You have to have something for expansion and some storage. If you don't the D5 will short cycle so bad that it just will not work right. Your last drawing is how I always recommend plumbing it.

Re: Espar Hydronic Maintenance

Sounds more like a combustion blower. If you listen to the first video when the heater is winding up you can hear the sound of the second video for a few seconds. I also see the white smoke and it...

Re: Espar furnace shutting off

Get a picture of your controller so I can see it. Anything 2010 and newer should have the digi controller. Gray wire should be disconnected as for altitude you should have to do nothing on a 2010 and...

Re: Hot & cold water system

No need for all the fancy manifolds. All you need is the combination valve available through us. Also do not use veggie oil in the D10 unless its <20% you will wish you hadn't. Only the D8 M-II is...

Re: Espar Heater Problems

The only way to reset the F50 is with a fault code reader, or the new Digi Max controller.

Re: Espar Heater Problems

You have hit the nail on the head. The D4 is over sized and runs on low most of the time. A D2 will heat the van except in the coldest of conditions like way below zero.

Re: Espar Heater Problems

After running the kerosene through it run the heater on high for 30-60 minutes once a month or every other month. That will do the most for preventing carbon build up.
