General instructions and operating principle
The heater can be used only for the purposes specified in the operation manual.
The built-in fan of the air heater draws air through the air intake opening. The air heated
by the heater is channelled to cabins via outlet channels.
Fuel is supplied by a separate fuel pump from the fuel tank of the vessel or from an
additional fuel tank.
The heater is powered by a battery of the vessel.
Temperature in rooms can be regulated by using a temperature sensor and a control
panel, which sets heating parameters.
When a temperature sensor is installed, the heater is constantly comparing the actual
temperature with the set temperature and automatically adjusts the heating capacity
according to the heat demand.
The heater and its components
must be installed by specialised
organisations
, because the product is complex and consists of a
combustion chamber where fuel is burned, a heat exchanger that supplies
heat resulting from fuel burning, a fuel pump, an air blower, a control unit
controlling the heater according to the programme, etc.
If the heater is handled and/or installed improperly, there is a
possibility
of fire hazard
, because fuel and electrical components are being used.
That is why all safety precautions must be observed.
