Installation of a Supplementary Heating System
When the installation of a supplementary heating system is deemed necessary, it is advisable to use the types recommended
by IVECO.
For vehicles on which IVECO has not anticipated the use of supplementary heaters, the installation should be carried out in com-
pliance with the supplier’s instructions (i.e. heater arrangement, piping, electrical system etc.) and following the
directions given
below.
All national rules and regulations relevant to the matter should be adhered to (i.e. inspections, particular installation for dangerous
cargo transportation etc.). The supplementary heating system must not make use of the equipment that is specific to the vehicle
which is subject to approval if the use is liable to impair or alter the performance of the equipment.
Furthermore:
-
ensure correct operation of the vehicle components and equipment (i.e. cooling system);
-
check the electrical system to ensure that the battery capacity and alternator output is sufficient for the higher current require-
ments (see point 2.16). Provide the new circuitry with a protection fuse;
-
connect the intake of the newly added fuel system to the reservoir connected to the engine fuel return line. Direct feed from
the vehicle fuel tank is permitted only if this is independent from the engine fuel system and the new circuit is perfectly leakproof;
-
trace pipe and cable paths, the location of brackets and hoses bearing in mind that the overall dimensions and heat affect the
various units on the chassis. Avoid runs and arrangements that could lead to hazards when the vehicle is running. Use shields
or armouring if necessary;
a)
When installing a water heater, original vehicle heating and engine cooling circuits are involved (see point 2.10), it is advisable
to follow the instructions listed below to ensure reliability of the heating system and safe operation of the original system:
-
special care must be taken when defining the connections between the supplementary equipment and the main one; refer
to IVECO, if necessary;
-
determine a rational arrangement for piping, avoid neckings and siphonings;
-
install proper venting valve (bleeding points) to ensure proper filling of the system;
-
ensure that the circuit may be fully drained by providing additional plugs if necessary;
-
proper insulation should be used to prevent heat dissipation.
b)
When air heaters are used and when the installation is to be made directly in the cab, make sure that the engine exhaust system
does not touch the added installation (to prevent combustion gas circulation inside the vehicle) and have the correct warm
air distribution by avoiding direct air flows;
-
the complete installation should be designed to ensure good accessibility for quick and easy servicing.
