8.1 Features of Your Oasis
®
Chinook
Heating System
The Oasis
®
Chinook Heating System uses an 50,000 BTU (true
output) diesel burner (12 VDC) controlled by a multi-functional
electronic controller as the primary source of heating coolant
(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 Oasis
®
Chinook Heating
System heats the coolant to provide a source of heat for all
hydronic space heating needs. Through the use of its integral
distribution pumps, the Oasis
®
Chinook Heating System has the
ability to circulate the coolant to all space heating areas. It can
also provide a supply of domestic hot water using the integral
heat exchanger. The Oasis
®
also incorporates engine heat and
optional engine preheat functions. (see Figure 1-2: Oasis
®
Chinook Heating System).
Other features of the Heating System include:
·
Built in coolant distribution pumps capable of supplying
coolant to multiple heating fans in a single loop, located in up
to five different zones.
·
An internal heat exchanger provides for production of potable
hot water and use of engine waste heat and engine pre-heat
(optional). For engine pre-heat, an optional engine pre-heat
pump and specific remote panel switch must be installed.
