Eberspracher Airtronic D2 Installation Manual - Positioning The Heater
Positioning the heater
10
3
The heater should be installed in a dry and protected
position and within the permissible mounting planes as
shown below. Before deciding on the position, be aware
that the location of the exhaust hull fitting and length of
the exhaust may limit where you position the heater unit.
Refer to the exhaust chapter for further information.
Also you must consider where the heater will draw in the
air for heating and its limitations as shown in the ducting
chapter of this manual.
Cockpit locker or engine / machinery spaces are ideal
installation locations for the heater.
However, the heater must not be installed into any
accommodation area.
Ideally, the heater is installed with the exhaust, fuel and
combustion air connections pointing vertically downward.
Failure to achieve this could affect the optimum
performance of the heater, particularly when sailing at an
angle. The heater will operate in conditions of permanent
15° angle and after starting to a maximum angle of up to
30°.
Please Note!
When deciding on the position, consideration should also
be given for future servicing and access for removal of
the heater.

Positioning the Heater for Sailing Yachts
Keep the heater within the horizontal and vertical plains
when installing in a sailing yacht. This will ensure the
heater stays within its permissable parameters, even
when the yacht is heeled over.
