Product Details & Specifications

Key Features

Heating Compacity

  • Wide Power Range: Available in multiple kilowatt ratings up to 50 kW for large industrial coverage.

Performance

  • Vertical Airflow Design: Discharges warm air downward to eliminate cold zones in high-ceiling buildings.
  • All-Electric Operation: 100% efficient—no combustion, venting, or fuel storage required.
  • Quiet Performance: Precision-balanced fan motor ensures low noise during operation.

Construction

  • Low Maintenance Design: Simple electric operation with no combustion parts to service.
  • Rugged Construction: Heavy-gauge steel cabinet withstands years of commercial or industrial use.
  • Casing: The casing is cleaned and phosphatized before electrostatic application of a baked-on, polyester powder-coat paint.
  • Heating Element: Nickel-chromium wire elements are enclosed in powder-filled aluminum-coated steel tubes to which spiraled fins are permanently fused for maximum heat transfer
  • Safety Fan Guard: Formed from heavy-gauge steel rod stock, the fan guard is attached to the unit heater casing and provides a rigid support for the motor and protection from the exposed fan.
  • Motor/Fan: is a thermally protected, continuous-duty type mounted to the fan guard with rubber vibration-absorbing material. It features a lightweight aluminum propeller fan directly connected to the motor shaft and is statically balanced for optimal performance and low noise.
  • Protective Screen: The aluminum screen protects the heating elements from accidental damage and further enhances the unit heater’s appearance.
  • Corrosion-Resistant Finish: Baked enamel coating provides long-lasting protection.

Additional Features

  • Automatic Reset Overheat Control: In the event of overheating, this control interrupts the power supply to the heating elements. The control automatically resets itself once the heater cools to a safe temperature.
  • Control Compartment: Safely encloses power and control terminal blocks, contactor(s), fuses, and transformer. Terminal blocks provide easy access for field wiring.
  • Motor Heat Shield: Protects the motor from heated air passing through the unit heater.
  • Mounting Flexibility: Ceiling-suspended or beam-mounted for open-space installations.
