UHA STANDARD UNIT HEATER INSTALLATION OPERATION AND SERVICE MANUAL

SECTION 3: CRITICAL CONSIDERATIONS 3.1 Basic Information

UHA[X][S] heaters have automatic ignition burners for ON/OFF operation only.

3.2 Manufactured Units

Gas-fired, power-vented unit heater with tubular heat exchanger. Units shall have a minimum of 82% thermal efficiency. The standard unit shall consist of

anon-separated combustion design with an aluminized heat exchanger. Design and heat exchanger alternatives shall be offered as follows:

•Separated Combustion: A separated combustion unit shall feature an enclosed, sealed burner box. A piece of flexible air duct connects this burner box to a flange on the cabinet. Combustion air should be ducted from outside the heated space, with the ductwork connecting to the unit with the use of the flange.

•Stainless Steel Heat Exchanger: A stainless steel heat exchanger unit shall consist of heat exchanger tubes, heat exchanger tube supports, heat exchanger tube plates and vent box produced of 409 stainless steel.

The use of stainless steel heat exchanger unit is recommended when air inlet temperatures are below 40° F (4.4°C) or temperature rise is less than 40° F (22.2° C) as condensation may form on the heat exchanger resulting in corriosion that may shorten its life.

3.3Location and Suspension All models:

• Must be installed indoors.

•Must be installed in a level position with horizontal discharge.

•May be mounted on a shelf of non-combustible material.

•May be suspended from above (See Page 10, Figure 5) or from wall brackets of sufficient strength to support the heater as listed in the Technical Data Table on Page 49, Section 16.2. Drop rods must be a minimum of 3/8" diameter mild steel. Four suspension points (3/8" nuts) are located on top of the heater.

•Must be installed in a manner which allows access to all serviceable components. See Page 7, Figure 4 for details.

3.4 Minimum Required Installation Clearances

Clearances around the heater and vent must be as indicated on Page 7, Figure 4 and Page 13, Figure 6 to ensure access for servicing and correct operation.

3.5 Ventilation

It is important to ensure that there is adequate air space around the heater to supply air for combustion, ventilation and distribution in accordance with local and national codes on Page 11, Section 7.

3.6 Gas Supply

It is important that the gas supply pipe is sized correctly to provide the inlet pressure as stated on the heater data plate. The gas supply pipe and electrical connections must not support any of the heater's weight on Page 19, Section 9.

3.7 Electrical Supply

A permanent 120 V / 60 Hz / 1 Ø electrical supply is required for the main electrical power. The heater also requires suitable controls in accordance with See Page 21, Section 10.

3.8 Vent

Choose heater orientation to allow for the proper location of the vent. Each heater must be fitted with a correctly sized sealed vent system.

If vented horizontally, no other appliance may be connected to the vent. See Page 11, Section 7.

The Roberts Gorden 250 model is specifically designed for smaller spaces, offering compact efficiency without sacrificing power. It features an adjustable output, allowing for tailored heating based on specific requirements. The advanced burner technology ensures optimum combustion efficiency, translating to cost savings on fuel consumption.

Moving on to the Roberts Gorden 300, this unit is well-suited for medium-sized facilities. With enhanced capabilities, the 300 model offers improved heating distribution, making it ideal for warehouses and production floors. The ease of installation and maintenance further enhances its appeal, allowing businesses to focus on their operations rather than on complicated heating systems.

The Roberts Gorden 400 is a powerhouse in the lineup, engineered for larger spaces that demand high-performance heating. Its robust construction and powerful output provide effective warmth even in challenging environments. The unit is equipped with sophisticated controls that promote energy efficiency while maintaining optimum comfort levels.

In the mid-range spectrum, the Roberts Gorden 150 and 225 models cater to businesses needing versatile heating solutions. Both models are designed with user-friendly interfaces and include safety features that comply with industry standards. Their lightweight design allows for easy installation and mobility, making them suitable for temporary or permanent heating applications.

Overall, Roberts Gorden's commitment to innovation and efficiency is evident across its product range. With a focus on sustainability and advanced heating technologies, the Roberts Gorden 250, 300, 400, 150, and 225 models provide reliable heating solutions that meet the diverse preferences of industrial and commercial users. These products are not just about warmth; they are about creating a comfortable and productive environment while minimizing energy costs and environmental impact.
