INTRODUCING Indeeco’s new WET LOCATION Ultra-Safe™ EXP explosion-proof unit heater
Thermal Products Inc is excited to introduce the new Indeeco “WET LOCATION” Ultra-Safe™ EXP explosion-proof unit heater is designed with both safety and versatility in mind.
Optional Wet Location Features:
Washable per IP55
IP55 Motor
Type 4 outdoor rated enclosure and optional features
Meets Rain Tight requirements of UL 1004-1
Unique ULTRA-SAFE™ EXP features include:
Industry’s Lowest Ignition Temperature Code Rating: T3C, 320°F (160°C)
Dual Overtemperature Protection: With both automatic and manual reset overtemperature cutouts for additional safety.
Nontoxic Propylene Glycol Heat Transfer Fluid
Low 70 PSIG Relief Valve Setting: This assures that in an emergency, the initial escaping vapor temperature remains below the 320°F (160°C) ignition temperature.
Corrosion Resistant Options: INDEECO offers three constructions suitable for most applications.
Standard construction for use in dry non-corrosive areas includes: welded steel heat exchanger; powder-coated cabinet.
A 316 stainless steel construction suitable for Waste Water Treatment Plants includes: 316 stainless steel heat exchanger, headers and tubes with aluminum fins; stainless steel cabinet; corrosion resistant hardware.
Third construction is suitable for use in Chemical Plants where chlorides are present and includes: Heresite® coated heat exchanger, cabinet, fan blade; corrosion resistant hardware.
Standard Construction Features
Heat Exchanger
Efficient liquid-to-air design utilizes an all welded steel headers and finned tube construction with spiral wound aluminum fins. Industrial grade INDEECO heating elements are immersed in a nontoxic, inhibited, propylene glycol heat transfer fluid that provides freeze protection down to -49°F (-45°C). The heat exchanger is hydrostatically tested at 350 psig. A pressure relief valve provides excess pressure protection and is set at 70 psig.
Fan Motor Assembly
Consists of an explosion-proof motor fitted with an aluminum fan blade. The motor has double- shielded, permanently lubricated ball bearings and automatic reset line breaking thermal overload protection. Motors furnished on standard units operate at line voltage and are prewired to the control enclosure so separate field wiring to the motor is not required. The standard motor is rated for Class I, Groups C and D, Class II, Groups F and G. The minimum operating temperature is -14°F (-25°C) and the minimum storage temperature is -49°F (-45°C). Download the product data sheet for optional motor ratings.
Cabinet/Louvers
Industrial grade, corrosion resistant construction fabricated from beige powder coated 14-gauge galvanized steel. The adjustable louvers have minimum opening safety stops.
Controls
Factory mounted on the unit heater. Standard built-in controls include automatic and manual reset overtemperature cutouts, controlling magnetic contactor, and 24-volt control circuit transformer housed in a NEMA 7, 9 cast aluminum enclosure.
Factory Built-in Options
316 Stainless Steel Corrosion-Resistant Construction (Waste Water Treatment Plants)
316 Stainless steel heat exchanger with aluminum fins, 316 stainless steel cabinet; aluminum fan blade; cast aluminum NEMA 4, 7, 9 control enclosure; corrosion-resistant hardware; corrosion-resistant protective coated motor, which has passed the ASTM B117 salt-spray test.
Dirty Duty Corrosion-Resistant Construction (Chemical Plants)
Heresite® coated heat exchanger, cabinet and fan blade; cast aluminum NEMA 4, 7, 9 control enclosure; corrosion-resistant hardware; corrosion-resistant protective coated motor which has passed the ASTM B117 salt-spray test.
Disconnect Switch
Factory installed on the unit heater above the control enclosure. This is an inexpensive and positive way to meet NEC/CEC requirements for a disconnecting means within sight of the heater.
