The B3 Series water heater is a nautical water heater designed for marine environments, offering a reliable solution for hot water production on boats. Its design incorporates high-quality materials to ensure durability and resistance against the harsh conditions typically found in marine settings. The water heater is equipped with a heat exchanger that features a large surface area, optimizing the transfer of heat and ensuring efficient hot water production.
One of the key usage features of the B3 Series is its versatility in heating water. It can produce hot water not only through its heat exchanger, which utilizes the engine's cooling circuit, but also via an electric element. This electric element comes with an adjustable thermostat, allowing users to set their desired water temperature, and a safety thermostat for added protection. The presence of both heating methods provides flexibility, enabling hot water production even when the engine is not running, by relying on the vessel's electrical system.
The B3 Series water heater is designed for straightforward installation on a flat surface. It includes floor or wall-mounting brackets and various screws and hardware for assembly, simplifying the setup process for installers. Before installation, it is crucial to ensure the water heater is placed in a dry and well-ventilated area to prevent condensation, which could be mistaken for a leak. The installation procedure involves applying the brackets to the tank, fixing the water heater to a suitable flat surface, and making the necessary hydraulic connections for both hot water input/output and the engine cooling circuit. For models featuring a heat exchanger, the connection between the engine cooling circuit and the water heater exchanger should be kept as short as possible to maximize efficiency.
When making hydraulic connections, it is important to follow the engine manufacturer's instructions for withdrawing coolant to the water heater exchanger. The overpressure release pipe must be positioned on a continuous downward slope and in an area protected from ice formation, allowing any dripping water to drain into the atmosphere. The use of sealants like Loctite 243, 577, or Teflon is recommended for fittings to prevent leaks. After installation, users should open hot water taps and start the water pump to purge air from the system, closing the taps once only water flows out, and then check for any leaks.
For electrical connections, the B3 Series supports both DC and AC power supplies, depending on the model. For DC connections, the equipment is provided with a dedicated box, and an ON/OFF switch and a 30A fuse must be installed in the electrical system. For AC connections, the equipment comes with a power cable, and a double pole switch and a suitable fuse must be installed. It is critical to ensure that the operating voltage of the water heater matches the supplied voltage from the vessel's electrical network. A crucial safety precaution is never to switch on the electric element if the water heater is not filled with water, as this can irreversibly damage the heating element. If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by an authorized service center.
The AC thermostat is factory-set to 60°C, but users can adjust this temperature. To do so, the power supply must be interrupted, the protection cover removed to access the thermostat, and a screwdriver used to turn the knob to the desired temperature. After adjustment, the protection cover should be refitted, and the power supply restored. The thermostat only regulates water temperature when the electric element is in operation.
Maintenance features for the B3 Series include periodic checks to ensure optimal performance and longevity. During the cold season, if the water heater is not in use, it is advisable to empty it using the valve lever to prevent damage from frost. Periodically, the hydraulic system fittings should be checked for leaks, and the tightness of the fastening screws and any signs of wear or corrosion should be inspected. The efficiency of the electrical system should also be checked periodically.
For models equipped with a double thermostat with manual reset, if the overtemperature safety device is triggered repeatedly, users should contact a Quick® service center. Quick® water heaters (AC models only) are equipped with a double thermostat with manual reset that cuts off the power supply in the event of excessively high water temperature. If this condition occurs, the procedure for single-phase manual reset (for AC models) involves interrupting the power supply, removing the protection cover to reach the thermostat, using a screwdriver to turn the thermostat knob to the maximum temperature value, pressing the reset button on the double thermostat, using a screwdriver to turn the thermostat knob and set the desired temperature value, refitting the protection cover, and restoring the power supply.
It is also advisable to check the magnesium anode every 12 months and replace it if deteriorated. This simple preventive maintenance step helps guarantee a long equipment life. At the end of the product's life, dismantling must be carried out by qualified personnel. The product is made of various materials, some of which can be recycled, while others must be disposed of according to local regulations. It is forbidden to dispose of the product as domestic waste; instead, it should be separated for disposal in accordance with local regulations or returned to the seller when purchasing a new equivalent product.
