Manual Storage Heater TTS with electronic control
GB
Design and Construction
TTS heaters are an assembly of 6 primary elements:
1.
Case
- The attractively designed steel case is finished with a high degree of
craftsmanship. All surfaces painted with a neutral off-white baked enamel. This case is
very strong and provides the base upon which all other components are supported.
2.
Thermal Insulation
- The thermal insulation within the heater provides a key function in
the heaters' design and is a combination of Vermiculite panels and a micro porous type
ceramic material. The result is the ability to store heat within the brick core at
temperatures reaching 675°C (1250°F) and yet provide surface temperatures on the
case which are typically below 75°C (165°F).
3.
Storage Core
- The actual heat storage device is an assembled core made up of
refractory bricks of feolite material, approx. 6 kg (13 lbs) each.
The bricks are identical and are delivered in packs of 2’s and 3’s (see Technical Data,
page 14).
The bricks are moulded, high temperature fired and specifically formulated to provide the
highest specific heat and thermal conductivity for the maximum efficiency as a storage
core.
4.
Heating Elements
- The electric heating elements are a metal sheath, rod type made of
the finest materials proven in millions of installations over the past 20 years. This
element placed within the special shaped storage bricks, provides for rapid heat
recovery and an even application of heat to the storage core.
5.
Charge Controls
- TTS heaters are equipped with two separate thermostat controls, the
first is the "Manual" charge thermostat which can be fitted with a control knob at the front
of the heater. This control is used to manually set the temperature level that the heater
storage core will be charged to during each charge period, and thus the amount of heat
stored. The second charge control is a fixed setting "Safety" or high temperature limit
thermostat which will shut the heater off if the other controls fail to limit the maximum
temperatures.
6.
Fan Assembly
- The TTS heater utilizes a low-volume, slow speed fan to push heat
from the storage core when the wall thermostat signals the need for heat in the room.
The fan assembly also includes the discharge air mixing valve used to keep the output
air temperature at a safe and comfortable level. TTS heater fans are nearly silent in
normal operation and should not cause concern even in bedroom applications.
