24 VDC appliances?
I agree. We actually will have the Spectra watermaker and these are extremely
efficient. I owned one for 5 years on a 31ft boat and with 5 people 2 120W solar batteries are able to maintain it to provide enough water daily. If we use spectra, the watermaker will consume approx the same amount of kwh as the fridge. We will have the generator as well M "Wayne.B" wrote: On Sun, 11 Jan 2004 22:34:28 GMT, misia wrote: I agree electric heater might be the most energy hungry element, especially if the water has to be retained and temperature maintained in the tank for 10 people onboard. ================================================== ==== To cruise with 10 people in the tropics, you're going to need a water maker and lots of power. You might as well spring for a decent sized generator with 110/220 volt power and not worry about finding 24 volt appliances or stove fuel. |
