Description
Quality Propex product. The Propex HS2000E Heater – Gas & Mains Blown Air Heater – is an automatic, thermostatically controlled blown air heating system fuelled by propane / butane gas or 230V mains electric. This Propex set up allows for much greater versatility between the two power sources and helps to conserve your gas supply when on sites with electric hook-up. Please be aware these heaters are rated for use with 30mb butane and 30/37mb propane. This is widely acceptable across Europe though some European countries also use 50mb gas pressure.
Control
The HS2000E is supplied as standard with a solid state electronic thermostat which automatically switches the unit on and off to maintain the desired temperature. When the room temperature drops below the selected level, the heatsource will automatically ignite and run until the cabin reaches the selected temperature.
Easy To Install
The thermostat is an easy to fit surface mount design and integrates with the new electronics fitted to the HS2000E heaters. Simple intuitive controls enable easy switching between the gas and electric modes and a constant heater feedback loop enable quick and easy system diagnose. Selectable electric hook up power levels easily ensures you do not over load your available supply.
Efficiency
Gas Efficiency
With forced air combustion and the Propex two stage stainless steel heat exchanger, the HS2000E is a clean and highly efficient way to heat your vehicle. Air for combustion is taken from outside your vehicle and passed into the combustion chamber having been mixed with gas during three aeration stages, it is ignited automatically and heats up the large surface area of the heat exchanger. The Heatsource units are totally room sealed and exhaust all products of combustion externally through the neat 22mm i.d. stainless steel flue pipe. To add to the efficiency, cabin air is normally re-circulated in preference to using cold air from outside. The HS series heaters are very efficient on 12 volt electrical consumption drawing less than 1.7 amps on gas operation or 2.2 amps during mains operation.
Mains Electric
For those using a mains hook up there is the option of using the powerful electric element with efficient heat exchanger built in. Three settings are available giving 500W, 1KW or 2KW of jeat output and drawing a maximum current of 9 amps. The motor speed is altered to suit each power level to ensure maximum efficiency or, when on low 500W setting keeping motor and air noise to a minimum for night time running. The heater is supplied with a mains cable and moulded 3 pin plug.
Features and Safety
Quiet Operation
Propex heaters are designed to be quiet in operation without compromising air throughput and heat output. There will always be some air noise from a system that produces a healthy throughput of air, however, by using high quality balanced fans and smooth enclosed motors with ball race bearings, noise is kept to a minimum.
Noise is also unaffected by high voltage, a common occurrence with battery chargers, solar panels etc permanently wired. The micro processor electronics regulates the motor voltage so that the fan speed does not alter between 10 and 15 volts.
Safety
Heatsource blown air heaters conform to the latest European standards for both the appliance and the electronics and during the rigorous testing the focus is very much on safety. The heaters also have to comply with an enhanced version of the Electro Mechanical Compatibility Directive to ensure they do not interfere with other electronics. The intelligent electronics are continuously monitoring the operation of the heater to make sure everything is operating correctly and safely. This includes monitoring of the flame, case temperature, combustion airflow, gas solenoid valve and voltage. Should any of these stray outside of the predetermined levels, the heater will be switched off and the red light on the thermostat will indicate a fault by flashing a certain number of times.
Installation
The HS2000E is supplied with complete fitting kits to suit vehicle use. In vehicles the unit is usually mounted in a bed box or cupboard, flued downwards through the floor and out to the side of the vehicle using flexible stainless ducting. These ducts (22mm internal diameter) are supplied as standard in lengths of 750mm. The ends are finished with neat stainless steel end caps which comply with EN624. The heat is ducted to one or more outlet through tough highly flexible 60mm ducting. In the case of multi-outlet installations, the first outlet is an open outlet with directional control and the rest are closeable and are used in conjunction with the appropriate sized plastic Y branches.
