Introduction / Webasto

The Webasto marine water heater

- Heating water to heat living environment and domestic hot water in yachts.

- The water is heated by a diesel burning combustion engine.

- Two different engines.

- A buffertank is placed separately.

Introduction / Product

Introduction / Product

Restrictions

- Keep it operating quiet

- Keep multiple capacities available

- Keep hot domestic hot water option possible

- Maintain Webasto engine, with the need of servicing

Introduction / Project

Problems

- Bad market share

- Competitors are cheaper

- Unreliable reputation

- Underdeveloped looks

- Non-uniform platform

So

- Create a uniform platform for both engines

- Restyle current waterstations

- Make it better ordened/understandable

- Make them function easier

- Make the installation easier

- Increase market/share

Short evaluation of result

- Clarifying installation, better ordened

- Multiple options for mounting water station

- Uniform platform for multiple capacities

- Consistently restyled product

- Less maintenance because of buffer size

- Simultaniously feed central heating and domestic hot water

- Production costs slightly higher
