This integrated hydronic system uses a dedicated diesel liquid heater to warm a coolant circuit, with an internal heat exchanger supplying domestic hot water and connections for compatible interior heating equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 120V package includes the Baltica system, Baltica Flow 5D heater and Baltica Control panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHot water and interior heat in one system\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWash dishes, rinse off after a day outside and enjoy a warm living space. AUTOTERM lists approximately 6–10 minutes for hot water availability after activation. Interior heating can be configured with radiators or fan coils, while compatible heated-floor installations offer another way to distribute warmth. Actual performance depends on installation, starting temperature and heating demand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElectric heating support lets you use suitable shore power or an appropriately sized inverter system to reduce diesel runtime. A solar installation requires the necessary battery, inverter and available power; the system does not connect directly to solar panels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDedicated diesel heating\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Baltica Flow 5D provides 5 kW of heating output. The manufacturer's heater specifications list a maximum fuel consumption of 0.62 L\/hour, operating electrical consumption of 42 W and startup consumption of 122 W. Approved fuels listed for the heater are EN590 diesel and EN15940 HVO100.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAUTOTERM reports testing the Baltica system at 2,800 m.

A separately mounted heater must sit within ±50 cm of the tank centreline. The additional heating loop is limited to 6 m, with radiators or fan coils no more than 1.5 m above the coolant pump.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDomestic-water applications require non-corrosive propylene glycol compatible with aluminium and stainless steel. Use AUTOTERM Aluminium EKO Coolant or an equivalent meeting the manufacturer's requirements. Do not fill the coolant circuit with water or ordinary automotive antifreeze.
