Air circulation
carpets, check that they do not prevent air supply to the convectors. It is also important that curtains,
cushions and blankets do not prevent air circulation behind seatback cushions and wall cabinets.
Air gap shape
Air gaps between walls and furniture must have a sealed, smooth surface on both sides, narrower at
-
must be unobstructed and have a gap of at least 40 mm. Air gaps in wall cabinets must be at least
Venting (exhaust)
Venting nipples must be positioned carefully to facilitate venting of the system.
Because of the complexity of a system with dual zones, this aspect is extra important.
from the system. For a dual-zone system, it is important that venting nipples are located in both zones.
Number of convectors
vehicle length by 1.5.
Example: If the vehicle is 6 metres, a total of 9 metres of convectors is required. But this is only a rule
of thumb. To be sure of the right result, a cold chamber test is required, as there are many factors that
Placement, convectors
Convectors should be evenly distributed around the vehicle. Locate them between outer walls and fur-
A one-metre convector equates to approx. 400 W; if one convector is placed above another, the output
Example: If two one-metre convectors are placed on top of each other, you will get around 400 W +
200 W (total approx. 600 W).
