The Autoterm Flow 5 (formerly the Binar 5S) is a powerful and compact 5kW diesel liquid heater designed to provide efficient hydronic heating for boats and vehicles. It is an ideal solution for owners looking to heat their domestic water, run a series of radiators, or pre-heat an engine in cold marine environments.

Autoterm Flow 5: Advanced Hydronic Heating

With a robust 5kW heat output, the Flow 5 circulates heated coolant through a closed-loop system. This versatility allows it to serve multiple functions simultaneously:

  • Domestic Hot Water: By connecting to a calorifier, it provides a reliable supply of hot water for showers and galleys.
  • Central Heating: It can power a network of radiators or blower boxes to ensure even warmth throughout the vessel.
  • Engine Pre-heating: In extreme conditions, it can be used to warm the engine block, reducing wear and ensuring a smooth start.

The Flow 5 is renowned for its exceptional build quality, low fuel consumption, and quiet operation. The basic kit includes high-quality components such as a silent fuel pump, air intake silencer, and a mounting bracket with shock absorbers to minimise vibration.

Professional OFTEC-Trained Installation

Installing a hydronic diesel system requires expertise in both liquid plumbing and forced-draft diesel combustion. At Marine Heating Solutions, our engineers are OFTEC-trained and specialise in Autoterm Flow 5 installations. We ensure that all exhaust routing, fuel lines, and coolant loops meet the strict requirements of the Boat Safety Scheme (BSS).

Upon completion, we provide a Boat Diesel & Oil Appliance Certificate, which is essential for insurance compliance. For full technical specifications and user manuals, you can access the official Autoterm Flow 5 documentation or consult the OFTEC safety guide for liquid fuel appliances.
