THE ORIGINAL BOBIL HOT WATER SYSTEM!
The Bobil Air Xchange uses the hot air expelled from your diesel heater to heat your water through use of heat exchangers.
By pumping water through a heat exchanger (which is attached to a diesel heater) the Bobil Air Xchange transfers heat from the blown air into the water allowing you to wash up, do dishes or have a hot shower.
You can set the temperature you would like the water to be, and it will automatically switch off when it hits it.
If you are worried about the kit heating up your van, there is a diverter included as standard which means you can direct the hot air out of your van whilst you heat your water. Alternatively, if you want to keep warm in winter, you can set the diverter to a 'middle' position, so it heats you van and the water at the same time. This diverter can be controlled by an optional diverter cable to remote control the diverter valve.
NEW FOR 2023: You can now order the Bobil Xchange system with our new Bobil Smart Controller. This automatically controls the diverter valve based on whether you want to heat air or water. It also powers the optional 12V element when your batteries are full - the controller monitors your battery voltage and when your batteries are full it will divert that excess power to the element, e.g. when you have excess solar or when you are driving. This means that when you get to your destination you will have hot water, and in the summer months when it's nice and sunny you can have hot water for free!
The Bobil Smart controller requires certain software for your heater type. Please enter your diesel/LPG/petrol heater make and model into the box provided.
The Bobil Smart eliminates the need for the diverter cable as it is all controlled automatically. It also can be connected to level sensors so that the controller will also show you your water levels in your tanks. .
You can also now connect this system with our new underfloor heating kit to provide underfloor heating, as well as hot water and hot air, making it a 3-in-1 heating system!
