Applications

Propex Heatsource blown air systems are used in many applications throughout the world, these include Motorhomes, Caravans, Boats, Cranes, Horseboxes, Mobile Workshops etc. Both 12 and 24 volt versions are available.

Control

The HS2800 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. The thermostat is an easy to fit surface mount design and integrates with the new electronics fitted to the HS2000 and HS2800 heaters. An easy to operate panel mounted digital timer/thermostat specifically designed for Heatsource, is also available. Unlike some heaters, there is minimal electric current consumption during ignition so cycling the Heatsource on and off does not have the effect of additional battery drain.

Installation

The HS2800 is are supplied with a complete fitting kit to suit either vehicle or marine applications. In vehicles and caravans 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. The 26mm i.d. ducts are supplied as standard in lengths of 750mm for vehicles and 1 metre for boats. The ends are finished with neat stainless steel end-caps which comply with EN624. The heat is ducted to one or more outlets through tough highly flexible 60mm or 76mm ducting. In the case of multi-outlet installations, the first outlet is an open outlet with directional control and the rest are closable and are used in conjunction with the appropriate sized plastic Y-branches. Marine applications feature an attractive polished stainless steel through hull fitting which accepts the stainless steel pipes for the flue outlet and the combustion air inlet. Extra ducting and stainless steel bulkhead mounting brackets are also part of the marine fitting kits.
 

Economy

The chart below reflects the consumption of gas if the heater was running continuously. In reality, both heaters have similar very high efficiency ratings, so the overall gas consumption will be about the same because the HS2800 will be running for a shorter period of time before the thermostat switches it off
 
HS2800 Economy & Consumption
Average consumption 225 grams/hour
3.9kg propane cylinder 17.5 hours
4.5kg butane 20.0 hours
13kg propane 58.0 hours
15kg butane 67.0 hours
19kg butane 84.5 hours
47kg butane 209.0 hours
904 Camping gaz (1.81kg) 8.0 hours
