Ace overhead fan heaters

Ace overhead fan heaters are designed for mounting in the roof spaces of large tall commercial and industrial buildings. Modern air tight construction methods, combined with high levels of insulation mean these high volume buildings don't require heaters with big outputs, but do need high airflows to efficiently distribute heat throughout the building.

Ace fan heaters have powerful fans which throw warm air up to 15m (49ft). Where this is not sufficient polythene ducting can be attached to distribute warm air up to 45m (150ft.).

Ace fan heaters are intended for use in large factories, workshops, warehouses, etc. Because of the noise produced by the fan and air passing through the heater they are not suitable for use in small buildings, buildings with low ceilings, or where a continuous loud noise would be intrusive. In such cases use our wall mounted fan heaters instead.

Ace fan heaters are available with either 10kW or 20kW outputs, for use with 400V 3 phase electricity supplies.

Heavy duty heating

The Ace fan heater is a heavy duty unit designed for use in the toughest environments. Its case is fabricated from steel, finished in pastel beige (RAL7032) scratch and corrosion resistant polyester powder paint. Zinc plated steel finger guards are fitted to the inlet and outlet.

The fan motor is efficient, lightweight and robust. It is totally enclosed and sealed for life. The impeller blades are made from high quality GRP, fitted to die cast aluminium hubs, coated in polyester powder paint. They are factory set and balanced for maximum efficiency.

Ducting options

Polythene ducting - to distribute warm air upto 40m (131 ft.)
Flexible ducting - to direct hot air into difficult to reach areas, such as inspection pits, storage tanks etc.
Metal ducting - to heat individual zones, i.e. workstations.

See Ace fan heater accessories for further details.

Mounting options

Over heat protection

For complete safety  Ace fan heaters are fitted with two over heat cutouts, in the fan motor and adjacent to the element assembly. The cutouts automatically reset once the temperature falls to a safe level.

External controls

The Activair Ace heater requires external control equipment. It can be controlled by thermostat, humidistat, or electronic building controls, see controlling Ace electric fan heaters for more information.

Our basic control panel is enclosed in a IP55 steel case, with a door interlocked isolator. Inside it has an mcb for the fan motor, element contactor, and 24 hour time switch.

The twin heater panel is fitted with separate element mcbs for each heater.

A front mounted switch allows the use to select continuous fan operation, or switched with the elements. Indicator lights show when the fan and elements are operating.

Each panel is supplied with a heavy duty Danfoss thermostat.
