Electric Supply
- 12V Dc Whispergen, Heat and power system. (Todays cost is in excess of £12000 with installation)
The main powerplant of the boat, ensures that the boat is never without hot water and a fully charged battery bank.
Essentially a heating system which through the use of an external combustion engine recycles waste heat and converts it to electricity.
Quietest generator avalible with extremely low gas emmisions.
Autocharging, when the battery bank is low the gen will start automatically.
Unlike other generators it can, if needed be run for 24hrs/day, does not use oil.
Incorporates an advanced battery management and charging system.
The battery bank acts as a buffer of electrical energy, ensuring a continous supply of electrical power, even when consumption outstrips generation.
Ideal live aboard personal power plant, the technology is now being put in to houses in the uk with national grid feedback.
