Re: Dunnair LSFP25
Sadly the Dunnair website doesn't have much useful on it does it?
Any electric heater needs a control thermostat and an overheat thermostat as a safety backup. The overall control circuit for the heaters needs to be linked back to the AHU so that they cannot be switched on without the fan running.
The fan should also incorporate a run on timer so that at plant switch off, timeswitch or otherwise, there will be air blowing over the heaters to dissipate any residual heat.
Are the heaters being staged or are they being fitted in separate ducts?Brian - Newton Abbot, Devon, UK

Re: Dunnair LSFP25
OK, so you need a four stage thermostat, airflow switch, overheat switch, fan run-on timer, four isolators and you'll be nearly there.
Some documents on electric duct heaters...

Re: Dunnair LSFP25
a step controller to gradually load up the heater bank and an interlock to prevent heaters from running when cooling is enabled.
