Caloritech 20kW 600V GE Forced Air Unit Heater w/T‘stat (GE208CT)

Description

The Caloritech 20kW 600V GE Forced Air Unit Heater w/T’stat (GE208CT) is engineered for consistent heating in regular duty industrial and commercial settings. This unit delivers 20 kilowatts of forced air heat, equivalent to 68,240 BTU/hour, ensuring effective temperature maintenance across various spaces. Its robust 18-gauge steel cabinet, finished with ASA61 Grey epoxy paint, provides a resilient and corrosion-resistant exterior. The heater’s tubular heating elements are designed for efficient heat transfer. Powered by permanently lubricated motors with built-in thermal overloads and totally enclosed ball bearings, the motor is strategically mounted outside the element bundle to prevent premature wear and simplify maintenance. The integrated thermostat allows for precise temperature control, with a range of 41°F to 100°F (5°C to 38°C), and includes a manual reset high limit for enhanced safety. Adjustable air flow louvers enable directional control of the heated air, while the supplied ceiling mounting bracket offers flexible installation options.

HOW TO USE:

1. Mounting: Securely mount the unit to the ceiling using the supplied ceiling mounting bracket. Ensure the mounting surface can support the heater’s weight and that there is adequate clearance around the unit for proper airflow and maintenance. An optional wall bracket may be used if preferred.
2. Electrical Connection: Connect the heater to a 600V power supply according to local electrical codes and the provided wiring diagrams. The unit is field convertible between 1-phase and 3-phase, so ensure the wiring matches the selected phase configuration.
3. Thermostat Setting: Adjust the integrated thermostat to your desired temperature within the 41°F to 100°F (5°C to 38°C) range. The heater will cycle on and off to maintain this set temperature.
4. Airflow Adjustment: Direct the heated air by adjusting the airflow louvers on the front of the unit to optimize heat distribution within the space.
5. Operation Monitoring: Monitor the heater’s operation. In case of an overheat condition, the manual reset high limit will trip, shutting off the unit. Allow the unit to cool before manually resetting the high limit if this occurs.
6. Maintenance: Periodically check the unit for dust accumulation and ensure that air inlets and outlets are not obstructed to maintain optimal performance and prevent overheating.
