The new cabinet models are claimed to be exceptionally quiet and clean in operation, economical to run and designed to conform to the standards of safety and construction laid down by BS 4256 part 2.
Specific features common to both models Include seven-day time clocks, heat-insulated casings, flue-draught stabilizers, fully enclosed burners, swivelling louvred air outlets for freeblowing versions and flexible oil-feed lines. Optional extras include thermostats, air inlet filters and safety fire valves.
The smaller of the two, the Tropical SX100 heater, has a heat capacity of 100,000 Btu/hr (30kW) with a fan output of 1080 cu ft per min. It gives a temperature rise of 85deg F (48deg C) and has a fuel consumption of 7.5 lb/hr (3.4kg/hr.). Corresponding figures for the larger model, the SX250, are 250,000 Btu/hr (74kW), 2800 Cu ft/min, 813deg F (48deg C) and 17,2 lb/hr (7.8 kg/hr).
