Clearances
A minimum of 500mm upstream and downstream must be allowed for, due to the
radiant heat. Filters must be fireproof, if fitted and a motor shield is required over
the main supply fan motor if directly in front of the heater.
When installing the heater, minimum clearance is required around the heater.
If the heater is to be fitted at a height, then the structure of the gantry must be
capable of the heaters weight (which can be found in section 4, table 1), also a safe
working platform and access must be allowed for; to enable easy and safe working
access.
Note: The front of the heater is the side on which the burner is fastened.
When designing a system, allowance must be made so equipment can be serviced
after installation and for the fitting of any spares, which may be required. The
BMG is designed to be installed within an Air Handling Unit or ductwork.
The appliance is designed to work in a maximum ambient temperature of 40°c.
The Air Heaters are mounted direct on the floor and do not need any fixing. The
base on which the heater is positioned should not be less than 150mm (6 inches)
thick and must be constructed of non-combustible material.
Any combustible material adjacent to the heater and the flue system must be
placed or shielded as to ensure that its temperature does not exceed 65ºC.
WARNING!
No air heater shall be installed where there is a foreseeable risk of flammable
particles, gases, vapours or corrosion inducing gases or vapours being drawn
into either the heated air stream or the air for combustion. In such cases
installation may only proceed if the air to be heated and the air for
combustion are ducted to the heater from an uncontaminated source,
preferably outside the building.
If this heater is to be suspended then weight in table 1 in section 4 must be taken
into account.
