Natural heat circulation
Self convection technology. The hydronic heating has long-lasting heat and the system with convectors creates self-convection in the vehicle. The warm air circulates and spreads in every cubic centimetre of the vehicle.
Adaptable
With the Alde hydronic heating system you can adapt the system to the size of the vehicle and get heat distributed everywhere in the vehicle. Hot fluid keeps the heat for long and self-convection makes the heat circulate by the use of nature laws. It gives me total comfort in all areas of the van with no cold spots.
Even heat from floor to ceiling
Self-convection technology and constructed system creates a on-going gentle circulation of heat from the walls, to the indoor ceiling, centre of the vehicle and back again. A hydronic heating system is built for circulation of heat to all areas of the vehicle.
Tested in toughest conditions
The components and the system are developed to work in really tough climate. It goes through rigours cold chamber testing down to -35 °C. The system is reliable and constructed to deliver heating comfort i all types of weather.
Made in Sweden
Alde launched its first heating system in 1966 and ever since then we have continuously developed and improve every single part of the system. The Alde system is reliable, efficient and provides a premium heating solution.
Flexible energy sourcing
The Alde system can run on LPG or electricity or a combination of both. You can easily choose or prioritise your energy source so that it fits with what energy source you have available. No matter where you travel you can always power your Alde heating system.
A system with discretion
The pipes and convectors in an Alde Hydronic heating system is placed along the walls behind furniture, cabinets etc. The pipes are made out of 16/22 millimeter aluminum pipes which makes it easy to make the installation sit tight to the walls. The Alde system is is made to be discrete and work without being obtrusive.
Heating that lasts for longer
Water retains heat 20 times longer than air. The Alde boiler heats up a liquid mixture of water and glycol that circulates quietly via convectors around the entire vehicle and gives you long-lasting and pleasant warmth.
So when you are thinking about a heating system, it is obvious to choose a hydronic heating system from Alde.
Preheats vehicle engine
The Alde Engine Heat Exchanger is plumbed into both the Alde hydronic heating system and the engine’s radiator but the two fluids don’t mix. This means that you can use the Alde heating to preheat the vehicle engine by having the alde heating system fluid circulate through the heat exchanger where it heats up preheats the engine´s radiator loop.
You can use the heat from the heating system to preheat the vehicle engine ahead of your next trip.

Alde AquaClear UV-C provides a layer of safety to the water supply, focused on removing harmful viruses and bacteria.
Underfloor heating for everyone on the trip
Alde thinks of the whole family. A warm floor becomes a comfortable place to rest for the family’s four-legged friends, and the calm, natural air movements do not cause animal hair to swirl around either.
Creates a “cold-barrier”
The circulating air heats furniture and walls as well as forming a cold barrier in front of the windows. An all-enveloping heat and natural air flow which produces an even and barely noticeable heat distribution throughout the vehicle. Thanks to pipes and convectors placed onto the walls and under windows.
Pets best friend
Self convenction technology circulates the heated air and no fans placed along the floor and in the centre of the vehicle. Pets can comfortable rest lying on the floor and does not get irritated by fans that blow air all the time. Natural air movements don’t make animal hair fly around either.

Even though it is cold and rough outside you don’t feel it inside, as the system solution with pipes and convectors behind the back of sofa or under the bed creates a barrier against the cold outdoors.
No cold feet
Floor heating provides heat from top to bottom (or from bottom to top). The floor in a vehicle can sometimes be colder due to less insulation or cross section of cold air from ventilation. With hydronic underfloor heating you get a heat barrier also at floor level.
Unobtrusive in small vehicles
Hydronic heating system can be tailored also for the smallest of vehicles. Nature takes care of the circulation which means that no fans are needed to transport heat throughout the vehicle. The heat circulation does not overthrow you and instead you get gentle and quiet heating. It simply becomes a feeling of comfort.
