You should therefore choose Alde's hydronic heating system

The boiler produces heat for heating and hot water. To heat up the glycol fluid (the fluid that circulates round the heating system), energy from liquid petroleum gas or electricity is required. In the boiler, there is a liquid petroleum gas fired burner that works in two power steps, depending on how much heat is needed. If the caravan in connected to 230 V (120 V in US), you can choose electrical heating using the inbuilt immersion heaters in the boiler.

If you need extra heating, you can run on liquid petroleum gas and electricity at the same time, to obtain as rapid heating as possible. If you want the boiler to prioritise electricity for heating ahead of liquid petroleum gas, you can select this easily from the control panel. You can also select the opposite, and have liquid petroleum gas as the prioritised form of energy.

In order for the heated glycol fluid to circulate in the system, a circulation pump is required. Usually, it is fitted immediately adjoining the boiler.

The boiler has an inbuilt water heater, which makes sure you always have hot water for the shower and the kitchenette as soon as the boiler is running. The water heater provides about 15 litres (4 gal) of ready-mixed 40 ºC (104 ºF) hot water. If you are a winter camper and do not want freshwater in the vehicle, you can still run the heating system.

The waterborne system that provides quiet, comfortable and effective heating.

• Can be powered by both liquid petroleum gas and electricity.
• Inbuilt 8,4-litre (2.2 gal) water heater.
• Can be supplemented by comfort and efficiency improving accessories.

Alde Flow is the smart comfort solution that gives you hot water for as long as you want via a separate water heater that is connected to the vehicle's heating system. Alde Flow connects into the heating system and preheats the freshwater before it is conveyed into the boiler's ordinary water heater.

With a normal shower flow, Alde Flow together with Alde Compact 3030/3020 HE delivers 3.5 litres (0.9 gal) of 40-degree (104 ºF) shower water per minute for as long as you have water left in your freshwater tank.

For older boilers such as Alde Compact 3010 and 3020, Alde Flow acts as an extra, 6-litre (1.6 gal), hot water tank.

• Extra water heater which produces 3.5 litres (0.9 gal) of continuous hot water per minute 40 ºC (104 ºF).
• Compact solution which connects to direct heating boiler.
• Simple to control via Alde Control Panel.
• Also fits older 3010/3020 systems.

The convectors consist of heating pipes with densely packed aluminium plates. They are placed by the outer walls, usually hidden behind the furniture. The convectors emit heat that, via self-convection, surrounds you with a protective curtain of heat – an optimal solution that prevents draughts and downdraughts.

This is how self-convection works
In our heating system, we make use of the fact that hot air naturally rises upwards, so-called self-convection. The convectors heat up the air, which rises and heats the walls and furniture as well as forming an air barrier between the windows to keep the cold out. When the warm air reaches the ceiling, it circulates down and inwards towards the floor and is reheated by the convectors. In this way you obtain gentle, quiet and efficient heating in the vehicle.

Convectors can also be placed with advantage in other spaces in the vehicle where extra, additional, heating is required such as, for example, behind the driver seats in mobile homes or in small insulated storage spaces, where there would otherwise be a risk for frost.

• Gentle, quiet and efficient heating.
• Uniform heat distribution in the whole vehicle.
• Prevents draughts and downdraughts by windows.
   

Our underfloor heating with coils in the floor gives you a cosy, warm floor and that extra feeling of comfort. It consists of coiled pipes with heat-conducting plates which are milled into the floor. This gives you a complete heating system with a warm, comfortable floor on which to rest your feet. The coils are connected into the ordinary heating system and the heat flow is usually governed via shunt valves.

Underfloor heating is an excellent complement to the heating system's convectors and contributes to rapid heating and even and comfortable warmth in the vehicle.

• Produces cosy, warm floors which increase the feeling of comfort.
• Connects to the ordinary heating system which can be heated with both electricity and LPG.
• Excellent complement to the heating system's convectors.

It is a wonderful everyday luxury to be able to dry towels, clothes and shoes with a fan convector in the wardrobe. A function that not only extends the camping season, but one that is also much appreciated on a normal summer evening. The fan convector can also be placed with advantage in other spaces where extra heating is needed.

The fan convector is a specially manufactured convector with heating pipes and extra densely packed aluminium plates that are connects to the vehicle's ordinary heating system. To really get the air moving, two 12-volt fans are fitted under the convector. The fans can be either controlled by a switch
or via the control panel.

• Smaller size than the standard convectors.
• Rapid heat distribution using two 12-volt fans.

You can then save both energy and the environment with our heat exchanger. It utilises the motorhome engine's cooling system for heating and production of hot water. It only works if you have a hydronic heating system.

You can use your engine's cooling system to heat the living area using a heat exchanger in combination with Alde's hydronic central heating system. This will give you hot water as well, which is also heated by the motorhome’s engine. The only thing you need to do is to set the required temperature on the control panel, the system takes care of the rest automatically.

For winter campers, the heat flow can also be reversed together with a circulation pump on the engine side. The heat exchanger will then act as an engine heater, as the heating system will heat the engine’s cooling system.

The environmentally-friendly heat exchanger is one of the unique functions that you can only obtain with a hydronic heating system.

• Preheats the living area while travelling.
• Can be used as an engine heater (if circulation pump is connected on the engine side).

Fully integrated with our programming, you don't even need to touch the control panel at bedtime.   

By supplementing your Alde Heating System with air conditioning from Truma, you get the complete climate system, which senses indoor and outdoor temperatures and adjusts fan speeds and temperature to the ideal level. You never have to worry about turning the AC on or off again - everything is taken care of automatically.

Alde Automatic Climate control
Alde Compact 3030/3030 Plus is ready to be connected to a Truma AC and give you automatic climate control. Add room sensors  and a load monitor and you have the complete comfort solution.

This is how it works
• Enter the desired temperature on the control panel. You can select a specific temperature for Normal Mode, Night Mode and an additional mode for day if needed. 
• The boiler and the AC then balance heating and cooling. The boiler and the AC never work against each other, avoiding rapid, unwanted changes of heat and cold. The AC adjusts the fan speed to the cooling demand, depending on the outdoor temperature.
• The AC never needs to be turned off. In hot climates where the AC needs to run at night, it automatically runs quieter during the selected Night Mode period.

Advantages with Alde Automatic Climate Control
• Stable temperature around the clock, all year round without having to change settings. 
• Your ideal room temperature, day and night. 
• Enjoy a calm, comfortable indoor atmosphere with subtle transitions in temperature. 
• Practical, hands-off control with no extra complexity. 
• Faster heat-up times in cold weather with the boiler and AC heat pump working together (not available in Truma Aventa Compact).

Handy!
Optional: With an Alde load monitor you can stop worrying about tripping circuit breakers. The load monitor reduces the output of both the boiler and the AC if the amperage exceeds the limit you set.

Room sensors for deluxe comfort
Optional: With two room sensors—one in the sleeping area and one by the sitting area—you can choose a temperature for each zone. Just enter the desired temperature, and the automation will take care of the rest.
