Section 5, Installing Fan Heaters

ITR can suggest optimal fan locations if you provide a floor plan of your coach or yacht.

to be heated) and duct the heated air to its output location. Also, air outlet plates to allow you to install ducting for one, two or three separate outlets (e.g. you can use one fan to heat two different areas by installing a dual air outlet plate).

5.3What NOT to Do

•Don’t install more fans that require more heat than the Heating and Distribution Module can produce. Your system will not run effectively. (If you choose to use a higher-draw fan motor (more than 5 amps), install a relay to handle the extra load; see Figure 5-3: Installing a Relay for Additional Fan Amperage.)

•Don’t mount the return air outlet too close to the fan’s air intake source.

5.4Mounting Locations

Carefully choose the mounting locations of your fans:

•Locate the fans to evenly heat the zone.

•Provision must be made to protect water lines from freezing.

•Install fan at floor level or very near floor level, in order to optimize circulation.

•Allow a minimum 16 square inch (100 cm sq.) opening in the fan heaters’ mounting compartment to allow sufficient intake of air.

ITR’s Spacesaver fan (pictured at left) has two stainless steel mounting brackets welded to the side of the case. It is designed to be mounted horizontally on a flat surface. This fan can also be ordered with a right-hand or left-hand hose configuration.

ITR’s standard cabin heater fan comes with loose stainless steel brackets. The fan can be mounted on the floor or on the wall, either flat or on its side.
