starting a food truck and need a unit that gets to at least 140 degrees. will trhis do it?
1707152
I use it for hot water on a shower. I have not put a thermostat to it, but if you turn the temp all the way up it is scalding hot so I would suspect that it gets hotter than 140.
1707153
I would advise to be careful before purchasing this unit. It requires specialized venting for the exhaust system, hard to find and expensive. Not sure what temp. it reaches, might look at going with an RV style water heater.

It will burn your truck down before it becomes a useful product and companies dont care.
1707155
Yes. That's what I use mine for. You need to turn the gas up and water flow down when the water is colder. If you live in a colder climate make sure to clear the water heater before winter. The copper tubing inside of mine burst over the winter here in Oregon.

this thing will more than do it .........but its no good I had nothing but probs. with it and the company will not back it sooo you are on your own
1707157
Depends on the starting water temp. It will come close but that is super hot. Most health departments only require 110-120.

Make sure you have enough flow volume. Check minimum water flow to turn heater on(min gph to operate)

Michael, I have unfortunatly purchaed 2 of these heaters. One serviced for 3 seasons and it will not work now. the other developed the same problem in 4 months of regular use. I do not think they will make 140 degrees at any rate.I suggest you up size to another unit to met your needs, cheaper is not always better.The good news is I can work on this type of heater and have positive communication with the Marey tech. support for parts.Ric

Yes it will. You can get water super hot by using more propane and less flow. On the other hand you can get warm water by using less propane and higher flow. This unit is made in China and is not high quality, it has very thin metal and is flimsy. If you are careful with it and don't bump it around it should work.

On the winter mode setting and low flow setting the water is extremely hot. Our unit only ran for a short time, however. I'm not sure what failed, perhaps I needed a pre-filter? A downside is that I would have to send the unit to South America for servicing.

I am not sure but I don't think so, we have ours turned way up because my wife likes scalding hot water. A glass of hot water reads 120F with a meat thermometer. I can't touch it without 1st degree burns (takes a week to heal!). You will probably use propane and I use natural gas, I don't know if there is a temperature difference. Call them at 512-560-1147 (for English) or if you speak Spanish 1-877-727-0277

I recommend that you do not use this one...it varies too much in the temperature approx. 5-7 degrees. I have two of these units...works fine for growing mushroom spawn.

you would need to ask the company. I cannot think of a recipe needing temps higher than 500 degrees.......at least none I use

Id say the 150 would be fine. Could also go 200 and it wont have to work as hard. Just my opinion and it will get cold were I live

Unfortunately... no. Because the unit is a HEAT PUMP unit (rather than a STRAIGHT ELECTRIC unit), it can only be used when temperatures are above 45 Degrees Fahrenheit. I learned that the hard way (the manufacturer fails to explain that fact in the instruction manual). You would have to purchase a STRAIGHT ELECTRIC unit in order for the unit to be capable of heating in those types of temperatures. It is best to purchase a 230 volt unit if you need to use it it those types of temperatures. Usually the straight electric 230 volt units provide 7,000 to 12,000 btus of heat per hour.

It will work perfectly. Expect to see at least one line lower on your temperature gauge...because the Ice does wonders for V8 platforms.

Dan, I use the cool bot in my walk in for my farming operation. This thing is amazing and will cool down to that temperature with the right AC unit. More importantly... You have to have a tight building insulation wise if you want that temp. But I love my home made unit.

yes it does get upto 140 degrees. it takes about 45 minutes to get up that high. I have mine in the garage and the outside temperature does not seem to affect it.

The Vornado TVH 500 can reach a temp.of 85 I think you need something bigger

Your gear ratio will depend on how hot it will get. Normal operating temp for that device is 140 to 160 anything above that your going to start asking for problems

If you are using for automotive usr it should be fine. I have mine on a diesel to move extra coolant, and while I can't give you a specific temp, i have seen temp readings over 200 degrees F with no damage to unit.

I replaced this with one that had the actual temperatures. My guess is that A would be 120 degrees - B would be 140 degrees & C - would be 160 degrees. Since I replaced this I tried temps below the A mark 120 degrees & I am currently running just a little higher then the A mark which would probably be about 125 degrees. When setting the Temps I believe you should also match the upper limit switch setting to your lower limit switch . My tank is a 40 gallon tank & like most electric hot water tanks there are 2 thermostats. Upper & Lower.Hope this answerers your Question! Ron

Mike, it is a bad idea to buy this regardless of temperature. IF you get one with adjustment screws you might be able to zero it at the common 25m. If it has no set screws then who knows. Save the money from buying this piece of junk and purchase a better made one.

Assuming you have a HP, the stat will work fine. W2 for the emergency heat connection. You can adjust the offset between stage one and 2 (emergency in your case) from 1 to 9 degrees.

According to the Troubleshooting section of the instruction manual, the unit will not operate satisfactorily if the temperature is below 41 F. I would imagine that all higher temps are okay unless the unit overheats in extreme temperatures, but that was not mentioned. I hope this helps. Rx

Don't thank it goes that cold bud !You could build a box for it and insulate the box I think it goes to 10 degrees !I'll check when I get home and let you know for sure !!

I'm not sure, but when the temp. get into the 80's+ I would think it would put the motor and comp. in trouble trying to keek things cold. I know they make small refrigators for work shops which are made for higher temp's. Best of luck
