Espar Airtronic D2 Diesel Heater Kit 7,500 BTU

ESPAR Airtronic D2 Marine Diesel Heater Kit 7,500 BTU

Since 1973, Espar has brought state-of-the-art German technology to the North American marketplace. Known for a comprehensive range of independent and compact diesel fuel heaters, they've made a name for themselves in the marine industry.

Eberspaecher is a family-owned company that is proud of its heritage and proud of the quality products and services it provides globally. 2015 marked the 150-year anniversary for Eberspaecher and Espar, and Espar is proud to announce that it will officially assume the Eberspaecher name in the marketplace, while maintaining "Espar" as a legal business entity.

The Airtronic D2 Kit comes complete with everything required for installation and is suitable for sailboats up to 26', and power boats to 17'. The Airtronic D2 model offers a range of four thermal outputs to closely match your on-board heating needs. From a Low 2,900 BTU output to the "Boost" level of 7,500 BTUs, the Eberspaecher D2 Heater is compact, convenient, economical to run and time-tested for safety, with over 30 years of successful installations.

With power boat installations, the Eberspaecher Air Heater is normally installed in the engine area with hot air ducted to the cabins via flexible tubes. All you see are the discreet outlets in the cabins. Diesel fuel can be drawn either directly from a main diesel tank, with the included fuel metering pump, or if you have a gasoline engine, it is recommended to use a separate tank to hold the diesel. The heater's fuel usage is such that only a small tank is needed.

With space a premium in a sailboat, the compact size of an Eberspaecher D2 unit reflects this, with the heater usually being fit in a stern/cockpit locker, and the exhaust being led away to the transom. The warm air duct system is led to the cabins behind panels and through interior lockers. All that can be seen are the outlets in berth/seating fascia. The ducts are kept as short as possible to maintain efficient airflow. As ducts pass through interior lockers, natural surface heat loss creates useful drying compartments. This surplus heat is also doing much for heating those hidden corners beneath the cabin floors. Fuel is drawn from the main diesel tank, and the actual consumption is so small that it does not materially affect the capacity of fuel carried for the engine.

A 12 Volt battery connection is necessary to drive the initial ignition, fuel system and main air fan; however, the heater is designed to offer a balance of economic electrical draw with optimum heat and air power performance.

Whether power or sail, an Airtronic D2 Eberspaecher diesel-fired heater will keep you warm and comfortable, no matter what the weather or season. Every Eberspaecher heater is engineered for years of reliable use, and backed by a two-year, 2000 Hour parts and labour warranty. An international network of distributors and dealers ensures prompt, courteous service wherever you go.
