Hi Seas Heating Corporation / Diesel Heater

[Aurea]

I noticed Biscay36 had sent a PDF manual to Daneasysailing.

Would it be possible to get this PDF?

I just bought one of these heaters and it seems to work but I could
definetly use the manual before Install it.

Any help would be great!

Thanks

It's 25 Degrees Here In North Florida! I Was Just Given A Hi-seas
Heater In Pieces. It's Model 100c. If Possible Could I Get In Line For A Manual Also? The Posts Are Very Informative Regarding Troubleshooting.
There Was No Pump With The Unit. Does Anyone Have More Detail On The "facet" Pump As A Replacement? Is Fuel Metering Dealt With At The Valve Assy.? Can A Gravity Feed Day Tank Be Used?

If Anyone Can Forward A Manual Many Thanks:

Happy New Year!

Thier are no new parts for High Seas but these guys have parts that will work

DickinsonMarine.com - Propane Fireplaces

O and gravity tanks still need a pulse pump or heat will end after ten mins or so.

Thanks For The Dickenson Parts Info. I'm Interested In The "pulse" Detail Of The Pump. Is There A Chance Of Copies Of The Manual Still Being Available?

Any chance I could get a copy of the manual by email? I just picked up one of these units and it would be great to know how it works before installing.

Hello Charlie,

A reply from the other side of the big water.
I also have the type C100-8 aboard and looked up for some more information of this outstanding heater. I did some maintenance in 2009 (just cleaning) and replace the firepit(!?) with a special glassfibre. It was original asbestos.

I am very interested in a copy of that manual you mentioned!
Any chance to e-mail this manual?
I would appreciate that.

I just scanned a Dutch written manual into a pdf.
If anyone is interested (and able to read), I will send it.

With regards
Ron van Wijngaarden

I am not a frequent user of the sailnet forum, so perhaps you could advise on the easiest means of forwarding on this document to you.

I can send by email, but that assumes that you wish to share your emial address.

Just let me know.

Thanks.

Charlie.

Charlie .. any chance I too could get a copy of that Hi-Seas heater manual from you? Just bought the used heater THEN found out how hard it is to find parts as well as the manual.
Thanks so much.

Gentlemen.. the key component in diesel heaters like Dickinson Sigmar and others is the "oil metering valve" or carburetor, such heaters with valves like this have been around a very very long time."gravity" feed or low pressure pump just get the fuel to the metering valve.. The use of stainless steel jackets and flues make them marine type heaters. You may remember a heater that worked the same way when you went to your grandads hunting cabin!

Fuel oil needs high temps, atomization, wick, plate, pan, or basket type burner, which is heated by the flame so much it glows and acts like a catalytic converter.

So..when the needle valve is coked up.. the flow diminishes,,, the oil delivered is not enough to get the burner section hot enough to cause complete combustion.. SOOT! Learn how to clean the metering valve often.. it's the key to happy heating and sootless combustion. use of kero may help but it will still eventually coke up

here's a rendition of a new heater with the same old type of combustion your boat heaters use. Flame GLT-I

Does this look similar? http://www.rural-energy.com/publicat...cument-244.pdf
