Models 7D837A thru 7D849A, 7D851A, 7AR79 thru 7AR88
A tube heater system is being installed in 70’ (L) x 40’ (W) space with 12’ ceilings. Two overhead doors are located at one
end and an equipment storage area exists on one side. The calculated heat load is 300,000 BTU/H.
Design Scenario
Figure 2.1 • Poor Design
• Two burners (150,000 BTU/H each)
are placed at one end, opposite the
area of highest demand (overhead
doors).
• Recommended mounting heights
are not observed.
• Produces an uneven heat
distribution.
Figure 2.2 • Good Design
• Four burners (75,000 BTU/H each)
are placed in each corner. Burner
(hotter) ends direct heat to areas of
highest head demand.
• Recommended mounting heights
observed.
• Distributes heat more evenly.
