BBHD12-277 Heater

What size space can be treated with a BBHD12-277 Heater?
Treatment times will vary depending on the type of construction and the conditions of the
treatment area, the objects in the treatment area, and the voltage supplied to the unit.
Our testing was in a 256 square foot chamber with 8 foot ceilings constructed of
Styrofoam (R-10 insulation).
How long will a treatment take?
Treatment must be long enough to ensure that the bugs and eggs are subjected to lethal
temperatures and times. This means that after the initial rise to desired temperature, that
there will be a period of time where that high temperature is maintained to allow the heat
to penetrate any objects being treated. This would likely be several hours, but will depend
largely on how quickly the objects being treated absorb heat. Spacing out the objects in
the treatment area and circulating the heat will aid in the objects absorbing heat from the
air.
Why is it taking so long to heat the area?
There are many factors that affect heating times. They include size of the area, voltage
levels in the building and construction of the space. Please see Heating Time Section in
the owner's manual. Heating times can be decreased by adding insulation or covering
doors, windows, vents, etc.
Where can I use a BBHD12 Heater?
The unit must have adequate power supply (refer to the spec sheet or quote for voltage,
amperage, and power consumption). Supplying voltages other than those listed may
result in decreased performance. The unit must be powered such that it is grounded and
the power supply must be fused and grounded. The unit is rated for indoor use only.
Should I keep the heater inside the heated area?
The heater will work best if the heater is kept inside the area being heated.
What should the differential be?
We suggest 2 degrees.
