•
Do not connect the heater to an air duct, as this has a negative effect on the performance
of the heater.
•
Due to the presence of CO2 and the noise levels produced, you must obtain permission
from the safety and health service before taking a heater into use that is to be placed
•
Minimal ventilation requirements 1000m3/h for each 100kW installed power.
•
In case of a malfunction, ensure the heater is free of electricity by removing the plug from
the socket outlet, in order to prevent damage to the heater.
2.6 Water and chemical substances
Observe the following measures if water or chemical substances that could be dangerous to
people, animals, and/or crops are used in the space where the heater has been placed:
•
Switch off the heater.
•
Make sure the heater cannot be started automatically by removing the plug from the
socket outlet.
•
Close the fuel tap.
•
Cover the heater.
2.7 Use in a greenhouse
Observe the following additional measures when using the heater in a greenhouse:
•
The CO2 level should not exceed 1% (10,000 ppm).
•
In completely enclosed greenhouses there must be at least 1000m3/h for each 100kW
installed power.and external atmospheric protection.
•
There must be at least two openings in the space to ensure adequate circulation of air if
no artificial ventilation is present.
•
Use the heater preferably in combination with one or more exhaust fans and a CO2 meter
•
Do not use any sulphurous fuels in the space where the heater has been placed, as these
contain high amounts of sulphur that could be harmful.
2.8 Use in a poultry shed
When cleaning and disinfecting a poultry shed in which a heater has been placed, or when
spreading sawdust, the following precautions should be taken. Failure to take these precautions
will give rise to a risk of explosion or fire.
Take the following into account when using the heater in a poultry shed:
•
The CO2 content must not exceed 0.3% (3,000 ppm).
•
If no artificial ventilation is provided, there must be at least two openings in the space to
ensure sufficient circulation of air.
•
Cover or remove the heater when cleaning or disinfecting the poultry shed.
•
When spreading sawdust the heater must be covered to prevent sawdust particles from
entering the heater and creating a fire hazard. Also make sure that the heater cannot be
started automatically by removing the plug from the socket outlet. Also close the fuel
valve.
•
Clean the heater after every poultry shed clean-out to prevent the heater from becoming
dirty.
•
Do not use water when cleaning the heater

Introduction DXB heater
The DX Heater is a direct fired heater designed specifically for greenhouses and poultry sheds.
The device is placed in the enclosed space itself, which means that the heater displaces air only
and uses a small amount of energy to warm and ventilate the space. The large air capacity and
the unique shape of the heater also ensure that the device can distribute the air within the
space in the best possible manner.
The heater's design is aimed at straightforward installation, maintenance and safe use.
Ignition and combustion for example are controlled automatically and parts are easily accessible
for cleaning and maintenance.
