Post by: one eyed window cleaning on April 27, 2013, 08:25:22 pm: I think the water heater you have looked at on ebay is the eco temp L6 ? I have been using the L5 for at least the last four years, I inported it from the US. Good points it heats water and was quite easey to install. Bad points because its a open vent you have to leave at least one door open so it is vented. You also have to run at a high flow rate for it to work . I find a 19kg bottle of lpg lasts me an average of five weeks £39 ish from a normal outlet, but I get mine from a catering frend £21. Adam

It's an L5 you cannot fit a flue, you need to leave the doors open

Post by: PoleKing on April 27, 2013, 10:53:17 pm: What would happen if you closed the door to lock the van whilst working?
Could you leave the window open a crack to not fill the cab with CO?
Title: Re: water heater
Post by: poleman on April 28, 2013, 12:30:19 am: I wouldn't advice to close the doors when using this heater, you need good ventilation
Title: Re: water heater
Post by: PoleKing on April 28, 2013, 08:32:26 am: Thanks.
I'm not looking to argue but why?
Is it the fumes? Or will the boiler not fire for lack of oxygen? Or both? Or something else entirely?
Thanks in anticipation.

Yes is due to the fumes.

I built a flue for mine, unlike all the other people that use it even with the door open there vans still get carbon monoxide in them, with the flue I built I can pull the back doors together, not shut, and 99% goes out the van.

Post by: PoleKing on April 28, 2013, 09:30:29 am: I flued my last van but don't want to on this one.
I leave the doors open now, just wondered if any heaters would let me close the door (commercial jobs, mainly) and not cut a hole in my roof.

Title: Re: water heater
Post by: richard jagger on April 28, 2013, 11:31:19 am: Darren in answer to your question. It's both air intake and fumes.The intake needs air to burn the gas which will become fumes and flow out of the van. As I see it closing your van door the air needed to work correctly will be replaced with fumes and the flame will die. Even if you have a flue you will need air intake to keep the gas flame going.
