9. Optional Hot Water Coil Installation
A hot water coil can be added to also enjoy water heating from your
Dickinson diesel heater. You can either order your heater with one already
installed in the heater or you can install the coil later yourself. Hot water
coils are made of 5/8” OD stainless steel tubing and are available in a 1 turn
coil for all model heaters to heat approx. 5-10 gallons of water. Hot water
coils are also available in 2 turn coils for only the Antarctic and Lofoten
models to heat approx. 15-20 gallons of water. To plumb the hot water to the
heater, ½” copper tubing should be used with the compression fittings
provided.
The coil in a heater can be used to heat the water in your existing hot water
supply tank. If the tank is mounted above the lower coil, the water will
circulate on its own from the tank into the hot coils and rise back into the
tank by convection. If not, the water will need to be circulated by a low
volume water pump. The temperature of the water will change depending on
the speed of which it’s circulating and the operating settings on the heater.
It takes approx. 3000 btu’s to raise 10 gallons of water to 30 degrees in 1
hour. Most of the btu’s that the heater produces is dissipated as radiant heat
and is expelled through the chimney. Therefore, only a general guideline as
to water heater capability can be set.
WARNING: A pressure relief valve must be present or dangerous pressure
buildup will occur.
* See typical coil install diagrams on pg. 20*
It is best to order the heater with the coil already installed but follow these
instructions for replacing or installing a new coil.
1. Remove the nuts holding the outer shield and open the front door to
manipulate the front and back shield off the Newport and Alaska model
heaters.
2. Remove the top baffle from inside the firebox.
