i know the combustion air supply comes from outside, but the ducted cold air supply for heating, isn't clear, i presume internal, but can you guys please clarify this for me.

 

Tar!

OK, not getting any luck with this so maybe time to reword it.

 

Could those members with Ebaspacher/Webasto airheaters tell me if they took air intake for the hot air from the inside cabin or from outside, does it make a differance ?

Anyone!!! please!!

Anyone!!! please!!

I have an eberspacher d3l on my grp senior 31, It takes the combustion air intake and the heating air intake from inside the engine bay where it is mounted, which is basicly inside the boat. It is only the exhaust outlet that is mounted with a through hull. I didnt install it, but had eberspacher engineers look at it a few months back and im sure they would have said if it was installed wrong.

Just had a look at the manual, and it says the combustion intake air "must be sucked in from the outside, not from the passenger compartment or trunk". I have found it tends to steam up when its wet, perhaps thats why!

Thanks very much for the reply Hamish, it was more the heating air intake i was concerned about so its good to hear the service man didnt question its installation.
