FT-C Vertical Electric Thermal Fluid Heater Manual 12 2013 ISSUE 1
Reference should be made to to ascertain the relevant dimensions and weights.
a) Authorities with jurisdiction over any national or local codes which might be applicable to
thermal uid applications should be consulted before installations are made.
b) The heater should be located as close as possible to the place where the heat will be used in
order to keep pipe work costs to a minimum.
c) A level, hard, non-combustible surface is required for a suitable base for mounting the unit. It is
suggested that a 100 mm curb be installed completely around the unit. In the event of a large
spill, this will help contain the uid.
d) Approximations for the oor loading of each heater can be calculated using the weights given in
section 5.1. Check building specications for permissible oor loading.
e) The heater should be placed in a suitable heater house or well ventilated separate room through
which personnel do not normally pass. This is not essential, but the layout should eliminate
trafc in potentially hazardous areas. For instance, the service engineer or the operator should
not have to pass exposed, hot pipe work to make adjustments to the heater controls.
f) Ventilation must be sufcient to maintain a building temperature of 38°C or less and the panel
box temperature must not exceed 52°C. Natural ventilation should be provided by means of
grilles at oor and ceiling level.
g) To burn fuel properly, the burner must have an adequate supply of air.
See Technical Information sheet for the heater for minimum make up air required and the
recommended area of opening for each heater.
If positive forced ventilation is adopted, you must ensure that there will be no appreciable
pressure variation in the heater room.
