“The Equator”
must be installed in a location so that it is readily
accessible for servicing and have no restriction of airflow to the air inlet of
the heater’s casing.
Patio Heating Design Considerations
“The Equator”
placement is critical for effective and efficient patio
heating. If heaters are placed too close together, or mounted too low,
patrons of the patio may become uncomfortable. If heaters are placed too
far apart, or too high, on a breezy or wind-swept patio, the area may never
become comfortable.
Infrared heaters work best if placed in areas of greatest heat loss, such as
the open side of a semi-protected patio.
“The Equator”
may be angle mounted up to 35 degrees maximum.
When mounting above 20 degrees to a maximum of 35 degrees, wind
protection must be provided. Note clearances to combustibles chart on
page 4.
Windy conditions can be a problem when heating any patio. Windbreaks
can be extremely effective in increasing comfort levels.
The heating requirements of any patio depend greatly on local climatic
conditions.
It is recommended that you work with a local and experienced supplier and
installer who are familiar with the heating requirements of your area.
WARNING:
FOR ENCLOSED PATIOS
Enclosed patios must be large enough to meet the clearance,
combustion air and ventilation requirements of
“The Equator”. “The
Equator”
may not be suitable for very small-enclosed patios. Consult
the local authority, for information on local codes prior to using
“The
Equator”
in an enclosed area.
