ATTENTION:
– The statutory regulations governing the installation must be
adhered.
– If the water heater is to be operated in a separately installed
heating system, prior to installation an installation planning
report must always be submitted to Valeo 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.
– To the temperature sensor cable no mechanical load must be
applied (pull on the cable, carry the heater at the cable etc.).
– Heaters and circulating pumps shall be always installed in such
a way that a negative impact by road dirt, splashing water,
exhaust gases or other harmful influences is excluded.
NOTE:
Consider the installation situation of the relevant vehicle type.
3.1.

Installation location

The heater and the circulating pump are to be integrated into the cooling
system (or in a separate heating system). The requirements regarding
the combustion air supply (see Chapter 8) must be considered.
The heater should be installed as low 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 a sufficient external
ventilation to ensure that the maximum temperature of 100°C is not
exceeded in the box.
This installation space is not a stowage compartment and must be kept
clear. This prohibition applies in particular for fuel canisters, oil cans, fire

extinguishers, cleaning rags, paper and all easily flammable materials.
Water which has been ingressed or condensed must be able to run
autonomously from the installation space.
Bear in mind the space required for servicing accessibility (for example
for removing the combustion chamber) (see Figures 1 and 5) when
installing the heater.
