Propex HS2000E Marine heater (single outlet) The Propex HS2000e marine blown air heater is an excellent alternative to a diesel blown air system, here are some of its main advantages: - Price!
- The HS2000E has Thermostat control
- It is a truly unique product, it can be used as an LPG blown air heater (just the same as the HS2000) or it can run as a sophisticated 230v (mains) powered fan heater
- It is very economical on LPG and 12v (have a look at the product details tab)
- Excellent longterm reliability. Burning gas is alot simpler and cleaner than burning diesel in a blown air heater and the Propex heatsource range of heaters dont have a number of the problems diesel blown air heaters experience.
- The Propex blown air marine heaters are "Room sealed". They draw combustion air from the outside air, and exhaust into the outside air without using any for the combustion process.
- For the inland boaters amongst us the Propex HS2000, HS2000E and HS2800 marine blown air heater kits are BSS compliant when fitted correctly -Please give us a call for details
Features: - Easy switching between LPG and mains operation on the Thermostat control
- Thermostat control in both LPG and mains modes of operation
- The mains mode works by using the heaters 12v systems to run the circulation fans and electronics, but in addition using a 230v element to heat the air rather than an LPG burner.
- Three heat levels on mains operation mode so that you dont overload the marina hook up (500w = 2.2A, 1000w = 4.4A, 2000w = 8.8A)
Kit contents: - 2.0kw Heatsource E heater & mounting bracket
- 1m stainless steel exhaust (22mm ID)
- 1m stainless steel combustion air inlet
- Gas fitting (compression joint)
- S/S skin fitting (to fit exhaust outlet and combustion air inlet)
- Wiring loom and Thermostat control (that operates both the LPG and mains function)
- 3m hot air ducting and single directional outlet vent (60mm dia)
- Relevant hose clips and fuses included.
Approx main body dims: 552mm long, 113mm deep, 172mm wide (please see dimensional drawing on this page for specific measurements as these dimensions exclude fittings) Outlet options: 1-3 Average gas consumptions: 142 g/hr - Lasts on a 3.9kg propane cylinder: 27.5hrs
- Lasts on a 13kg propane cylinder: 91.5hrs
- Lasts on a 4.5kg butane cylinder: 31.7hrs
- Lasts on a 15kg butane cylinder: 105.6hrs
LPG Heat output: 1.9kw 230v Heat output: 500w, 1000w or 2000w (three discrete heat settings) 12v Current usage: 1.7A on Gas, 2.2A on mains operation 230v Current usage: 9A maximum (only when running in 230v mode) The Propex HS2000E LPG and 230v blown air heater can be fitted up to one, two or three outlets. The kit detailed on this page has a single outlet, in order to add an extra outlet all you need to do is purchase an extra outlet kit (which will aslso be detailed on this site). The important things to remember when routing ducting are the following: - The longer the length of ducting, the more heat will be lost through the walls of the pipe rather than supplied to the blown air outlet (insulation can aleviate this problem)
- The greater the number of outlets fitted to the Propex heater, the greater number of times the heat output is being divided, hence the smaller heat ouput per outlet.
- Atleast one outlet needs to be open at all times, therefore in a single outlet kit the outlet vent is directional but not closeable. Additonal outlets supplied can be directional and closeable.
The main jobs involved in fitting a marine blown air heater are: Mounting the main unit Running and connecting the gas (LPG) supply Providing a 230v 3-pin mains socket to facilitate 230v running Drilling and fitting the exhaust skin fitting and connecting the exhaust and air intake Connecting the wiring harness to a suitable 12v supply Running the ducting and mounting the outlet vent(s) Mounting and connecting the thermostat / controls
