3 Main requirements of installation of assemblies and units of the heater
Heater can be installed both inside, and outside of the vehicle. Install the heater in a
dry place that is protected from ingress of water and condensate, dirt, excessive vibrations
and heat emissions, engine emissions or fuel or oil contamination.
Installing the heater on a maritime transport it must be protected from
ingress of overboard water.
Consider the maximum heel of the vessel. A heel must not bring overboard
water into the discharge channel for exhaust gases, and bilge or overboard
water must not get on the heater.
Installing the heater in a cargo hold of the vehicle, install the heater at a
height and location that prevents contact with cargo and in a way that the
cargo would not obstruct the intake/outlet of the heater.
The heater must be installed following safety requirements and taking into account the
type of vehicle or vessel. Consider everything related to peripheral equipment, for example,
the maximum permissible length of the exhaust gas channel and intake of air for
combustion, the location of the passage in the board (for maritime transport), the layout and
length of electric wires, distance from the fuel tank, layout of air ducts of warm air, intake
of fresh air.
All precautions must be observed when installing the heater to reduce the risk of
injuries to personnel or damage to the equipment as much as possible.
