The Espar D4R air heater offers the best fuel economy of any Espar diesel heater, and has the power to handle up to 70 feet / 21 meters of ducting thanks to its unique fan shape. It boasts an extended running life of up to 5,000 hours of operation, and can handle both high altitudes and low temperatures with no need for additional wiring. While offering heating output of up to 4kW / 13650 BTU, the Espar D4R Recreational heater is quiet thanks to its brushless fan and improved pump. With thermostatic function, timer and an advanced controller communication system, it is also very easy to operate.
Key features of the Espar D4R Recreational heater kit
- The Espar D4R is an ideal RV heater, offering an heat output of up to 4kW / 13650 BTU and impressive fuel efficiency and cost effectiveness.
- The unique fan on this air heater propels air further through the ducting system than other models. This means it can handle up to 70ft / 21m of ducting and multiple ducting outlets.
- Ducting outlets of 60mm, 75mm and 90mm can be used, and the number of outlets can be varied based on the complexity and specific needs of the ducting system.
- If you have less complex ducting requirements, the Espar Airtronic D4L is a suitable alternative. It has the same functionality as the D4R, but supports a shorter ducting length and fewer outlets.
- The Espar D4R can be run from an external fuel tank, and is the most fuel efficient diesel heater on the market, using just 0.51L of fuel for one hour’s operation at maximum heat output.
- The Espar D4R Recreational heater kit is able to operate in high altitudes when equipped with the EasyStart Pro controller, which we highly recommend. This controller offers automatic altitude adjustment, and with it this Espar diesel heater works at up to 9,900 feet / 3,000 m.
- No additional wiring or installation is required for high altitude operation.
- This diesel heater for RVs and boats can operate in temperatures as low as -46 C / - 50 F.
- Controlling the Espar D4R is easy when using the EasyStart Pro, and includes a timer and thermostatic functionality thanks to its integrated temperature sensor.
- The Espar D4R Recreational heater kit is quieter than previous models because of its new stepless blower system (which reduces clicking noise) and its brushless fan.
- Like most Espar heaters, the D4R features plug and play installation, which means you can install the system yourself with fewer tools required and no need for cable crimping.
- Fuel system installation has also been simplified, with the same line used for the entire installation.
- The Espar D4R Recreational heater kit uses all 3 protocol technologies in the Espar product range - CAN, LIN and S+. As a result, you can use earlier generation controllers with the D4R.
- This is a reliable diesel heater for RVs and boats from a reputable German manufacturer. And if there are any issues, the Espar D4R’s new controller communication systems gives improved accuracy with on screen fault diagnostics.
- Thanks to its brushless fan, this Espar diesel heater has an extended operating life of up to 5,000 hours (compared to 3,000 hours in earlier models).
- For specific RV, van or marine applications, custom kits are available. Contact the Heatso team for a custom kit. We can even calculate ducting rates, suggest outlet options and plan the layout for you (for marine applications).
User benefits of the Espar D4R Recreational heater kit
This Espar diesel heater is an excellent choice for RVs, and for trucks, lorries and semi-trucks which need to heat more cabins. It offers the best fuel efficiency of any Espar diesel heater on the market, requiring just 0.5L of fuel for one hour’s heating at maximum power.
It also offers excellent versatility in terms of installation. With ducting possible up to 70ft / 21m, it is well suited to a wide range of vehicle types and applications. It is two times as powerful as the Espar D2L unit, and smaller than the Espar D5, which means it can offer powerful heating where space is limited (although please note it can be awkward to install under the passenger seat in vans).
Offering high altitude performance when paired with the EasyStart Pro controller, plus reliable heating even in very cold conditions, this is a robust diesel heater that’s engineered to last.
