IMPORTANT
– The statutory regulations governing installation on pages 35 and 36
must be adhered to.
– If the water heater is to be operated in a separately installed heating
system, prior to installation an installation planning report must
always besubmitted to Spheros for approval. If this approval is not
obtained, all warranty and liability claims will be void. The water
heater has been designed, tested and approved for specific bus
requirements.
NOTE:
Check the installation situation of the relevant vehicle type.
3.1.

Installation location

The heater and circulating pump are to be integrated into the cooling
system (or in a separate heating system).
The heater must be installed in as low a position as possible to allow the
heater and circulating pump to be bled automatically. This is particularly
important as the circulating pump is not self-priming.
If it is not possible to install the heater in the vehicle's engine bay it may
be installed in a box. The installation box must have sufficient external
ventilation to ensure that the maximum temperature of 85°C is not
exceeded in the box.
Bear in mind the space required for servicing accessibility (for example
for removing the combustion chamber) (see Figures 1, 2 and 7) when
installing the heater.

3.1.1. Installation Location in Rail Vehicles
When the heater is to be installed in rail vehicles, it should be installed
either in the engine room (e.g. locomotive) or underfloor in an installation
box at the wagon body (e.g. railcar). Other installation locations require
Spheros's approval in writing.
NOTE:
No antivibration mounts must be used for securing the heater in rail
vehicles.
