SECTION 6: DUCT HEATER INSTALLATION

SECTION 6: DUCT HEATER INSTALLATION 6.1 General

To connect the inlet and outlet ducts to the heater, Duct-Mate or similar flanges may be slid over the duct connector flanges supplied on the unit and secured with screws. The connection to the duct then can be made using the Duct-Mate clips. The ducts must have removable access panels upstream and downstream of the heater. These panels must be of appropriate size and placement so that smoke or reflected light could be observed to indicate the presence of leaks in the heat exchanger. Covers for these openings should be sealed to prevent leakage.

Any transition into the inlet of the heater should be smooth, with a taper of no more than 15 degrees. If elbows are required, they should be of either broad radius or fitted with properly designed air turns.

Consult a professional to ensure air turns are properly designed.

The heater must be installed on the positive pressure side of the circulating air blower. Air flow through the heater must be as shown on Page 9, Figure 4 and may not be reversed. The air flow must be adjusted such that it is within the acceptable range shown on Page 9, Section 6.1.3. The

minimum inlet duct lengths shown on Page 9, Section 6.1.1 should be observed. Pressure drop through the heat exchanger at various air flows is given on Page 9, Section 6.1.2.
