Introduction
Unit heaters integrated units of heating coil and
fan are primarily designed for heating of large
rooms by means of hot air. This heating method
has a number of advantages as far as space, operation and economy is concerned.
The unit heaters are easily mounted on bulkheads or below decks, take up little space and
can be located to suit the arrangement of the
room.
The hot air supplied is quickly mixed with the

stream, which distributes the heat to all parts

which can be changed and extended concurrently with rebuilding.

Furthermore, the system offers the possibility
of individual operation with varying heating
and ventilating requirements.
For these reasons the unit heaters form the ideal
heating system for machinery and store rooms
with large deck heights.
Unit Heater Type VLE
Unit heater types VLE for electrical power are

available in 3 sizes. The capacity of the heating
coils are 3 36 kW. Power supply and capacity are
according to requirements.

The heat emission of the units can be controlled in

several ways:

page 33 for more about sound and sound power
levels in particular.
The following table indicates the sound power
level of the unit heaters at different speeds, divided into octave bands, and the sound pressure
In installations where the inlet temperature of the

air can be below 0 C, frost protection of the heating coil will be necessary.
Considering the comfort of the room, as well as
the operating economy, it is recommended that
heat emission is controlled by means of an automatic control system. The control is done either by
level in the stated conditions.

The motors are without thermal protection and
must be protected via a protective motor switch.
