  • Page 4: Preface

    Preface GoGaS high intensity heaters represent an efficient and comfortable alternative to conventional heating systems. The infrared gas fired heater is an atmospherically operated infrared heater which converts most of the energy applied (natural gas or LPG) into thermal radiation. The sensible radiation component within the vicinity of persons allows a reduction in the air temperature, thus leading to energy savings.
  • Page 5: Important

    Goch GmbH & Co. KG Important This appliance must be installed in accordance with current connection and installation regulations and may only be used in adequately ventilated rooms. The installation and operating instructions must be inspected and understood before installation and before start-up. Before installation it must be checked whether local gas distributions, gas types and gas pressures as well as the settings of the appliance are compatible.
  • Page 6: Layout Considerations

    Layout Considerations 1. Because high intensity heaters are un-vented, ensure that adequate ventilation will be available; most codes require a minimum of 4 cfm per 1000 BTUH of installed heat capacity in natural gas, 4.5 cfm per 1000 BTUH for propane. Also see section on Ventilation.

  • Page 17: Ventilation

    Goch GmbH & Co. KG Ventilation Buildings using high intensity radiant heaters require ventilation. High Intensity type heaters are considered un-vented gas fired appliances, requiring ventilation to supply combustion air and dilute/remove the products of combustion. Requirements for combustion air supply and dilution air vary by jurisdiction, building type and specific installation details.
  • Page 18: Operation

    Operation Single-Stage High Intensity Heater  Ensure the gas supply line has been purged.  Open all gas cocks to the heaters and electrically energize the system.  Follow the instructions on the heaters Lighting Instructions Label. Check to ensure that the thermostat starts and shuts down the system.
  • Page 19: Annual Maintenance

    Goch GmbH & Co. KG Annual Maintenance  Close the fuel gas valve and de-energize electrical power to the heater.  With an air hose regulated to no more than 15 psig blow away accumulated dust.
