Fan Heater

The fan heater is built with a broad foot for stability when operating on the floor. Suspension hooks enable the fan to be hung in a position and a convenient carrying handle for easy movement.

The fan and heater elements are enclosed in an 18swg galvanised rolled steel casing which is fully guarded. An overheat cutout switch, set at 55 degrees C, gives complete electrical protection to the elements when wired into the heater contactor control circuit.

Hook bolts fitted to the fan heater provide a convenient means of suspending the unit in the building and 510mm (20”) diameter plastic ducting is available to spread the warmed air along the roof line as required.

A large external terminal box allow easy connection of the mains power supply cable to screw terminals. If required the fan motor can be run independent of the heater element.

Heater elements are available in 240v single phase –6kW only, and 415v 3-phase 6, 10 and 15kW.

The heavy duty plastic impeller delivers approximately 2000 cfm in the 6kW unit and 2500 cfm in the 10kW and 15kW units.

Fan Heater with On Board Digital Thermostat Control

A version of our standard Fan Heater can be supplied with an "On Board" control box incorporating a digital readout electronic control thermostat. This heater can be run direct from a 5 pin 415v socket outlet (16 or 32amps dependant on heater kw)

The control temperature sensor can either be mounted on the heater itself in the return air stream or alternatively positioned away from the heater (using an extension cable) if required.

The control box also enables the fan only to be run manually if so desired.

The control temperature required can easily be entered via the keypad on the digital thermostat unit.

The heater still incorporates the manual reset "Safety Overheat Cut Out" which will automatically cut off the heater in the event of a fan motor failure etc.

The heater can be operated as a free blow or used in conjunction with optional Perforated Polythene Ducting to improve warm air distribution within a long building.
