Design and Construc� on
The heaters are an assembly of 6 primary elements:
1.
Case
- The a� rac� vely designed steel case is fi nished with a high degree of cra� smanship. All sur-
faces 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 Insula� on
- The thermal insula� on within the heater provides a key func� on in the hea-
ters‘ design and is a combina� on 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 iden� cal and are delivered in packs of 2’s
and 3’s. The bricks are moulded, high temperature fi red and specifi cally formulated to provide the
highest specifi c heat and thermal conduc� vity for the maximum effi ciency as a storage core.
4. Hea� ng Elements
- The electric hea� ng elements are a metal sheath, rod type made of the fi nest
materials proven in millions of installa� ons over the past 20 years. This element placed within the
special shaped storage bricks, provides for rapid heat recovery and an even applica� on of heat to
the storage core.
5. Charge Controls
- Our heaters are equipped with two separate thermostat controls, the fi rst is the
„Manual“ charge thermostat which can be fi � ed 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 fi -
xed se� ng „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 heater u� lizes 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. Our heater fans are nearly silent in normal opera� on and should not cause concern even in
bedroom applica� ons.
