Having done the last radiator in the run first we continued round the boat starting in the rear dinette with the little wall rad and fin rads which will be under the bedfloor.

Narrowboat radiators. Warm air heating is quite rare on narrow boats so I am going to focus on central heating using wet radiators as we would in the house which is far the most common. Please read CAREFULLY. Here at MV Heating we have a variety of heaters suitable for many marine craft and the narrow boat is no exception.

They run on coal or wood if there is a shortage of supply and have been in use since the working boat days so they must be doing something right. It is also a good idea to lag your hot and cold water pipes too. We need to balance heat loss from the narrowboat with the heat output of the radiators.

Is it cold on your narrowboat is a common question asked by non-boaters. Ideal as a live aboard or a continuous cruiser one not to be missed. If you look at the diagram of the stove with back boiler system in Part 1 Stoves article that basically is a central heating system but using the stove as the central source.

This get rid of heat generated by the engine cooling it like a car radiator. What Im unsure of is actually how much heat in kw or btu I will need on a 62ft boat. It was a bad decision as though the radiators do get warm whilst the fire is going damping down at night to make it last for eight hours simply kills the flow of hot water to the radiators that cool-off very quickly leaving the bedroom bitterly cold virtually the same temperature as the outside and though I have amended the system to operate both with and without a pump there is still no heat in any of the radiators.

They are compiled from information supplied by the owner and possiblyan in water inspection. The MV Hydro models are diesel powered water heaters that are suitable for supplying your narrowboat with heating via radiators or matrix heaters to keep you warm in the cold months or via a calorifier for domestic hot water.
