Unit layout
Operating range
Modular systems can be created
with the GPM-series gas wall
heaters.
Modular systems consist of one
or multiple fan-assisted air heaters
in order to heat small spaces like
workshops to larger spaces like
industrial halls, churches, sports
facilities, etc..
Therefore it is necessary to
determine the necessary heat
output by calculating the heat
requirement.
General requirements
With the installation of the units,
the local and country-specific
provisions and guidelines must be
observed in the respective valid
version as a basic rule.
Work such as:
■ gas and electrical installation
■ conversion of the gas type
■ commissioning
■ adjustments or maintenance
may only be carried out by
qualified technicians
In addition to a faultless electrical
and gas installation, it is also
ensured through this measure that
all necessary measurements and
test are conducted.
With improper installation and
operation, hazards may arise
from the equipment. Prior to
the planning and during the
installation of the unit, the
following points must absolutely
be observed.
■ The units must be installed and
operated in such a way that
personnel are not endangered
by exhaust and radiant heat and
no fires may occur
■ During installation of the units
it must be ensured that the
flow of warm air does not
have damaging effects on the
surroundings
■ Fire hazards must be eliminated
through the selection of
materials for the installation
and position surfaces. For this
purpose, see TRGI, Section
5.1.3.3
■ The wall or ceiling intended for
installation must also consist of
non-flammable materials. Its
load capacity must be checked;
reinforcements must be installed
when necessary
■ Brackets must be securely
anchored to the wall or ceiling
and the units must be attached
to the brackets at the points
provided for this purpose at the
factory
■ Appropriate maintenance
possibilities for heat exchangers,
burners, ventilators and flue gas
evacuation must be planned for
■ It must be possible to actuate
control elements for the units
and fuel supply from the
ground.
Maintenance and repair
possibilities must be ensured by
the operator
■ The units must be inspected by
an authorised service technician
at least once annually. For this
purpose, concluding a service
contract with a service company
is recommended
■ During planning and installation
of the exhaust gas routeing, the
structural possibilities as well as
the applicable local and country-
specific regulations must be
consistently adhered to.
■ In dusty environments, as well
as in places with ammoniacal
atmospheres, service and
maintenance measures must be
carried out in accordance with
the respective conditions. The
combustion air must be fed from
outside as a basic rule
Selection of the installation
location
With determination of the
installation location, the
requirements must
be coordinated in regard to:
■ Fire protection and operational
hazard
■ Function:
space heating, underpressure
and/or overpressure in the
installation space, etc.
■ operational concerns, heat
requirement, nominal air flow
rate, circulating air requirement,
humidity, room temperature, air
distribution, spatial requirements
■ installation, repair and
maintenance possibilities. The
units must be installed in such a
way that they are always easily
accessible for maintenance and
repair work.
The equipment may not be
set up or installed in areas
with explosive or corrosive
atmospheres!
