Mounting Height Requirements <br /> : WARNING O <br /> If touched,the vent pipe and internal heater surfaces that are accessible from outside the heater <br /> will cause burns.Suspend the heater a minimum of 5 feet (1.5 meters) above the floor. <br /> • For best results,the heater should be mounted with certain rules In mind. In general, a unit should be located 8 to <br /> 12 feet(2.4 to 3.7 meters) above the floor. Units should always be arranged to blow toward or along exposed wall <br /> surfaces, if possible.Where two or more units are installed in the same room, a general scheme of air circulation <br /> should be maintained for best results. <br /> • Suspended heaters are most effective when located as close to the working zone as possible,and this fact should <br /> be kept in mind when determining the mounting heights to be used. However, care should be exercised to avoid <br /> directing the discharged air directly on the room occupants. <br /> • Partitions,columns,counters,or other obstructions should betaken into consideration when locating the unit heater <br /> so that a minimum quantity of airflow will be deflected by such obstacles. <br /> • When units are located in the center of the space to be heated,the air should be discharged toward the exposed <br /> walls. In large areas, units should be located to discharge air along exposed walls with extra units provided to <br /> discharge air in toward the center of the area. <br /> • At those points where infiltration of cold air is excessive, such as at entrance doors and shipping doors, it is <br /> desirable to locate the unit so that it will discharge directly toward the source of cold air from a distance of 15 to <br /> 20 feet (4.6 to 6.1 meters). <br /> • For a location where dirt,dust,or other airborne contaminants are present in the indoor environment,a separated- <br /> combustion unit that uses outside air for combustion is recommended. Using a separated-combustion unit reduces <br /> the buildup of contaminants on the burner. Any buildup on the burner adversely affects the combustion process. <br /> Hazards of Chlorine <br /> The presence of chlorine vapors in the combustion air of gas-fired heating equipment presents a potential corrosion <br /> hazard for separated-combustion heaters with regard to the combustion air inlet.Chlorine is usually found in the form <br /> of freon or degreaser vapors, When chlorine is exposed to flame, it will precipitate from the compound and go Into <br /> solution with any condensation that is present in the heat exchanger or associated parts.The result is hydrochloric <br /> acid, which readily attacks all metals including 300 grade stainless steel. Care should be taken to separate these <br /> vapors from the combustion process.This may be done by wise location of the unit vent and combustion air terminals <br /> with regard to exhausters or prevailing wind directions. Chlorine is heavier than air. Keep these facts In mind when <br /> determining installation location of the heater in relation to building exhaust systems. <br /> Dimensions <br /> Unit dimensions are shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 and listed in Table 4 and Table 5. <br /> 1-UBX-UBZ-UDX-UDZ(04-21)1034344-0 7 <br />
