1.7 Applications

Operation and Maintenance Manual - FHG Series

The G heaters are direct combustion gas appliances, specifically designed for heating premises in agriculture and livestock applications (poultry farms, greenhouses, etc.). The air is heated using the thermal energy developed by the combustion of the gas and is then sent to the room to be heated together with the products of combustion, thus making 100% of the thermal power produced available. The environment must be suitably ventilated to ensure air renewal and emission control. Do not use the generator in basements or below ground level, nor in rooms used for domestic purposes.

The appliance is equipped with all the safety devices required by the standards, which ensure safe operation in all conditions:

- Flame control equipment: carries out pre-ignition checks, controls the ignition sequence, checks the presence of the flame during operation and shuts down the machine in the event of anomalies.
- Manual reset safety thermostat: protects the appliance from overheating by switching off the burner.
- Air pressure switch: intervenes in the event of an abnormal reduction in the air flow rate, causing the flame to extinguish.

The materials and components used ensure reliability, corrosion resistance and durability even in the most critical environments.

This machine must only be used for the purpose for which it was designed:
"Gas-fired air heater for space heating for agricultural and livestock use'.
All other uses are improper and potentially dangerous.

2.3 Fire prevention guidelines

Operation and Maintenance Manual - FHG Series

Make sure that the installation of the generators complies with all the local and national fire prevention rules and laws in force in the country of destination, if necessary seeking advice from experts or the competent authorities (Fire Brigade, etc.) and, if necessary, obtaining the necessary authorisations. In the absence of more specific regulations or legislation, the following general guidelines should be followed, which are provided for guidance only (Fig. 2.3.1):

· The heated room must be completely above ground. · Do not place any combustible materials or objects, or use open flames within 4 m of the hot air
generator. · Maintain the following minimum safety distances between the appliance and walls/ceilings:

- Minimum distance from ceiling: 1 m - Minimum distance from wall - inlet side: 0.6 m - Minimum distance from side walls: 1 m - Minimum distance from wall - outlet side: 3 m

1 m

Operation and Maintenance Manual - FHG Series
Provide ventilation openings evenly distributed on the outside walls of the room, with a minimum section as shown in the following table:

Model FHG 36-25 FHG 45-40 FHG 56-65 FHG 56-90

Minimum cross-section of ventilation openings per installed FG unit 500 cm2 800 cm2 1300 cm2 1800 cm2

2.4 Ventilation requirements

The FG series heaters are direct exchange appliances, which release hot air mixed with the products of combustion into the heated environment. It is therefore necessary, in order to keep the emissions within the safety limits, to ensure an appropriate renewal of the air in the room. According to European guidelines (EN 525:2009, annex C), the system as a whole, including hot air generators, any fans, ventilation openings, etc., must be sized in such a way as to ensure that the air in the room is adequately ventilated. According to European guidelines (EN 525:2009 annex C), the system as a whole, including hot air generators, any fans, ventilation openings, etc., must be sized so that the volume concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the environment does not exceed 0.28% (2800 ppm), particularly in areas where people may be present. The following table shows the theoretical values of the fresh air flow rate to be introduced into the room as a function of the installed heating capacity, in order to maintain a CO concentration <2 0.28% for the most commonly used gases.
