UNIT HEATERS AND UNIT VENTILATORS
Definitions; Unit Heaters: Classification, Application, Ratings, Location, Space Temperatures, Control, Piping, Boiler Capacity; Unit Ventilators: Ratings, Capacity Requirements, Application, Selection, Control, Location, Exhaust Flues; Window Ventilators
DESCRIPTIONS of heating, cooling, ventilating, humidifying, and dehumidifying systems are given in other chapters. This chapter deals with unit heaters and unit ventilators. Unit air conditioners and unit coolers are discussed in Chapter 25.
Definitions
1 The generally accepted meaning of the word unit in the terms unit heat ers, unit ventilators, and unit humidifiers, is that of a factory-made en cased assembly of the functional elements indicated by its name. Such units can be shipped complete or in. sections, so that the only field work necessary is the assembling of the sections, providing proper supports, and connecting the unit to sources of heat (or fuel), power and water supply and, if necessary-, to vent pipes for combustion gases.
The term unit heater denotes an assembly of.elements, the principal function of which is heating. The essential elements of a unit heater are a fan and motor, a heating element, a housing, and outlet vanes or diffusers.
The term unit ventilator denotes an assembly, the principal function of which is to ventilate.: Tt'may serve to circulate air within the space, or to introduce air from without the space, or may accomplish both purposes. The essential elements of a unit ventilator are a fan and motor, a heating element, a set of dampers, a housing, and outlet vanes or diffusers..
UNIT HEATERS
Classification
The various types of unit heaters which are at present available can usu ally be classified according to one of the three following methods:
1. By type of heater.. Under this classification there are three types of heating elements-to be considered: (o) the steam or hot water type, (6) the electric type, and. (c) the direct fired type which may be gas, oil, or coal fired.
2. By type of fan. Under this classification there are two types of fans to be considered: (o) the propeller type1 and (b) the centrifugal type. Either type may be arranged for horizontal or vertical delivery of air.
3. By arrangement of dements. Under this classification there are two types of heaters to be considered: (a) the draw-through type, in which the fan draws air through, and (5) the blow-through type, in which the fan blows air through the heater.
Unit heaters are available in any combination of the three preceding gen eral classifications. For example, the steam or hot water type may be
