General recommendations RTGI-RTG Direct gas heaters are designed for horticultural premises, livestock or for supplementary heating in industrial premises. The unit can only be installed in rooms which are sufficiently ventilated. If you intend to use the heater in a room with a dusty or dirty atmosphere, like poultry houses, the combustion air inlet must be well-sealed and connected to the outside.
RTGI-RTG heaters are designed to heat horticultural premises, livestock or to be used for supplementary heating in industrial premises. They are composed of a premix burner, set into the flow of air, and a fan to diffuse the hot air. The combustion air, sucked by a variable combustion fan, go through a Venturi system which controls the good quantity of gas according to the airflow.
RTGI-RTG model Direct combustion heater RTGI-RTG are equipped with axial fan. They are designed for direct blowing and are equipped in series with a protection grille. Performances Modulating burner 1 stage burner TYPES RTGI 60 RTGI 90 RTGI 120 RTG 60 RTG 90 RTG 120 Maximum power...
