Has anyone looked into the option of doing a hydronic heating system? For example something like the Eberspaecher Hydronic M10? My understanding is that the advantage is:
1) No ducts required, instead uses small warm water hose that goes to radiator 2) warm water for the shower, etc without need to run the engine/generator I am in particular attracted to the idea of always having warm water S/V Ventus Hanse 415, #314

As an owner of a 385 with the original Eberspacher D4 installed i can tel you that the heating capa is limit for me. Putting the device on full power when you arrive for the weekend with an outside temp of approx 3 °C it takes hours and hours before there is some comfortable heat inside. This is my personal experience and for me more heating capacity would be welcome. In summer time with colder days where you need some heat to " warm it up " it is largely sufficient. |

Sorry to hear that you are not satisfied at all.
To be honest is a great surprise to me to hear that. I am thinking of mounting a heating system to mine as it is the only extra I have not mounted when I ordered my 385 and found out that it would be useful

Thank you very much for your reply.
As I can understand you are talking about a whole new system which works completely different. I will take a look at it. |

Hi All,
The heater in my H385 #407 ist made by Eberspächer and I am really satisfied concerning the efficiency. Not only during the summer :-) but in march/april the temperatures increase sometimes only to 3-5 degree with a strong wind. When the ship was new I wondered about little bad heating in the salon. I found that a hose was not mounted properly. 5 Minutes later: By the way: no one should wonder when the heater is not running. If the level of Diesel is around or lower than 50% the Heater is shot down because it don't get Diesel . The pipe down the tank serving the pump is rather short. One don't believe but this issue is not known to the technical service of Hanse and so I claimed this issue over 2 years until an external stuff informed me about the short pipe. A real nuisance is that the self priming pump for diesel to heater is ticking very loud. Last year I have heard that Eberspächer has developed a silence version. On the next boat show in Düsseldorf I will ask them for that issue. An owner of a H415 told me that he has isolated the hoses with standard insulant from DIY. Hereby the efficiency had been increased very well. But up today I have avoided to perform this task. yours, Magnum |

Magnum is right, especially the main duct under the port cabin and in the engine room should be insulated. You will have more difficulties to access the duct through the head and to the fore cabin for insulation. I will fit an additional computer fan to the vent in the forecabin this spring. The advantage of the forced air heating is that you a) heat up the boat quikcly and b) dry the air inside.
The hydronic systems is often used on motor boats. It takes definitely a longer time to heat the boat, but is easier to install ( two pipes and a 12 V supply to each heater), less noisy. My friends in the Marina, who have such a system on their boat, have fitted a GSM module. They switch the heater on and preselect the temperature from home about 3 hours before they come on board for the weekend. BR Edited by Fendant - 08 January 2020 at 16:48 |

I fitted an Eberspacher Hydronic D5 on High Time before winter 2012 and have been very satisfied with the result. Installation was straightforward but quite time consuming. Running the 22mm and 15mm push fit plumbing around the boat was easy and fitting the 'boiler', fuel feed and exhaust is very similar to the equivalent forced air installation. However, installing the 4 matrix fan outlets (1 each in the rear cabin and forepeak and 2 in the saloon), plus the associated high/low/off switches and associated wiring does take some time. You are correct that you can also heat the domestic hot water from the hydronic boiler - however, it does require replacement of the standard single coil calorifier with a dual coil (assuming you also want to retain engine heating). I have not done this (but it would be a good time to install a larger capacity calorifier). Overall, the system is a good solution for a larger sailing boat. It heats up quickly and the matrix fans do not turn on until the water is warm. There is plenty of heat for the forepeak, often a problem with a forced air system and the system is also flexible with 4 separately controlled outlets. My one minor disappointment is the noise from the matrix fans on high power. However, you quickly get used to it and they can be turned to low power once the boat is warm.
