Hybrid 3 - Combined heating and hot water
"Hybrid 3" – comfortable warmth with a small footprint
Double heating power ahead: The hybrid combination of a diesel-powered air heater from Webasto and a gas boiler from Whale has been available for motorhomes for some time. Now a smaller version for motorhomes is ready for market launch. "Hybrid 3" is the name of the combination of the Air Top 2000 STC space heater and the Whale Expanse water heater , which offers a total heating capacity of 3.35 kilowatts. As Webasto is the exclusive sales partner for Whale products in continental Europe, the hybrid solution comes "from a single source". The units can be flexibly positioned inside the vehicle, including floor installation, without taking up any valuable storage space. The air distribution ducts have also been reduced to just 60 millimeters in diameter for motorhome installation. The boiler is optionally available for operation with gas only or with additional electric heating; both variants meet the requirements of the EU Drinking Water Directive.
By combining the units from Webasto and Whale, simultaneous heating and showering are possible with only minimal heating times, as both units each provide 100 percent of their heating output for either room heating or hot water production. Using the diesel-powered space heater means that the gas bottles can be smaller, which in turn saves valuable space and weight. The air heater can be operated with various control units, including the practical Webasto Thermo Connect app.
Low consumption Freeline Slim 70 and 90 refrigerators
Webasto has also developed two new cooling models for space-saving integration into motorhomes and camper vans. The Freeline Slim 70 with a total gross volume of 70 liters offers plenty of space for food and drinks, of which 12 liters are used as a freezer. The larger Freeline Slim 90 has an 11-liter freezer compartment and a total gross volume of 90 liters. With their dimensions of 420x821x450 and 420x975x485 millimeters (WxHxD), the two cooling units are very slim and are particularly well suited for shorter vehicles. The use of the latest highly efficient nano-compressor technology in combination with the environmentally friendly refrigerant R600a guarantees extremely low power consumption at 290 Wh/24h and 340 Wh/24h. Both cooling units are operated via a digital control panel, which can be used to select various additional functions such as noise-reduced night operation and energy-saving mode.
It is unclear if and when we will see these refrigerators in Sweden, but we are keeping our fingers crossed that they will be available soon.
