The Webasto Air Top Evo 40 is a high-capacity diesel air heater engineered for larger boats up to 45 feet. It represents a significant step up in power and sophistication from the 2000 STC model, making it the preferred choice for owners of medium-to-large yachts and narrowboats who require rapid heating and precise climate control.
Webasto Air Top Evo 40: Powerful and Intelligent Heating
The Air Top Evo 40 delivers a formidable 4kW of heat output while maintaining impressive fuel efficiency. It features intelligent blower control and a multi-mode operation system, allowing the heater to adjust its performance based on the specific needs of the cabin. This results in ultra-quiet operation and a highly stable interior temperature. The Evo 40 is also equipped with an automatic altitude adjustment feature, ensuring reliable performance across various geographic conditions.
A standout feature is the included Webasto MultiControl digital interface, which allows users to program heating schedules, adjust fan speeds, and toggle between heating, ventilation, and “boost” modes with ease.
