1.3 Hurricane
®
Chinook Heating System
Features
The Hurricane
®
Chinook Heating System uses a 50,000 BTU (true
output) diesel burner (12 VDC) controlled by a multi-functional
electronic controller as the primary source of heating heat-transfer
fluid (anti-freeze and water). Two 1500 Watt, 120 VAC immersion
elements are used as secondary heat sources to provide an
additional 10,000 BTU of heat. The Hurricane
®
Chinook Heating
System heats the heat-transfer fluid to provide a source of heat for
all hydronic space heating needs. Through the use of its integral
fluid distribution pumps, the Hurricane
®
Chinook Heating System
has the ability to circulate the heat-transfer fluid to all space heating
areas. It can also provide a supply of potable hot water using the
integral heat exchanger. The Hurricane
®
also incorporates engine
heat and preheat (optional) functions. (see
Figure 1-2: Hurricane
®
Chinook Heating System)
.
Other features of the Hurricane
®
Chinook Heating System include:
•
Built in fluid distribution pumps and heat exchanger for heating
multiple zones and also producing potable hot water. The heat
exchanger also allows engine pre-heating (optional) and the use
of engine waste heat. The electronic Zone Board Controls up to
five space heating zones.
•
Support for on-demand potable hot water with an adjustable
temperature regulating valve. This valve is pre-set at the factory
to limit the maximum temperature of the heated potable water
to 120ºF (49°C). with a total hot water demand of 1.5 GPM or
less, and an incoming water temperature of 60ºF (16ºC) or
higher.
•
Easy to install and field serviceable with system hookups and
connections easily accessible from the top of the heater.
• Efficient
• Clean
• Quiet
• Compact
• Safe
• Rugged
• Reliable
• Economical
