You are correct. Unfortunately our tank is in the bottom of the hull, constantly dissipating the heat of the water into the sea. Not economic to say the least. It takes several hours to reheat the water once the pool is re-filled.
This would involve a lot of structural re-design. Also as we have four engines a design like this would become very complex if we were to be able to use any engine for heating. This is not a viable option.
I cant answer that yet as I am still waiting on information on the size of the heaters required. I am guessing that there is prob be two 18KW heaters. This is 60Hz, 440v.
Connecting the heaters like that would mean that the control would be non variable. The power control needs to be...
The problem is that the on/off control will constantly be bringing on and taking off quite a large load for this board. The load on the board will constantly vary as other consumers switch on and off. Using a CT to control the heater for max current would work along with a on/off control from a...
The engine jackets are sea water cooled. In any case this would involve running pipework through fuel tanks. Trust me that was the first and easiest idea I looked at. It just isnt viable. Not only that, a failure of the heat exchanger could result in loss of the engine and contamination of the...
