GP
Air Heater

GP Hanging Air Heater is designed for a wide range of indoor environments,

including poultry houses, greenhouses, commercial and industrial premises
where the ground surface is scarce. Four hooks (two on each side) make it
easy to hang the heater close to the area where heating is required.
The heater works on the principle of indirect combustion, which ensures
clean operation and prevents any emission of exhaust gas into the heated
environment. The GP heater can burn wide range of fuels such as diesel,
natural gas, LPG or propane (paraffin upon request). It is supplied fully
assembled and ready for installation. The standard product line encompasses
a range of small sizes with nominal heating efficiencies around 90%.

Technology basis

The GP Air Heater works on a principle of indirect combustion. A heat

exchanger is used to separate the combustion process from the heated air
stream, which allows for combustion gases to exit the building through a
chimney. A powerful fan forces room air at high pressure over the heat
exchanger where the air absorbs heat from the combustion process. The
warm and dry air is then supplied into the room through the air outlet. The
standard type of air outlet has an elliptical design suitable for installation of
a plastic duct for an optimal distribution of the warm air throughout the
desired indoor area.

Design
Combustion chamber and heat exchanger:
the combustion chamber is made from stainless
steel. It has a special cylindrical shape allowing
good flame reversal in order to reach high
combustion temperatures and very efficient heat
exchange. Both the combustion chamber and the
heat exchanger have been designed to reach high
thermal efficiency and extended service life of the
heater.
Axial fan: the direct driven axial fan is equipped
with round safety mesh.
Radial fan: radial fan is belt driven and equipped
with protection mesh. It ensures high pressure
output and low noise levels.
Housing: housing is made of pre-coated
galvanized steel in order to prevent corrosion and
enable easy cleaning.
Burner: high efficiency has been the main
priority in the design of the heater. Each heater
is equipped with a stand-alone, high quality
burner, which assures an excellent combustion,
stable performance and extremely safe operating
conditions (See the table beside).
Operation and regulation
The GP heater is also equipped with programmable
digital room thermostat and remote temperature
sensor for stand alone use. This allows the user
to measure the temperature in the most critical
points and to operate the heater accordingly. In
case of climate controlled indoor environment,
the GP heater must be driven by the output relay
from the climate controller. In order to increase
the safety and to avoid instable operation, there is
a dual switching mechanical thermostat mounted
on the heater. The thermostat activates the fan
motor based on the temperature measured on the
combustion chamber and on the heat exchanger.
In case of fan malfunction it stops the burner
and the fuel flow immediately. A pyroglass eye
installed on the heaters housing makes it easy to
inspect the flame inside the combustion chamber.
For operations in the dusty environments it is
recommended to use a supplementary flexible
pipe to supply fresh and clean air from outside
into the burner.
Installation and maintenance
GP is equipped with four hooks (two on each
side). Thus it can be easily hung over the area that
requires heating. The standard supply contains 2
stainless steel exhaust pipes (each 1 meter long);
stainless steel chimney; a big size stainless steel
roof pass plate for easy installation in structures
made from plastic film and a digital room
thermostat. The combustion chamber can be easily
cleaned with pressurised water (with or without
detergents) through a built-in service port. Chains
and wires for hanging the heater are not included
in the supply. It is generally recommended that a
jet-fan is installed in conjunction with each heater
outlet.
