INSTALLED HEATING - ELECTRICAIRE

Electricaire - warm air system

Technical Specification

Controllability

A tamperproof cover conceals user controls, located on the front panel. There is a variable input control to adjust the charge acceptance between minimum and maximum to suit changing weather conditions. The user can manually control a quiet two speed fan by selecting either normal or boost fan speeds. A day energy switch enables on-peak energy to provide supplementary warm air delivery when heat in the core is depleted. This facility is only available on the Economy 7 commercial tariff. In commercial applications an external time clock may be fitted to give complete control and ensure fan operation ceases at close of business. Connection to an external thermostat provides additional control by regulating the operation of the fan to maintain comfort conditions.

Heating Element

Kanthal D iron/aluminium alloy sheathed in quartz tubes.

Thermal Insulation

Basic insulation – microporus silica and mineral wool. Air passages and base – moulded Vermiculite.

Supply

Units can be connected to 240V ac single phase or 415V ac three phase. Units may operate on all cheap rate tariffs. Connection of main supply is via DIN connectors complete with linking bars to enable single phase / three phase choice to be made on site. Internal wiring incorporates a plug-in linking block to allow different wiring/tariff options to be selected on site. Every unit is therefore capable of being wired on site to cover the following configurations:

1. Single phase Economy 7 (white meter)

2. Single phase standard off-peak

3. Three phase Economy 7 (white meter)

4. Three phase standard off-peak

Cabinet

0.8mm zinc coated mild steel finish with polyester/epoxy powder coated paint.

Air Filter

A washable polyester filter is located in the detachable filter frame at the front of the unit. All live and moving parts are completely screened by a fixed mesh when the filter is removed.

Plenum Chamber Kit (PLEN/12)

For all new installations a Plenum Chamber Kit will be required at extra cost. Complete with 3 air register grilles, this additional component measures 625mm x 600mm (including flanges) with a height of 303mm.

Ducting

In addition to stand-alone use, Electricaire can also be used with ducting dependant on installation
