Alde Compact 3030

Quiet, pleasant heat

The Alde uses radiant, hydronic central heating to create silent, gentle air movements that fill an RV with pleasant warmth and natural humidity. The boiler is powered by propane and electricity, and the system is filled with warm glycol, which heats the air via convectors.

Highlights

Silent Warmth and Natural Humidity

Truma’s sister brand, Alde, was founded in 1949 and is a leader in hydronic heating systems for RVs. Based in Sweden, Alde works with Truma in North America to offer a selection of premier products like two-in-one heating and hot water systems, heated towel rails, and in-floor heating for RV manufacturers based in the U.S. and Canada.

The Alde uses radiant, hydronic central heating to create silent, gentle air movements that fill an RV with pleasant warmth and natural humidity. The boiler is powered by propane and electricity, and the system is filled with warm glycol, which heats the air via convectors. The natural convection is based on the principle that heated air rises to the ceiling and flows downward again as it cools.

  • Potential for a 2-zone system (must be supplemented with an option card to control multiple circulation pumps)
  • Larger water heater that now holds 10 liters
  • Modern interface in the control panel for ease-of-use
  • Upgraded climate technology (Alde’s ICT), which provides smooth, effective temperature transitions

Natural Convection, Luxury Comfort

Alde relies on natural convection, the simple principle that warm air moves upwards. When the heated air rises from the strategically placed vents and reaches the ceiling, it circulates back down towards the floor as it cools and reheats. The circulating air warms furniture and surfaces, creating a barrier in front of windows to keep the cold at bay.

Extend Your Comfort with Routine Maintenance

All Alde Hydronic Heating systems rely on glycol as the heating fluid that keeps your RV comfortably warm. Glycol also protects against corrosion and bacteria growth. To maintain these benefits, glycol must be replaced every two years. Schedule your glycol exchange with a Truma Service Center today!
