Installation of the unit
Area of application
REMKO GPM series gas wall
heaters are used for heating small
areas such as workshops up to
large areas such as industrial halls,
sports facilities, etc.
For economical heating, correct
calculation of the heat demand for
the required heat output for the
room is essential.
General preconditions
For installation of the units,
the local and country-specific
regulations and directives in the
latest version must generally be
observed.
The following work such as:
■ gas and electrical installation
■ change of gas type
■ commissioning
■ adjustment or maintenance
must only be carried out by
qualified specialists.
In addition to perfect electrical gas
installation, this ensures that all
necessary measurements and tests
are also carried out.
■ The units must be tested at
least once a year by authorised
specialists.
The units can constitute a hazard
if not installed and operated
correctly. Prior to planning and
installation of the units, the
following must be observed
■ The units must be installed and
operated so that there is no risk
to persons due to exhaust fumes
and radiated heat and fires
cannot occur
■ For installation of the units,
it must be ensured that the
discharging hot air has no
damaging effects on the
environment
■ Fire hazards must be prevented
depending on the materials of
the installation and mounting
surfaces. See TRGI, Section
5.1.3.3
■ Wall or ceilings intended for
mounting purposes must consist
of flame retardant materials.
Their load-bearing capacity must
be verified, reinforcements must
be provided if necessary
■ Brackets must be securely
anchored to walls or ceilings and
the units fastened to the same
at the points provided at the
factory
■ Adequate maintenance options
for the heat exchanger, burner,
fan and chimney duct must be
provided
■ Operating devices for the unit
and fuel supply must be able to
be operated from ground level.
Maintenance and repair options
must be provided by the
operator
It is recommended to conclude
a maintenance agreement with
the specialised company for this
purpose
■ For planning and installation of
the chimney duct, the structural
possibilities and pertinent local
and country-specific regulations
must always be observed
■ In environments subject to
heavy fouling, cleaning and
maintenance must be carried
out depending on the respective
conditions.
In these cases, the combustion
air must always be supplied
from the outside
Selecting the site of
installation
For selecting the site of installation,
account must be taken of the
requirements with respect to:
■ Fire protection and operational
risk
■ Function:
Room heating, low pressure
and excess pressure in the
installation room, etc
■ Operating requirements,
heat demand, nominal air
volume flow, circulation air
requirements, humidity, room
temperature, air distribution,
space requirement
■ Mounting, repair and
maintenance options.
The units must be mounted so
that they are easily accessible
at all times for repairs and
maintenance
The units must not be installed
in rooms with an explosive or
corrosive atmosphere!
