Heat Wave™ 45KW Portable Electric Heater
The odorless, flameless electric alternative to propane and kerosene space
heaters
Heat Wave Salamanders provide the climate
control you need for interior jobs, without the thread of poisoning from
combustion by-products or the time wasted in refueling and fuel storage.
Use for facilities maintenance, construction sites, home construction, temporary
office heat, assists in drying.
Unlike fuel-fired heaters a Heat Wave can be
left unattended. The built-in safety features include a continuously
variable thermostat and hi-temperature cut-out switch coupled to an auto-reset.
Both help to prevent accidents. Since the Heat Wave is powered by
electricity it is very quiet and also maintenance free.
Operation is simple. The Heat Wave's 220
CFM fan pushes ambient air over multiple heat coils,
recirculating air within the room until it reaches the temperature level set
with the unit's thermostat. The thermostat adjusts from 40° to 100° F.
All units can also be switched to fan-only operation. Safety screens cover
each end of the heat drum. Additional industrial grade components are:
long-life finned tubular heating elements, motor, fan assembly and magnetic
contactor.
- Safety yellow heater enclosure with safety
screens on both air intake and output openings
- Optional 25' long SO type cord, ready for
plug attachment is available for each model

- Thermostat adjustment 40° to 100° F
- Two 10” rear wheels and a front locking
caster
- High-limit thermal cutout switch with manual
reset

*Based on a 15' ceiling
height - lower ceiling height will reduce time required |
Sample Applications:
- New Construction: An insulated
"up-to-code" 1800 sq. ft. building would require one 15kW heater to achieve up
to a 60°F temperature rise. Uninsulated, the same space could realize a
temperature rise of 40°F. These temperature rises will normally be
reached in just over two hours.
- Pole Building/Work Shop: To
heat an insulated 2000 sq ft (40' x 50') pole building with a 12" ceiling -
use two 15kW heaters. This will provide a 60°F temperature rise within
two to three hours.
- Industrial Storage Building Inside of a
Main Facility: An uninsulated 20' x 30' cement-block building with
12' ceilings that is located inside of the main facility which has an ambient
temperature of 40°F - would require one 15kW heater to achieve a 30°F
temperature rise. This temperature rise will normally be reached in
one-half hour.
