Fothermo 10 Litres PV Caravan solar boiler

Fothermo 10 Litres CPVB Boiler suitable for caravan and motorhome use.

Description

A hot shower in the caravan. At any time at any place. Enjoy more independence, more freedom and more comfort!

The photovoltaic caravan water heater offers the ideal solution for a reliable and sustainable way of heating hot water in the caravan. Once installed, the water heater will produce free hot water for years. Just by the power of the sun.

The 10 liter caravan water heater is ideal for motorhomes, caravans or self-built motorhomes. Simply wherever hot water is needed in mobile applications.

Features of the product

More freedom

A hot shower after a busy day of walking or sightseeing in the city makes traveling a lot more pleasant. The photovoltaic water heater heats up during the day so that you can enjoy a hot shower immediately after returning to the caravan.

More independence

The photovoltaic water heater works exclusively on electricity. This electricity comes either directly from the photovoltaic module or from a battery. The annual gas inspection, the regular purchase of new gas bottles or the refueling of diesel for hot water production are now things of the past. The photovoltaic water heater produces free hot water, climate neutral and independent of fossil fuels.

Energy supply - photovoltaic module or battery?

Both are possible!
A 12V or 24V battery as well as one or more photovoltaic modules can be connected to the photovoltaic water heater. To commission the water heater, only the power cable of the water heater needs to be connected to the energy source. NB ! the water heater must be completely filled before you apply power to the water heater.

Connecting the photovoltaic module directly to the storage tank:
Up to 1500 Wp photovoltaic power can be connected to the water heater. The MPP tracker already integrated in the boiler ensures that as much energy as possible from the sun is converted into heat in the water heater. To commission the water heater, only the photovoltaic modules need to be connected to the water heater. No further devices such as charge controllers, MPP trackers, inverters or anything else are required.

Photovoltaic module power dimension:

For a reasonable operation of the caravan water heater, a photovoltaic power of at least 200 W is recommended. Under ideal weather conditions, the water heater would heat up from 15°C to 65°C in about 3 hours.
Approximately 580Wh of energy is required for a heating process from 15°C to 65°C water temperature.

Note:
All photovoltaic modules with an open-circuit voltage Uoc of less than 42.4 V can be connected to the photovoltaic water heater. These are usually all photovoltaic modules with 60 or 120 cells.

Photovoltaic modules with a voltage of 18V – 22V are usually used in the caravan sector. These are usually photovoltaic modules with a power between 100W and 200W and 36 cells. These modules are ideal for connection to the caravan water heater.

Use energy surpluses from the battery;
If the water heater is connected to a battery, you can choose between two modes:

Using excess energy:
The water heater only switches on automatically when the connected battery is fully charged.

Excess energy + reheating:
In the second mode, the water heater can also be heated via the battery if the water ever gets too cold. The battery is thereby discharged. From approximately 50% residual capacity of the battery, the heating process is automatically terminated so that sufficient energy is still available for light, refrigerator or mobile phone charging.

More product features:

  • 100% sustainable
  • Hot shower from renewable energy all over the world
  • Special caravan development
  • Innovative technologies and intelligent algorithms for maximum comfort
  • Flexible installation. The water heater can be mounted horizontally on a base plate or vertically on a wall
  • Two digital displays to see all important data at a glance. With a second display with a cable length of 5 meters, the temperature can be viewed anywhere in the caravan

Installation of the photovoltaic caravan water heater:


Installation: The installation of the caravan Water Heater is very simple. With four screws, the water heater is either screwed firmly to the floor plate or to a stable wall. The mounting rails on the water heater help with a simple and safe installation.
Water connection: The water connection is made via 1/2″ Inch standard screw thread. Suitable hoses for the connection are available at any DIY store. The water heater works under pressure. A simple 12V or 24V DC pump pumps the cold water from the water storage tank into the photovoltaic water heater when needed. At the outlet of the water heater, hot water flows to the tap. There it can be mixed with cold water using an ordinary tap.

The maximum water temperature of the water heater is 65°C. When the water heater is fully heated, about 25 liters of hot water can be extracted from it at about 35 degrees.
