COMPACTNESS combined with very light weight, facilitating easy installation, are features of the latest range of Econheat suspended-type oil-fired air heaters designed for use in factories, garages, and so on.
The new heaters are available with capacities of 100,000, 150,000 and 200,000 BTU/hr. They are for heating buildings of all types up to 25,000 Cu. ft.
As the weight has been kept down they can be mounted on roof beams without overstressing them. Weights of the complete units vary between 250 and 2651b according to output.
Careful arrangement of the burner, stainless steel combustion chamber, heat exchanger, and 1 h.p. blower motor gives a compact unit, relative to output capacity. Dimensions are 3ft 6in length, 1 ft 10in width and 2ft 11 in height.
Safety devices incorporated include a photo-electric cell to ensure that oil supply to the burner is cut off in the event of flame failure, a thermostat to protect the unit itself, switching off the burner in the event of overheating or component failure and a built-in fire valve to cut off oil supply in case of fire.
Operating controls are simple: a remotely mounted on-off switch ignites the burner and brings the heater into automatic operation. There is provision for full thermostatic control of the unit.
