DESCRIPTION OF THE HEATING SYSTEM

The Alde Compact 3010 boiler (Figure 1) is designed
to provide both heat and domestic hot water. The boiler
includes both an LP Gas burner and an electric heating
element, and you can use the system with either LP gas
or electricity, or with both. The heating system consists
of the boiler unit as well as an expansion tank (Figure 2),
which is installed at the highest point on the RV. Check
with your RV owner's manual to determine where the
expansion tank is installed. The heating system works by
circulating hot glycol fluid through pipes and heat convec-
tors, similar to the hydronic heating system used in many
homes. The boiler is fitted with a 12-volt electrical circula-
tion pump that is used to circulate the heated fluid. The
heat convectors located near the floor of the RV allow air
to be heated by the hot fluid in the system, and then the
air rises and circulates to heat the space in your RV. The
boiler is also fitted with a built-in hot boiler (water heater)
that has a volume of approx. 2.5 gallons (8.5 liters) fresh
water. The LP Gas boiler can produce around 3 gallons
(12 liters) of 104°F (40°C) water every half-hour. If the
electric heating elements are used instead of gas for pow-
ering the boiler, the capacity is slightly less. You may use
the boiler to heat the RV without filling the water heater.
DANGER
HOT WATER HAZARD
FARA
Hot water at temperatures above 125°F (51 ºC) can
cause serious scalding injuries and in extreme
DANGER
cases even death.
GEFAHR
The boiler can deliver hot water at a temperature up
to 185°F (85°C).
FARE
– For safe operation, use a mixing valve set at
VAARA
temperature no higher than 125°F (51°C).
PELIGRO
NOTICE
PERICOLO
The Compact 3010 heating system is designed to
GEVAAR
be used with a thermostat control. This manual
includes instructions for controlling the system
using the Alde Control Panel 3010 614
which is an optional part of the system. If your RV
has a different control system installed, please refer
to the instructions for that system.
The control system allows you to select LP Gas, electric-
ity, or both as the energy source. If both electricity and
gas are selected, the system gives priority to electrical
power
